Raiden

Raiden is the current Shogun of Shoudu. He is the son of Bezenvial the Tyrant.

Appearance

Raiden wears a full plate armor, and carries a katana as the weapon of his choice.

Personality

Raiden, like his father before him, is a cruel tyrant, and seeks power above everything else. His obsession over Dai-Katana, the Singing Death, led him to pursue the path of immortality, which means he too fears death like any mortal. Radien carries a superiority complex, believing no one can triumph him in swordplay, and thus rarely fights his battles himself.

Early life

Raiden grew up in Thrandile with his brother. Having drank the milk of the Black Lotus flower, Raiden managed to feign death as a child, and survived the siege of the city in an entombment, until he was 12. When Raiden awoke in his crypt, he possessed nothing save an instinct to survive - even memory had been wiped from him - and a vague sense of understanding more than he knew. Bezenvial foresaw his demise at the hands of the good sorcerer Shang, and hoped one day, one of his two sons were able to carry of his reign and subject the whole of Allansia to his rule. However, Raiden has other plans of his own after killing the democratic leader Poo-Ta and reclaiming Shoudu as the Shogun.
