Ren Fuji was created by Mercurius, intended to be his substitute, along with one of the main pieces of the Transmutation of Gold -- to be the one who fights against the Knights.

## **Lotus**

*Main article: Lotus*

He was once known as Lotus, a Japanese Soldier in World War II that during service became close friends with Michael.

He died alongside Michael during *Operation Totalize* on August 8th, 1944. Both killed in an ambush by Allied Tanks, and had his Soul collected by Mercurius, and made into his Relic, Zarathustra Ubermench.

### **Nihil Dificil Amanti**

In Nihil Dificil Amanti, an alternative timeline, he and Anna Schwägelin bore a child, and, as per the request of Lotus, she brought said child to Japan.

Multiple generations had passed, and Ren Fuji was born as her Great-Grandchild.

## **Ren Fuji**

Ren Fujii was created by Karl Ernst Krafft, also known as Mercurius, as his substitute, who would fill seat XIII of the Obsidian Round Table in his place during the battle ithe Eastern Shambhala, Suwahara City, which would see the resurrection of Reinhard Heydrich and the erasure of the world of Eternal Recurrence, which the Golden Beast plans to wash away with his own world.

As his substitute, Zarathustra (Ren's magic name and identification within the LDO) would serve (capitalizing in the hatred the rest of the Beast's Fangs feel against Mercurius) as the opponent they'd have to face once they arrived to the city, in order to open the eight Swastika scattered over the city, as mere bloodshed won't serve to complete the Transmutation of Gold as needed. Therefore, true battles would be needed and, as long as a majority of the Swastika open due to battling and not one sided massacres, the Longinus Dreizehn Orden's goals will be fulfilled. This role exists alongside another; to be Reinhard's promised opponent, who would truly push him to his limits, so he could fulfill his wish of fighting with his full strength against an adversary that can withstand it, and that opponent that will take the shape of his sworn friend substitute, upon reaching the peak of its powers.

Ren's birth took place at the exact time the Obsidian Round Table's seats were filled. He's the other half of the being that came to be known as Machina, using Lotus Reichhart's soul as the basis for his consciousness, and later fused with Mercurius' blood. This way, not only did Ren have the potential to achieve Godhood, but he also effectively became Mercurius' shadow, his very own Ahnenerbe.

Despite being created so many years prior to the story's start, it still took long for Ren to gain awareness, and more so to reach a point in which he could serve his purpose. For that reason, he was entrusted to a descendant of members of ODESSA in Japan, organization that helped Nazis to escape persecution. A man, named Kouzou Ayase, responsable for caring of a Ren conscious, claimed that Ren's parents had died in an accident and, given they were his dearest friends, he was tasked to be his adoptive father. The infant Ren, despite harboring doubts about having parents at all, believed Mr Ayase. He got into the Ayase family, made of the man, his wife and their daughter, Kasumi, as if he were one of their own. It is during these peaceful years with the Ayase family that he met his best friend, Shirou Yusa.

However, the bliss of a happy family life did not last. One day, in 1995 (back when Ren and Shirou were only 6 years old), Shirou murdered Mr. Ayase, with Ren helping in covering the crime up. Though Mr. Ayase died from being stabbed in the neck, courtesy of Shirou, they managed to hide the corpse for a time and, after that, mask his death as a complete accident, making it seems as if he had fallen upon one of the blades he kept at home. Being two childrens, no one would suspecting both were murderers, of course. Furthermore, the discovery of a torture room in the man's basement further cemented him as not being a completely innocent man. Kasumi and her mother remained unaware of Ren and Shirou's involvement.

Ren, Kasumi and Shirou moved together to Suwahara City two years prior to the start of the main story. They lived in the same apartment block, Ren's apartment being in between Shirou and Kasumi's. Apparently, Kasumi's mom wouldn't let her move if they didn't live in the same building. Shirou didn't waste a second a brought down the wall between his and Ren's apartment using a hammer, so he could access it quickly.

However, in 2006, two months before the story begins, Ren and Shirou have a brutal fistfight in Tsukinosawa High's rooftop. Shirou, claiming that he is tired of their boring, daily life, and wants to play with all variables available to him, plans to tell Kasumi about the truth of her father's murder. And Ren, unwilling to let his best friend ruin his daily life, begins with the fight.

In the aftermath, this fight, Rea Himuro, a senior and whom the group had struck a solid friendship with since they arrived in Suwahara City, found them bloodied and beaten on the rooftop, and immediately called an ambulance to take them both to the hospital, as both bodies have suffered many injuries.

### **Dies Irae~Common Route**

#### **Chapter 1: L'Infant de la Punition**

After being released from the hospital, he ran into Kasumi, and was forced on a "date" to the museum.

There was a Blade Exhibition, which made him uncomfortable, though one thing particularly caught his interest: a peculiar Guillotine. Upon seeing it, he began having dreams of a mysterious girl, and later, of killing various people.

These dreams coincided with various murders in Suwahara City, where the victims were found decapitated.

It was with this that he was pulled into a new world, that of Gods and Superhumans, now caught up in the machinations of the Longinus Dreizehn Orden.

#### **Chapter 6: King of Hollow**

He was called to a Night Club, the Bottomless Pit , by someone who turned out to be Shirou Yusa, the friend that he had not seen, or even heard of, since they fought.
