Rain Wynter/History

## Story

*"Not much is known about his past life and how he is such a great fighter. The reason why the Ender Watchers chose him as the Dragon Tamer is still left to speculation." - Rainimator Lorebook*

### History

Before The Struggle, Rain was living a simple life in the peaceful village of Glacierford alongside Abigail Crysteffor and the other residents.

While he was still young, he later spied on Vanessa Crysteffor, Abigail's mother gifting her daughter a Nether Star and saw her mother disappear through a Nether Portal. He then questioned what Vanessa gave to Abigail, to which she replied that it was a Nether Star.

During this time, they both fell in love each other and would train together, as well playing outside, like having snowball fights and building a snowman.

## Fractures

### Season 1 - Herobrine's Revenge

#### *The Struggle*

One day, he was informed by Abigail when a villager named Oscar defeated a zombie that had tried to attack their village, but received a very concerning bite in the process, with Rain and Abigail then hurrying to the scene. The same event was re-depicted in 1 of a Kind, their friend Robin rushing towards them.

At nightfall, Oscar became an infected zombie himself and started violently infecting people in the village, while Herobrine's horde attacked, starting the Outbreak at Glacierford. During this time, Rain, Abigail Crysteffor and several other survivors fled the village through the wall, escaping the zombies. They attempted to outrun the zombies through the vast taiga, however Herobrine's army eventually caught up to them the next night after setting up camp.

While the other survivors fought the zombies, Rain engaged in a duel with Herobrine, although Herobrine teleported when at the brink of death. With the rest of the survivors killed, Rain and Abigail attempt to cross a bridge, but a creeper explodes and separates them one on each side of the bridge. Fighting off the zombies in an attempt to buy Abigail time, Abigail is petrified as he is zombified and killed.

#### *Cold as Ice*

In Cold as Ice, Rain's body is recovered when Ser Patrick and Daryll the Bandit of the Frostbourne cross into the area to wipe out the remaining Undead. After feeding him a paralyzing potion, they return to their base, the Frostbourne Castle on horseback, carrying his body.

   At the Frostbourne Castle, Rain is revived and cured by Lady Azura, one eye turning red in the process, and joins the Frostbourne. He starts training and is eventually given an Ice Armorset and an ice sword. The Ender Watchers later laid siege to the Frostbourne Castle with their army and the Ender Dragon, but a short-lived war ceased after Rain teleported to the End with an ender pearl and tamed The Dragon, forging an alliance.

#### *We Are the Danger*

Shortly after in We Are the Danger, Rain stormed an Undead-claimed Glacierford aback the Ender Dragon, launching an ambush with the Dragon's fire breath while the army charged; he attempted to scorch Herobrine before he could escape, ultimately failing. He soon settled at a reclaimed Glacierford with The Dragon and the Frostbourne, the Dragon keeping watch on his behalf.

When Herobrine and their new ally the Nether Horde launch a counterattack, Rain reencounters Abigail, now the emotionless, brainwashed Nether Princess, amidst the chaos, who unhesitatingly attacks Rain, disarming him.

    Unwilling to hurt his former lover, Rain attempts to evade her incredible speed, instead immobilizing her using Cryomancy before fleeing the battle on the Dragon, emotionally damaged by the revelation.

His desertion of the fight was seen as dishonorable by Ender Watchers', causing them to promptly relinquish control of the Ender Dragon. Rain subsequently deserted the Ender Watchers following this decision.

#### *Just So You Know*

Following up in Just So You Know, Rain bursts into Lady Azura's laboratory, expressing his desire to escape his sadness. He wallows in his grief, reflecting on the times alongside Abigail in his youth, when his thirst for vengeance suddenly overwhelms his rationality.

Stealing one of Azura's prototype rifles and dual diamond swords, he begins a skirmish against the Pig King and storms the Nether Fort, massacring the guards and killing Scorch, before challenging Glutton at the next level.

    Rain's reckless, rage-driven attacks lead for him to be severely injured by Glutton, before Rain decapitates him. Abigail then approaches, to which Rain sheds a tear before the two charge at each other, Abigail easily besting him due to his weakened state. As she lands a devastating blow to his heart, Rain is able to kill her by stabbing her through the neck, before he collapses from the pain beside her.

At some point, Naeus revived him, but not without receiving the Wither Heart Curse.

Inside the Nether Fort, after ridding some pigmen, he then later meets Naeus, who informs him that not only did he slayed the Pig King, but also the Nether Princess. Rain asks who he is and what he wants. Naeus states that he does not want to fight him, but offer him an alliance. Rain questions what he means. Naeus says that Rain is one of the undead, and that he is no longer a human. He states that Rain did a favor; ridding the pigmen off the fortress.

Rain rebuffs saying that he only did it out of self-defense, and that he just wants to go back home, while claiming that he will never be like the Nether Princess, and that he's tired of war, stating that the Undead, the Nether, and the End are all the same: each of them taking turns attacking innocent villages in the Overworld. He then has a breakdown that they've brought nothing but destruction.

