Roidmude 096

was a Plain Roidmude.
==Character History==
One year prior to the series, Roidmude 096 firstly appeared to a popular actress/model, Rira Nanao, who was traumatized after accidentally killing her lover, Hiroki. The Roidmude absorbed her memories as data for his disguise and played himself as Hiroki, saving her from various people she views as a threat.
In the present time, while she was walking on the street at night, Roidmude 069, under his human form (Koichi)'s personality tried to get to her but 096 appeared and attacked him. The next day, 096 tried to chase him again but met with Kamen Rider Mach and fought him. Managing to escape due to the latter busy on his fighting pose, he poisoned another stalker before running away. When 069 endangers Rira again, 096 defended her but Mach still unaware of his true intentions, attacked both Roidmudes. He flies away after Kiriko and the Shift Cars attacked him. He poisoned the real Koichi and later attacked her manager until Mach showed up. Before he met his demise, Rira, under the assumption of 096 is Hiroki, held Mach off long enough for him to escape. The next day, after Shinnosuke, Kiriko and Go revealed the truth, Roidmude 096 appeared and tried to dispose them to maintain the secret of Hiroki's death. He met his demise after both Riders perform Double Rider Kick, killing both his body and Core.
===Post-mortem===
The 108 Roidmudes' fragmented data would lead to the emergence of the amalgamation Roidmude 5886. 
==Personality==
Roidmude 096 tried to ensure Rira's safety and played as a protector like figure to make her assume him to be Hiroki. He would try to ensure that Hiroki's murder would remain secret and eliminate those who tried to discover it. He wields a cloak and has affinity for Tarot cards (due to trying to imitate Hiroki), as 096 left behind a "The Fool" card behind concerning his first target.

==Notes==
*He is the only Roidmude who has assumed a female human form to not be a Cobra Type Roidmude.
*True to their number, Roidmude 096 seemed to be a mirrored version of Roidmude 069 as the latter tried to assault Rira, the former tried to protect her. This may tie into 096's affinity for Tarot cards, as each Tarot card's meaning is slightly different depending if the card is either placed normally or in reverse.
*Along with 069, they were considered as rogue Roidmudes by Brain since they refuse to obey the upper Roidmude's orders.
**Given that most Roidmudes had their disgust and racism towards humans, 096's intention to protect Rira was likely to consume her desire for the murder of Hiroki Nikaido never took place, much like certain Roidmudes feed themselves on human desires. Yet his true agenda was to evolve in his own way, despite being labelled as rogue by Brain.
*096's talons would be reused for Reaper Legion Roidmudes 054 and 028.
