Description
Kris Rutherford, codename Jinn, is a human O-Tech with a body 60% mechanical. He hails from the affluent Rutherford family, former financial backers of Müller Royal Laboratories. After Müller's arrest prompted the family to withdraw support, Müller murdered Kris's parents and kidnapped both Kris and his younger sister Kleene. Kris endured traumatic experiments, forcibly converted into a cyborg while witnessing Müller inflict psychological torture on Kleene, shattering her emotional stability and driving Kris to dedicate his life to protecting her.

Initially operating as a mercenary for Rogue Out under the alias Jinn, Kris believed the organization's leader, an impostor posing as Sister Ivry, could cure Kleene. His missions included abducting B-Cubers from Planet Blue Garden. He maintained detached professionalism, avoiding unnecessary cruelty while acknowledging the moral ambiguity of his actions. His combat prowess blended cybernetic enhancements—like detachable rocket-propelled arms—with an unnamed wind-based Ether Gear. This allowed him to manipulate wind for offensive Skymech Ninjutsu techniques such as Windstorm Slash and high-speed movement. He clashed tactically, yet without personal animosity, with Shiki Granbell during Rogue Out operations.

Following Rogue Out's dissolution after the Chronophage struck Guilst, Kris and Kleene joined Drakken Joe's syndicate. Kris served as assistant to Kleene, now Sylph of the Element 4. His loyalty vanished upon discovering Drakken was siphoning life energy from everyone on the Belial Gore, including Kleene. This betrayal led him to defect, seeking temporary refuge aboard the Edens Zero with his sister.

Kris's demeanor shifted after two pivotal events: Sister Ivry healed Kleene's psychological trauma by confronting their past within her memories, and Weisz Steiner defeated Müller, ending the source of their childhood suffering. This dissolved his solitary nature, allowing genuine bonds. He smiled openly at Shiki's friendship declaration and pledged loyalty to the Edens Zero crew, formally joining as the Wind of Edens. His persistent devotion to Kleene's protection remained, now expressed through a calmer, collaborative approach within the crew.

Physically, Kris is tall and muscular with spiky green hair and red eyes, marked by mechanical seams. His attire evolved from a ninja-like cloak during his mercenary days to simpler sleeveless outfits upon joining Edens Zero. By X495, he wore longer hair and a ninja-style outfit under a long cloak.
