## Personality

Rei is an orphan and was taken in by the former Silver Fang, Douji, as his successor. Although raised and trained as a Makai Knight, Rei had a good life as he lived in a luxurious mansion and engaged to be married to his beloved Shizuka; Douji had concerns that Rei didn't have what it takes to be a full fledged knight due to his kind and gentle nature. However, that would dramatically change after Douji and Shizuka was murdered by a mysterious knight that greatly resembled Garo. Driven by sadness, rage, and vengeance, his turn to the dark side ironically gave him the conviction and combative quality Douji hoped he would acquire.

Without the people that mattered most to him, Rei prefers to be called Zero as he feels the person who he once was is gone and his personal identity no longer mattered. While parts of his better nature still existed, he was too driven by his unsatiated rage to be reliable and trusted in his duties as a knight and as a person. Because his only clue to the death of his loved ones was Garo, Rei was convinced that Kouga had something to do with his family's death and often clashed with Kouga in his professional and personal life. Only after he finally learned the true killer was Dark Knight Kiba that Rei reconciled with Kouga to help defeat him. After the death of Kiba, Rei got closure and he became a gentler person once more. However, after such personal loss, he decided to limit his bonds to avoid the pain of losing people he cared for; he never got himself involved with personal relationships anymore nor took on a disciple, leading a lone-wolf path.

An aspect of his overall character that didn't change is his flirtatious and child-like nature. Originally not a lover of sweets, he once saved the daughter of a baker and rewarded him with delicious cakes. He has since developed a profound love for sweets and its one of the rare things he takes joy out of life, giving him a reason to smile. He also has a particular soft spot for women, often treating them better than men, complimenting on their beauty and making suggestive chatter; he never went beyond just talk due to his lone-wolf nature. With Silva as his only partner in life, he even flirts with his magical tool as she is the only constant thing to keep him company. Eventually though, Rei learned to have friends and build better relationships with people to enhance his life.

During that time he is also very protective of his beloved ones such as his wife Azuma and his daughter Homura as he knows that Homura will go down the path of Taimanin instead and he was proud of Homura as his successor revealing his side as kind and loving father. He also have the sarcastic sense of humor when it comes to toying with either Horrors or Edwin Black's minions

## Abilities

* **Makai Knight Training**: Dōji privately trained Rei to be highly proficient in combat. His combat skills only became higher after developing a lifelong rivalry with Garo the Golden Knight. While never clamoring for glory, his history with Garo and the Horrors he has defeated gained him notoriety and he's considered the 2nd strongest or equally as strong as Garo within the makai community of his era.
* **Poison Resistance**: Rei was trained to be resistant to various poisons as part of his training, more than his peers owing to his occasional use of Haja Daggers until the equipment got confiscated in the light of troubles he caused on Kouga. He has built such a tolerance that he would only experience minor discomfort after drinking a lethal dose that would kill a normal person.
* **French**: Before becoming a knight, Rei had a good education and picked up French as evident when he spoke to Ring in French.

## Equipment

* **Ginroken** (銀狼剣, *Ginrōken*, Silver Wolf Swords): Rei wields a pair of short Makai Blades, As a dual-sword user, Rei relies on speed and his agility to take down targets. In its dormant form, the blades are short straight swords. However, the blades can act as grappling hooks as the handle can separate from the blade, held together with a high-tension wire. It is often used to gain height distance to strike down a target, but also to close the distance in sword combat. When Rei dons his armor, the swords take the form of dual sabers that resemble scimitars. These can be locked together to form a huge crescent-shaped double-bladed staff sword called the **Ginga Ginroken (銀牙銀狼剣, *Ginga Ginrōken*, Silver Fanged Silver Wolf Sword)**. It can be thrown and used as a massive boomerang and Rei often uses it to distract his opponent for an opportune moment to strike.
* **Zero Armor**: Rei's Makai Armor, inherited from his father after his death.
	+ **Ginga**: Zero's Madōba.

* **Silva**: Rei's Madōgu, the sentient necklace is his closest friend and companion in his life.

* **Evil-Crushing Dagger**: Rei once using this assassination weapon against Kouga Saejima under suspicion of killing his family. However, he never used this weapon afterwards, presumably confiscated by Makai Order for breaking rules. He later was returned this weapon for meaning to combat horrors that threaten the life beings.
