## Plot Overview

### Past

Rumcoke was presumably born into an abusive family family as Rumcoke was willing to kill them for a piece of bread and home to stay when he was 11-year-old, under the orders of an unknown man (presumably the head of Sambuca). However, the condition to stay in that home was that you had to prove your strength by fighting. If you lost, you would be dragged away. He, along with the 15,000 abducted children, were tested with S-02 as a way to collect data to improve SSS, as it was discovered that the drug responded particularly well to children under the age of 15.

He grew up together with Nocturne, Campari, Bordeaux, and Vivi.

### Final Fight

In the very end, he Campari, and Bordeaux had a change of heart and killed their boss.
