> Ren's last words before his death, Kamen Rider Proto Zero-One

**Ren Suzuki** was a Parent-Type Humagear created to raise the orphaned Azuma Suzuki and the creator of the Suzuki Zero-One Driver. Prior to the Daybreak Town Accident, he used the Protoriser to transform into **Kamen Rider Prototype**.

## History

### Background

The Humagear duplicate of Ren Suzuki was the surrogate father of Azuma Suzuki based on the man with the same name. The original Ren Suzuki passed away months after Azuma was born and Suzuki Intelligence produced him to serve as an emotional support to the young body. This Humagear also served as the primary technician for Satellite Veal prior to its inaugural launch.

### Creating The Rider of the Beginning

One day while on outing with Azuma, Ren learned his son's desire to make Ren smile, regardless if he was just a robot without feelings. Inspired by his son's passion, Ren endeavored to make others smile by developing weapons and gear using Satellite Veal. This led to development of the Protoriser and the Zetsumerisekeys, enabling Ren to become Kamen Rider Prototype. He continued to work on the prototypes for the Forcerisers and Zetsumerisers, which culminated in the creation of the Suzuki Zero-One Driver, which he designed to be able to protect both humans and Humagears.

While speaking with Haruto Suzuki's secretary Bill, his colleague posed the possibilities if Ren assuming the position of Suzuki Intelligence president in the event of Haruto's passing. However, Ren expressed his disinterest in the role. This coincided with Satellite Veal's A.I. showing signs of going rogue and becoming hostile toward humanity. Being able to resist its malefic influence, Ren established a connection with Veal and uploaded an program that caused the satellite to self-destruct to prevent the Humagears from being hijacked on a global scale.

Despite this victory, it was short-lived as Ren meets his demise during Daybreak Town Accident. While playing with Azuma, he shields Azuma from an explosion caused by Shiro Kido that occurred at the Suzuki Intelligence factory. Ren was damaged beyond repair and in his final moments, he assured his son to taking off towards his dreams. While modern Humagears can normally have their data backed up into a new Humagear body, Ren's data was linked to Satellite Veal, meaning that he can never be restored as his data was forever lost.

### Return

> When you were young, all you could do was cry. But right now, there is rage within your heart. That's because... you obtained the power of a Kamen Rider, and became stronger. But never forget... true strength isn't physical strength. It's the strength of the heart. You should be able to understand what that means now.

> Ren's pep-talk to Azuma., Kamen Rider Proto Zero-One

When Azuma up-linked himself to Zea for guidance via the Proto Zero-Two Progrisekey, before his fated showdown with Herobe, Ren appeared in front of him. Ren told Azuma that all his son could do was cry when he was young. As an adult, he had rage within his heart due to Mizu's death. Ren then gave one last lesson to Azuma that true strength wasn't physical power, but the strength of the heart. Understanding what his father's words meant, Azuma returned to reality and is granted a Suzuki Zero-One Driver that is completed.

## Personality

The Humagear version of Ren Suzuki was created to raise the orphaned Azuma Suzuki, serving as both a parent and emotional support. At first, Ren started off emotionless, initially believing that he was simply a robot with no feelings and wasn't worthy of being the next president of Suzuki Intelligence. During an outing with Azuma, he was surprised to hearing his son's dream to make Ren laugh and smile, developing a desire to fulfill his son's dreams via Singularity.

Although he was created to fill in the void of Azuma's real father, Ren truly cared for his son, and created the Zero-One system to protect both humans and Humagears for Azuma. His love for his son was strong enough to resist the Veal's malice and ultimately chose to sacrifice himself to protect the young boy during the Daybreak Town Accident. In his last words before shutting down, Ren told his son to leap towards his dreams.

Ren's role up to his shutdown ended up leaving an major impact for Azuma's life, becoming his motivation to make people, including Humagears, smile, and his pursuit to accomplish the dreams of others.
