Raiden, an orc residing in Japan during the early Meiji Restoration, began as a hired thug and hitman before fleeing his homeland to escape discrimination and seek redemption. A formative encounter with a young elf girl who showed him kindness inspired his protective devotion toward elves like Sonya.

Once part of the Inferni under a ruthless leader, Raiden was forced to capture elves to locate magic-wielding "Brights." To secure freedom, he accepted a final mission: a brothel raid where he crossed paths with Sonya and Izou, prompting his betrayal of the Inferni. He shattered his right fang with a rock—a sacred orcish oath—to pledge loyalty to Sonya and sever ties to his past.

Despite his calm, introspective nature, Raiden faced relentless prejudice, often branded violent due to his species. His bond with Izou exposed a yearning for redemption, fueled by guilt over past crimes and a resolve to shield the innocent.

In battle, Raiden wielded a war club with restrained strength, avoiding needless bloodshed. His former superior severed his leg during a confrontation; though reattached, the limb bore a faint green discoloration. During a climactic clash, he sacrificed himself to defeat the antagonist, dying before Sonya’s magic revived him.

Raiden’s journey traced his evolution from reluctant enforcer to selfless guardian, anchored by trust and redemption forged with Izou and Sonya. Their alliance aimed to thwart the Dark Lord’s return by protecting the wand, cementing his legacy as a protector who defied fate and prejudice.
