A meek, gullible child, Ayase's peaceful existence was rudely upset by the sudden death of both his parents, a noblewoman and a dagashi merchant who were viciously mauled by an undead entity while taking a shortcut through Miyajima Pass. The resultant tussles over the inheritance of his wealthy father's business embittered Ayase, and he subsequently chose to take up training as a cleric with the Imperial Shrine, swearing to destroy all the undead he came across.

Fearful that getting close to other people would leave him once again vulnerable to the unbearable grief he felt when he lost his parents, Ayase has since adopted a condescending, caustic attitude which he utilises in tandem with an abrasive front. Despite his remarkable skill with exorcism Ayase is widely disliked by his colleagues and is often obliged to take on work assignments on his own.
