Owain Eudes

Owain Eudes was a Ylessen Shinobi and swordsman who fought along side the members of Team A: Morgan and Inigo. Owain was a dreamer, his goal being to become the best swordsman in the world. He would push himself in the sword, but that only caused his other Shinobi abilities to regress. He took place in the 49th Chunnin Exam with his team, and was eliminated in the first round of the 3rd test, by Maki. After the death of Morgan, Owain and Inigo escaped the Sound Village, only to die to buy time for Inigo to run.

Childhood
Owain kept a silly attitude that often got him in trouble at the academy. Morgan and Inigo found him endearing, and became close friends with him. Because of this he was put on Team A with them despite having less talent then his two partners. His overuse of the sword would get him in trouble. He dreamed of leaving Ylesse to join a swordsman academy, but his parents forbade it.

49th Chunnin Exams
When the 49th Chunnin Exams were announced, Ylesse did not want to send Owain with his team, but Morgan and Inigo pleaded otherwise. Owain himself felt that he was not ready, but could not leave his team to fend for themselves. He turned out to be a great asset as his knowledge and mastery of swords helped team A get their record. Even in the 1 on 1 combat he was able to hold his own for some time, but the elemental powers of Maki became overwhelming for his single sword.

Death
After the death of Morgan Owain stopped Inigo from attacking the leaders of the Leaf. He knew that if they lingered in the sound village they would be arrested or killed. He calmed Inigo down and the two of them ran. They didn't get far before the leaf masters noticed their absence and began to give chase. Owain knew that he and Inigo were close to the port town of Vermillion, but he also knew that there wasn't much time before the masters caught up to him. He decided to stay behind and fight to let Inigo get back to Ylesse. Inigo pleaded for him not to but Owain knew that one of them would have to stay behind. He figured that he would finally have a chance for Yleese to be proud of him, and to see his honor. When Inigo left he began to make a trap. The masters were on him quickly. All he asked was for them to fight him with honor. Eerit chose to fight him. Eerit also being a swordsman gave Owain what he wanted. Owain's sword ability allowed him to cut Eerit down. While the masters got caught in his trap. Once out they found Owain and killed him. Inigo had the time to get to the boat before the masters got to Vermillion.
