He is actually the amnesiac consciousness of Seiman Tsuchimikado, who was taken in by a family from ancient times. After Lady Ashino's cruelty and desire for eternal beauty killed many innocents, Seiman fought her himself. Although he died, he inflicted a final curse on her that killed her as well. He resurrected himself with the Rite and wrote down how to destroy the Rite forever, then split himself into body, soul, and mind. His body became his lineage, his soul became the Beckoning Light -- which allows the user to kill a Curse Bearer with their own curse -- and his mind became the Player.
