**Rey** is a minor antagonist of the Underworld Arc. He is a 23-year-old imp who is also the adopted younger brother of Kazuki Akai’s past life, Rouge Bellerose. He is the sole survivor of the Bellerose family massacre that took place 15 years before the events of the actual story. The reason why he didn’t end up like the rest of the mansion’s residents was due to Rey being the same child the Viscera Purgers’s mastermind Vincent Fowler had resurrected 2 years prior in an alley.

## Appearance

   Rey appears as a young male who possesses a petite yet lean build and bright blue eyes. He has bluish-gray skin with large droopy ears and a small tail, a dead give away to his imp blood. His unruly bust-length hair is a dull blonde color that features a silver tuft of hair protruding from the right side of his bangs. His fingers on his left hand look like those of a ball-jointed doll made from alabaster. Rey has visible scars going across the bridge of his nose and on the left side of his lip from the abuse he faced during his youth on the streets.

### Underworld Arc

For his main attire, Rey sports a dark magenta crop top with a triangle cut-out at the bottom and short gray sleeves that are adorned by a golden crown brooch at the collar. He keeps his whole left arm fully bandaged while his right arm is only partially. For his lower half, Rey is seen wearing gray shorts under a strange dark magenta skirt of some sort, all of which is held up by a large gold belt. His footwear is close to nonexistent as he chooses to wear only gold anklets.

### Lolita Ensemble

When Rey is asked out on a date by Neo, he puts on one of Oralee's outfit's which happened to be a pink lolita dress.

## Personality

Rey was said to have some behavioral issues as a child living in the Bellerose mansion but nonetheless, was a happy kid. He would get extremely hostile if you try to look at his hands unbandaged so he always preferred taking baths alone. Rey has a nervous tick where he would wring his hands.

Rey would always experience a terrible aching in his heart every time he would see Neo make advances towards his sister but would never voice out his discontent. After witnessing her being raped by Neo, Rey begins to emotionally abuse and torment her behind his master’s back. He reverts back to his old puerile self when around Rouge just to get under her skin as he believes that she’s just an imposter sent by the gods to test his willpower. In his mind, the real Rouge actually did die on that horrible night. Rey is often seen in Neo’s room brushing her hair and dolling her up for him. He’d do anything to make Neo happy even when knowing that he will never be the demon’s one and only.

## Abilities and Powers

* **Keen Sense of Smell:** Rey's strongest sense. It disgusted him how much Kazuki smelled similar to Rouge.
* **Breacher Palm:** Starting from his fingertips, Rey’s left palm would split and a sharp beam would shoot from it. He would have to keep recharging it.
* **Silver Bullet Breacher Palm:** The evolved version of his original Breacher Palm. It is able to critically wound those with healing factors as well as causing their healing process to decrease by tenfold in the long run.
* **Crystal Ball:** Rey learned the skill of crystal ball summoning from all the times he watched Neo do it. Rey's crystal ball appear much smaller than Neo's.

## Trivia

* Rey’s favorite food is macarons.
* Rey’s absolute favorite possession is the gold crown brooch on his collar which was given to him by Rouge. This brooch also alludes to his name Rey meaning “king” in Spanish.
* His original name was going to be Shiloh.

## Quotes

* (To Rouge) *“WHAAAAH! YOU’RE ALIVE! I MISSED YOU SO MUCH ROUGE!!”*
* (To Neo regarding Rouge) “She’s a complete shell of her former self. That kind, welcoming aura that was always with her is gone! Her body has become so cold… Neo please tell me what to do!”
