Shien (紫炎) is one of Homura's allies during the second half of the Gensoumaden Saiyuki anime series. In the manga, Shien makes only a brief appearance in Saiyuki Gaiden.
Personality Though he has a collected and refined exterior, he's racked by the guilt of following corrupt orders several years ago. In battle he is fierce, slaying the opponent with his twin 'Light Whips.' Despite this, he nearly always lets the Sanzo party live when he fights them. He wears a hair tie which later turns out to be a power limiter.

Before joining Homura
He was previously working under the War Prince Nataku, and wonders what Nataku saw in the human world, after the fight with Gyumaoh, as Nataku told him he wanted to stay longer. A celebration is held every year when he descends to view the scenery Nataku seemed to be most fond of.
