==History==
===Past===
Rigel was originally the younger brother of Nolun, the hero of Planet Riser. When the Hades Army attacked Planet Riser, Rigel was part of the fleet which fought to defend Planet Riser from the Hades Army's fleet. He was also in love with Maia, the princess of Planet Riser, but during the war she was killed by the Legendar Drake, who was assisting the Hades Army in their conquest of the planet. He at some point dueled Kaiser Hades and was defeated by him, but rather than kill him Hades wiped his memory and recruited him into his army to harness the Riser Power he possessed. While he was in the Hades Army, Rigel was trained by the Death Commander Danhauser and was known only as "Demon Knight", having forgotten his real name due to Hades's memory wiping.
===With Hades Army===
Demon Knight took part in the Hades Army and Daruga Imperial Army's conquest and destruction of numerous planets. He continued to serve in the Daruga Army after Hades was sealed on Earth by his older sister Nolun. After Hades was unsealed by Doctor Zora, Demon Knight came to Earth alongside General Bachuss and the six Death Commandos to resume his service to him. Assuming the alias of Shiro Jinno, Demon Knight attempted to fool the Justirisers into thinking that he thinking he was their ally in order to lure Mio Tendo into a trap. However, after he lured Mio into an attack by Leo Gaias, the Justirisers realized he was an enemy spy. Jinno then transformed into Demon Knight to battle them and easily managed to match all three of them in battle.
Demon Knight would go on to battle the Justirisers several times, developing a rivalry with Shouta. During Bulgario's assault, Demon Knight dueled Riser Glen in a one-on-one fight while the other Justirisers struggled against Bulgario in RiseRoss. However, filled with a determination to help his friends, Glen unlocked his full potential and defeated Demon Knight, wounding him to the point where Jinno lost his ability to change into Demon Knight. Because of this, Jinno deserted the Hades Army in shame of not being able to fight. He later attempted to fight Glen again and tried repeatedly to change into Demon Knight to no avail. It was then he was sighted by his old mentor, Death Commando Danhauser, who brought him back to the Hades Battleship. Danhauser told Jinno that he would only be able to transform again if he sorted out the disorder in his heart and not to present himself to him again until he had done so. He also attempted to tell Jinno the truth about his origins as a Riser alien, but was stopped by Bachuss before he could do so. Soon after, Jinno witnessed Glen become Shirogane and became filled with so much determination he was able to become Demon Knight again. He then charged at Shirogane to attack him, prompting Shirogane to fire an attack at him. Danhauser pushed Demon Knight out of the way before it could hit, but was fatally injured in the process. As he lay dying, Danhauser revealed to Demon Knight that much of his power was still locked away, but died before he could reveal the truth to Demon Knight about his origins.
From then on, Demon Knight rejoined the Hades Army but was met with hostility from General Bachuss, who saw him as a rival. After Hades selected Demon Knight to handle an operation involving Devoras instead of him, Bachuss began plotting to eliminate Demon Knight. When the two were sent out to obtain Mio's Justi Crystal and defeat the Justirisers, Bachuss summoned the Space Beast Scaraberus and used it to attack both the Justirisers and Demon Knight, but the Justirisers were able to destroy it.
Around this time, Demon Knight began to regain his memories of having been a hero of Planet Riser who fought against Kaiser Hades, but Hades sealed the memories to keep him loyal
After Bachuss was killed, Hades deemed Demon Knight no longer useful and attempted to eliminate him, resulting in Demon Knight deserting the Hades Army once more.
===Turning Good===
Following the defeat of Kaiser Hades, Demon Knight attempted to duel Riser Glen one more time. However, at that same time a member of the Riser resistance named Mira came to Earth and identified Demon Knight as the Legendary Knight of Planet Riser. Commander Adorocs also came to Earth and attempted to convince Demon Knight to stay with the Daruga Imperial Army, but with Mira's help Demon Knight regained his memories of being the Riser hero Rigel, leading Adorocs to kill Mira out of spite. Soon after, Jinno joined the Justirisers as an ally and assisted them in battling against the Daruga Imperial Army. He also took Mira's ring as a memento. While with the Justirisers, Jinno became close to Reika Motomiya and the two gradually began to fall in love.
When Majin Daruga arrived to conquer Earth, the full extent of Jinno's Riser Power reacted to the Justi potential within Reika. Right when his full power was about to awaken however it was stolen by Daruga, who used it to become Dark Demon God Kurogane. He also came face to face with Drake, the one who killed Princess Maia, after Daruga brought him to Earth to assist with the invasion. After becoming Demon Knight again through sheer determination, Jinno killed Drake to avenge Maia.
During the final battle, Jinno added his Riser Power to Mio's Justi power to give the Justirisers the energy to transform into Giant Shirogane and defeat Kurogane. With Kurogane, the Hades Army and the Daruga Army defeated, Jinno decided to return to Planet Riser to rebuild it and bid farewell to Shouta, Yuka, Shinya, Mio and Reika as he piloted Ryuto to return to his home planet.