Naeus claims that like Rain, he also wants peace, and offers him to be his *Nether Prince*. Rain angrily refuses and tells Naeus that he doesn't care if the pigmen and the withers are destroying each other, and later runs off in the opposite direction.

### Season 2 - The Last Ender Watcher

#### *Wings of Salvation*

Rain makes an appearance in Wings of Salvation. He is shown to be fighting off multiple Pigmen in his weakened, near-dead state, until Azura flies in and easily clears the incoming Wither Skeletons with her guns. Azura quickly runs out of ammunition for her weapons, and is forced to flee with Rain through a Nether Portal and back to the Frostbourne Castle, Rain unconscious in her arms.

#### *Wither Heart*

    In Wither Heart, it is revealed that Rain has contracted a Wither Heart Curse, received from when Abigail stabbed him in the heart. Stella, after a heated argument with Ser Patrick, goes with Rain to the Mystic Forest to find the cure (a Wither Book) at her hometown, the Coven Village. They travel through several different biomes and ruins left from the Undead reign, and as night falls set up camp. The peace is not kept for long as Rain and Stella are forced to fight off the scattered Undead that try to attack them. Rain's withering growing to the point where his left eye has reverted to the state it was during his time as a zombie.

The withering continues to grow to a point where, as they get near the village, Rain becomes immobilized, collapsing to the ground and forcing Stella to go on alone. After encountering and defeating Infernius, Stella finds the Wither Book, which she uses to cure Rain's sickness. Upon reawakening, she embraces him, much to Rain's shock.

#### *Ender Wish*

In the end scene of Ender Wish, Rain and Stella are seen to still be at the Coven Village reading the Wither Book, until they observe a beacon of light from an Ender Chest. They quickly run over to it and find a wounded Zeganirn lying beside it.

#### *Wishing Dead*

In Wishing Dead, Rain and Stella are on a boat arguing about whether they should or should not fight alongside Zeganirn. The argument is won when Rain says that they’ll carry the torch of the Ender Watchers together. Later, Rain is leading Stella through a forest, which morphs into the Tundra Cliffs. They set up camp in a clearing, however the peace does not last long.

    Djinn, having survived against Zeganirn, sneaks up on them, and attempts to kill both of them by throwing knives covered in demon poison. A knife struck Stella in the stomach, which puts her in a coma. Rain hit the other knife out of the air with his sword before realizing what had happened. Rain, in fury, raises the Ender Greatsword and meets Djinn head on. When Rain attempts to cleave Djinn, he misses, which leaves Djinn the opportunity to slash Rain‘s left eye. Rain furiously retorts to melee, kicking Djinn into a tree before bashing him against said tree. He stabs one of the knives into Djinn's eye and kicks him down, which is when his left eye opens to reveal it has adopted an appearance similar to that of Ceris's eyes. As Djinn turns around, Rain swings the Greatsword and decapitates him.
The morning after the battle, Rain pulls out and examines the dagger that hit Stella, with his left eye reverted back to the way it was before the battle. He proceeds to carry Stella on his back and walks through the snowy taiga to a cliffside. Stella awakens and flails, sending Rain tumbling. When he awakens, Stella has been overtaken by the Demon Curse, now possessing fangs and horns.

    Rain's face reflects his sorrow before Stella attacks him in a feral manner. He is able to dodge her first attack and blocks her latter three, reluctant to fight her in this state. Stella, seeming to take note of this hesitance, punches Rain in the gut before unleashing a barrage of incendiary attacks, sending him backwards. With no other options, Rain calls the Wither Book to hand, and fires a spell on Stella. He is met by an ear splitting shriek as Stella's humanity is forced back into her. When the screaming stops, Rain doesn't have time to react before he is punched into a tree, losing consciousness. When Rain regains consciousness, Stella had fled, having her humanity fully restored, and his left eye was now back in its Ender form.

#### *Falling*

In Falling, after witnessing Kane shoot Stella as she runs, Rain punches Kane and starts a fight. As he knocks Kane to the ground for the first time, he narrowly dodges a karambit from Ciara, and watches her run after Stella. Kane gets back up and the two re-engage, but Rain once again wins, showing sportsmanship as he helps Kane up. The two then pursue the girls.

Rain and Kane find Ciara with a second iteration arcane blade pinning her to a tree at the camp Rain and Stella had shared. Rain quickly uses the Wither Book to free her, and they go to attempt to locate Stella.

    As they near the Coven Village, the three witness the beacons from the End Chests lighting up the sky, and hurry to the village. There, they see Stella mourning Zeganirn, causing Rain to run to her, shouting her name as Kane halts Ciara from pursuing. It takes Stella a moment to recognize his voice, but when she does, she turns to look at Rain in surprise, her eyes restored to their normal form.

#### *Cold as Ice: The Remake*

In Cold as Ice: The Remake, when Naeus decapitates Ceris, Rain gasps and appears shocked and fearful, both eyes opened revealing his Ender Eye. As Kane, Ciara and Stella turn to him in confusion, he expresses fear for the first time to the group, presumably informing them of the Matriarch's fate.

