Nakes is the incarnation of Ophiuchus. Miroku released him from his seal after consuming Rukinosu and Denebola. When Miroku was younger, he felt weak and useless, and was left for dead on the streets. He called out for help, and Nakes answered. Nakes told him to consume everything, promising him strength if Miroku would release him. He went inside Miroku, which gave him his powers and multi-colored eyes.
