Before going on a word of note on this one and only hunted by The 'Dead. Kenshin was the unfortunate victim of the rock and the hard place. When he was forced to choose between his loyalty to his clan (and ultimately his deity) and The Walking Dead. Kenshin chose the former. Can you blame him? Not really. Of course, The 'Dead do and they blame him for Raptor's death and maybe even the reason why Body Bag is being hunted down by El Matador (and unfortunately El Matador's Troubadors). The 'Dead hold grudges and hold them for life. So whatever you do, don't betray them. They will hunt you down and if it means stopping in the middle of a run to kill you they will do it.
 
So Kenshin, if you're reading, please stay hidden in the shadows away from these lunatics!
