**Riki Lucifer** is the twin brother of Vali Lucifer as well as a descendant of the original Lucifer and the leader of the Riki Team that is affiliated with the Grigori as well as the leader of the New Satan Faction. He is the wielder of the Longinus; **Boosted Gear**, being the possessor of the Welsh Dragon, **Ddraig**. As such, he is the direct rival of his twin Vali Lucifer and Albion.

He is the husband of Penemue and the father of Evelynn Lucifer.

## **Appearance**

Riki is a handsome young man with slightly similar features to his twin brother with light sliver hair and blue eyes.

When Riki started Kuoh Academy, he had dyed his hair black.

His casual attire consists of a black leather jacket over a red shirt, black pants which has a black chain attached to it, and black shoes. As with other Devils, Riki has black bat-like wings on his back. However, unlike other Devils, he possesses a total of eight. Riki also bears a great resemblance to his grandfather, Rizevim Livan Lucifer.

## **Personality**

Azazel states that both Riki and Vali's personalities are nearly similar, however, Riki is known to be friendly and easier to deal with compared to Vali. Due to his love for Penemue, it is noted to be unconditional and second only to Vali, to the point Azazel teases him about marrying her.

He contemplates having a polyamorous relationship due to Penemue's suggestion. Riki is stated to be a battle maniac like his brother but to a lesser extent than him. However, Riki is completely ruthless when someone hurts his team and Peneume but he is very protective of his mother and half-siblings.

Riki distrusts the Great King Faction and Devils due to them seeing him as nothing more than the great-grandson of the Original Lucifer instead of a normal person. However, despite this he wants to know more about the Lucifer Clan and unifying the Four Satan Clans (Beelzebub, Leviathan and Asmodeus) to improve the Underworld.

Riki cares very deeply for Vali wanting nothing more than for him to be happy. As kids, Riki would always comfort Vali after the abuse they get from Razevan, despite his injuries this developed into becoming second nature which Vali notes. Like Vali, Riki has an immense amount of hatred towards Rizivem if not more getting angry whenever his name is mentioned in front of him. When he heard that Razevan was killed he felt nothing as he didn't care whether Razevan lived or died.

When Riki found out that Penemue was pregnant he was really happy as he wanted send time with her.

Riki states that he would have enjoyed fighting Apophis to his heart's content under better circumstances.

## **History**

He and Vali was born as the son of Razevan, the son of Rizevim, and a human woman, making him a half-breed. Once it was revealed that he and Vali bore one of the Longinus, Boosted Gear and Divine Dividing, in addition to the power inherited from their great-grandfather, the original Lucifer, their father soon developed an inferiority complex toward his sons who he viewed as monsters for holding those two powers. Because of the advice from Rizevim, Razevan started to bully and physically abuse Vali and Riki for their powers if he was so scared of them.

Although he received physical abuse from his father, he was loved by his human mother who would treat to his wounds, attempt to protect him, and fed him whatever she could even if it was pasta, which became his favorite despite the bland taste. Both Riki and Vali soon ran away from home before being found by Azazel, who brought them in and raised them in Grigori, teaching them about both their Longinus and demonic powers with the intention of killing both his father and grandfather for their abuse through their childhood.

At 13-years-old, he started living with the members of the Slash/Dog Team, which included Tobio and Lavinia. During that time he met the Dhampir, Moka Akashiya during a mission in Romania.

At some point in the past, Riki ended up meeting and Kriemhild, a Demonic Sword wielder, Kaito and Eli, a Dragon/Human hybrid, the four of who became part of his team, in the Grigori.

**Immense Demonic Power:** As the original Lucifer's great-grandson, he has vast demonic power, and talent superior to other Satan descendants. Azazel stated that if his power was combined with Boosted Gear, Riki could become one of the strongest beings, and the strongest Red Dragon Emperor of all time, past, present, and future only being match by Vali. His demonic power lets him control Juggernaut Drive, using it as an alternative source before gaining its new form. In fact, Riki survived Samael's curse, although both Sun Wukong and Bikou's powers were needed to heal him. In D×D Lucifer, his demonic power alone could obliterate a 5,000 meter mountain using one blast and fight Apophis, who reached the Heavenly Dragons in power.

