## History

A human Cyborg and bodyguard of 12 Angels.

He worked as Koryuu escort since he was a child, and Koryuu sees him as the only person to trust within the organization. He is the strongest, member of the group and nobody comes even close to his skill in close combat, some even call him a demon as he is impossible to defeat in a fair fight.

As Koryuu became the boss of the group after her father's death, he became one of the executives. He has been since remodeled by various biotechnology, and with its superhuman strength and extraordinary toughness as weapons, he is well known. Feared as the assassin of 12 Angels, he alone is often enough to destroy entire organizations and protects Koryuu's production of their Future Drug "Milk".

In the year 2049, Shien, is seen first in the OVA prequel Rei Zero, he is the one providing intel of the rival group North Cartel to Koryuu. He assists Koryuu later in an attack, in which he is the one that shoots Joaquin Knight the boss of North Cartel. Shien also would have killed Rei afterward if he wasn't stopped on the whim of Koryuu.

In the year 2054, Shien assisted in the capture of the Section Seven agents Kirisawa Rei and Izumi Fuuko. His strength might have been even higher than Rei's, with their fight ending because both were drugged. He and other members of 12 Angels watched over the humiliation of the two agents, and he made sure they could not escape.

Able to survive almost anything, he seemed to had died in Special Agent Rei & Fuko's true ending. As he took a public train, with other members, his both and the two agents for further humiliation. They were surprised by Section Seven in a tunnel and hit by a rain of bullets, most of the team members dead or injured Shien guarded Koryuu with his life.

As agents arrived to save Rei and Fuko, Shien, he picked up his boss and escaped. On their run, both suffered from their injuries, but Shien's bullet wounds looked deadly. As he hoped to give Koryuu time to escape from Section Seven agents in pursuit, both split as Shien took them on himself, as he was bleeding out. While Koryuu, refused to leave at first, Shien reassured her, he would be back for her and to live no matter what.

Koryuu, returned to her base but was captured by her own men, which no longer feared her and considered the entire loss of agents, other crime. With 12 Angels failing and Koryuu captured and humiliated, he returned to free her in LILITH-IZM 07 Pet of My Own.

Fei Jiu, the second-strongest member of 12 Angels, wished to turn Koryuu into his pet, to strengthen his position and put her through torture and humiliation. While, most assumed that Shien had died, Koryuu remained steady in her believe that Shien would save her no matter what.

It is unclear how Shien survived, but a damaged Shien indeed returned. Though recovered somewhat, still much weaker than before. Fei saw a chance of victory and set his men after him, but Shien killed them, no matter what they did and as fear filled the criminals minds, they ran. Fei challenged Shien himself, convinced that as the number two, he could defeat an injured Shien. However, he was knocked out with little effort of Shien. Not caring to kill Fei, Shien freed Koryuu, and gave her new clothes as well as a weapon. Koryuu killed Fei, and thanked Shien deeply for her rescue.

Both continued to rebuild 12 Angels, as their old bases had been destroyed by Section Seven in their absents.

Kotaro later on is able to defeat Shien with the help of Futaba Lily Ramses, which was on her own quest to rescue Tachibana Ichiro, which was used in the experiments of 12 Angels.