**Immense Stamina:** He has tremendous stamina and endurance, being capable of maintaining his Scale Mail for one month, then endured being wounded by Fenrir, then activated his Juggernaut Drive.

In Volume 24, Vali could continue fighting against Vasco even after the latter returned to his physical prime, then fought against Crom Cruach, the Strongest Evil Dragon, on even terms.

## **Equipment**

**Boosted Gear** (, *Būsuteddo Gia*): Riki's Sacred Gear and main weapon, among all the original 13 Longinus, which holds the Welsh Dragon, Ddraig's soul, making it a Mid-Tier Longinus. A left-handed red gauntlet that doubles his powers every 10 seconds until he reach his limit, letting him rival High-Class Devils, holding the potential to kill god if mastered. He later gained the ability to **Transfer** the multiplied power into a person or item, even parts like his eyes for enhanced vision. Issei later awakened **Penetrate**, letting him bypass all defenses like Rizevim's Sacred Gear Canceler, letting his attacks make contact; transferred into his eyes lets him see through anything, even woman's clothing.

* **Boosted Gear: Scale Mail** (, *Būsuteddo Gia: Sukeiru Meiru*): Boosted Gear's Balance Breaker creates a red dragon armor, which became his main combat form. Issei activated an imprefect version twice; the first time via a sacrifice lasting 10 sec; then again using a bracelet from Azazel, lasting 15 min. He achieved a perfected one from Tannin's training, but reached it from poking Rias' breasts to trigger it. In Scale Mail, Issei is strengthened to the point of erasing a mountain and Kuroka's spatial barrier using a basic blast; and can use **Boost** without the limiter. At first, he could use his boosters for enhanced speed and temp. flight; then gained retractable wings after using Juggernaut Drive, as well as its using the Pteranodon-like claws as arms.

* **Juggernaut Drive** (, *Jagānōto Doraivu*): A form unique to Boosted Gear and Divine Dividing, which releases the seals placed on the Heavenly Dragons temporarily granting the user immense power rivaling God, however, at the cost of his sanity and lifespan. However, Riki and by extension Vali is able to avoid this using his large amount of demonic powers as an alternative source of power instead of his lifespan; however, if used for extended periods of time, it will eventually cause him to go berserk. Even after deactivation, Riki suffered from immense exhaustion.
* Issei indirectly activates an incomplete Juggernaut Drive, after believing that Asia was killed by Shalba with his negative emotions overpowering him thus triggering its activation. In this state, his Scale Mail becomes more organic appearing, like a miniature dragon, creating dragon arms and blades from the gems. Issei's immense power and speed allowed him to completely overpower Shalba, which makes his movements almost impossible to follow.

* **Cardinal Crimson Promotion** (, *Kādinaru Kurimuzon Puromōshon*): The Scale Mail's Queen form that is achieved by gaining the "True Queen". This form changes the color of Issei's Scale Mail armor from red to crimson. Cardinal Crimson Promotion incorporates all three Evil Pieces traits, making it the most balanced and most powerful form of Issei's Scale Mail. In this form, Issei is capable of using enhanced versions of the Illegal Move Triaina's abilities. This form, however, is still unstable and requires mastering the three forms of Illegal Move Triaina to stabilize its powers. Issei can now enter True Queen without having to chant, and due to Diabolos Dragon God, its power has been increased.[54]
	+ **Longinus Smasher:** Issei gains access to this ability when the Red Wyverns used **Boost** on him while in this form. An ability initially available to Juggernaut Drive that from the chest appears a launcher that fires a powerfully destructive beam. This, however, leaves strong fatigue on Issei as it drains a lot of his stamina and depending on how one uses it, it can change the environment. Due to its immense power, this ability has a very long recharge period, lasting at least a month.

* **Diabolos Dragon God** (－『』・－, *Diaborosu Doragon Goddo*): An upgraded form, caused from releasing Ophis' power, possible because his new body was created through Great Red's flesh. This changing his Scale Mail into crimson and black, with two pairs of dragon wings, and [∞] on all his gems. It changes **Boost** to **D∞D**, overpowering Rizevim, and was even able to overcome his Sacred Gear Canceller by using the power of infinite. However, Issei can only sustain it for a short period, after which he suffers both severe pain and complications that make death pale in comparison. After the Evil Dragon War, Ophis adjusted it, removing the "Infinite", renaming it *Pseudo-Dragon Deification*; lessening its original power, but could maintain it anywhere from 10 seconds to 3 minutes depending on exertion, such as using it to attack or defend. Drinking the simplified Amritra, a godly drink, allowed him to maintain it for 88 minutes. After Issei recovered his sexual desires, he then unlocked the *True-Dragon Deification*, after Great Red's flesh resonated, causing him to awaken the "infinite", then defeated Angra Mainyu. In this state, Hades is noted as stating Issei's power was much greater than Pseudo-Diabolos Dragon, with the aura of a Devil, Dragon, and God mixed in.
	+ **Infinity Blaster** (インフィニティ・ブラスター, *Infiniti Burasutā*): A further enhanced version of Crimson Blaster, the wings contain cannons that shoot out a powerful blast of red and black aura that leaves even Rizevim injured to an extent that his body is almost fatally damaged. By using it, DxD G's time limit of three minutes is cut down to ten seconds. After drinking miracle drug Amrita, Issei has overcome this weakness and can maintain his armor after shooting Infinity Blaster.
	+ **Longinus Smasher** (ロンギヌス・スマッシャー, *Ronginusu Sumasshā*): The form is not only capable of this move, but the blast it shoots out has been enhanced with the power of infinity, delivering further damage. It can also be used in tandem with the Infinity Blaster, fusing the two blasts into an even more powerful attack.
	+ **Blazing Inferno of Scorching Flames** (, *Itsu Eki no Enka*): An ability that was sealed by the God of the Bible, which Issei managed to unlock upon using his DxD form for the second time in Vol 21. Issei releases a powerful breath of fire that can incinerate anything, flames that never go out once ignited as they continue to burn even after being reduced to ashes and can probably burn the soul until nothing remains. The only existences known to be immune to these flames are Albion, Ophis, and Great Red. Its area of effect can cover an entire island.
	+ **Partial Pseudo-Dragon Deification** (部分龍神化, *Bubun Ryūjin-ka*): In Vol 23, Issei can perform a partial Pseudo-Dragon Deification on his armor, letting him channel his dragon god aura to some extent, but still lessens the stamina consumption. He could channel it into his left arm, letting him strengthen his various techniques such as Dress Break, Solid Impact Booster, and Dragon Shot; through transforming his wings using this allows him to move at greater speed.
	+ **Red Dragon Emperor Ddraig Manifestation** (赤龍帝ドライグ顕現, *Sekiryūtei Doraigu Kengen*): Riki gained the ability to summon Ddraig.

**Ascalon** (アスカロン, *Asukaron*): Riki's second weapon, received from Michael, having been through a ritual by the Three Factions' leaders so he could wield it despite not having the light attribute, and being a dragon host. It was stored in Boosted Gear, letting him extent Ascalon from the gauntlet, and being imbued with Ddraig's power, resulting in an enormous boost in power. Not being a swordsman himself, Issei often channels its dragon slaying powers into his punches, making it easier to harm dragons, and could infuse it into his Crimson Blaster. He could endow Ascalon with **Boost** and **Penetrate**, the effects lasting even after launching it as a projectile at Vidar.

**Ascalon II** (アスカロンII, *Asukaron II*): The second version of Ascalon. A long sword that releases holy aura, but is more of a dragon sword rather than a Holy Sword. Issei keeps this sword within his right gauntlet that was free.