### Season 3 - Endstone Crusaders

#### *Be Afraid*

In Be Afraid, Rain helps Kane pack their things from their camp before journeying to the Frostbourne. Later, he, along with Stella and Ciara listened to Kane when he talks about how the Nether Horde has started their conquest on the Overworld before departing to the Netherbane Tavern.

In the Netherbane Tavern, Rain and Kane took two drinks.

Next morning when all Endstone Crusaders looked at their horses, Rain is shown to be disappointed that he gets a leather-armored horse while Kane gets the golden-armored horse.

They travel through the land until they reached a Nether outpost. Rain, on his horse, easily kills two pigmens with the Ender Greatsword, before continuing on.

When they set up camp, Rain has roasted marshmallows and eats one before offering one to Stella. Rain with rest of Endstone Crusaders continue to travel until they reach the Frostbourne Castle.

When they arrive at Glacierford, Rain looks back with a worried expression as the gate closes, being reminded of the time when Abigail Crysteffor almost nearly didn't make it through. He looks around to see that the Elytra Corps are building a new airship. As he get off his horse, Rain, Ciara and Kane wonder where Stella has gone off to.

When Rain meets with Ser Patrick, he receives a punch in the face, though he helps him up again.

When Stella tells Ser Patrick about how they have to find the End Crystals, Rain become confused why Ceris scattered the crystals across the Overworld, as she could've just given them to him. Kane explains that the reason why she didn't was because she knew that King Naeus would assume she would give the crystals to Rain. As Stella questions what they're supposed to do, as Zeganirn never told her about the crystals locations, Rain too also questions on where to begin looking for them. Just at that moment, Lance, in the form of the Ender Frog, hears everything, and tells the Endstone Crusaders and Ser Patrick about how the End used to be a great empire. Rain looks back and is confused of who is talking.

#### *Eternal*

In Eternal, Rain listened to Kane who's describes their plan to obtain an End Crystal guarded by the Piglin King. After Stella's question, and Kane's explaination, Rain realizes that if their kingdom falls, it will cripple the Nether supply lines, thus slowing down their invasion and give the Frostbourne an advantage in the war. Rain later listens to Ciara arguing with Kane on taking the Piglin King. When she later mentions the Nether Princess, he is suddenly shocked upon hearing her name again.

Later, Kane shows Rain a golden flintlock, before the squad goes over the plan again, and go to the Frostbourne Tundra where Stella creates a Nether Portal. They travel to the Piglin Bastion, where a small army of piglins and pigmen are waiting for them. Rain and the rest of the Endstone Crusaders later then slaughter all of them.

The group quickly makes their way to the Piglin Castle, passing a small village. When Ciara charged inside the castle, Rain and Stella want to go with her, but Kane stops them. As the gate closes shut, Rain, Kane, and Stella realize that the hut they passed housed a Mutated Piglin, and that the Zoglin they encountered earlier led him right to them. Rain, Stella, and Kane, after also having difficulties, regrouped, and worked together to take down the monstrous piglin.

#### *Clear Skies*

In Clear Skies, Rain and Ciara are in the Frostbourne Tavern having drinks. Ciara questions if the Nether Princess was his girlfriend. Rain, surprised as the thought came out of nowhere, states that he does not want to talk about it, as he claims that he's already moved on. Ciara starts to agitate him even further, then suggests to him that he can go after Stella. Rain, surprised, mistakenly spits out that he hasn't moved on from Abigail's death. Realizing that he's not tricking her, he admits that he's conflicted and does not know what to do. Ciara offers him advice, and that is to go through every memory with the Nether Princess one last time in order to free himself from the past.

Rain then later comes out of the tavern and angrily pushes Stella out of the way, telling her to leave him alone.

As Rain sits at a nearby river, he reflects on the time when he and Abigail were kids. As he walks through the Frostbourne territory, he sees hallucinations of Abigail and starts to get infuriated.

By the time Rain reflects the last memory of her, he says to her that although she had to go through a death that she did not deserve, he still knows that she's now in a better place, and that they can both finally be at peace. Abigail and Rain hug one last time, and after she disintegrates, he then snaps out.

With him finally moved on, he goes to see Stella and apologizes to her for pushing her earlier. Although at first Stella seems angry, she still forgives him and lays her head on her shoulder. Ciara, watching from afar, sees Rain waving at her, and nods to him for his accomplishment.

#### *Back into Darkness*

Rain makes a cameo appearance in Back into Darkness. He, along with the rest of the Endstone Crusaders located the last End Crystals with the help of Nostra, Azura, and Lance. He is then later seen with Stella next to him, sleeping while he's pondering about what will happen next.

#### Preach to the Choir

At the beginning of the episode Rain and Stella was listening to Nostra's explanation about Wardens. When they asked the two if they have any questions, Rain asked why the Wardens need the End Crystal, as it's not even from their homeland. Instead of Nostra answering, Stella explained a possible way why Ceris put this crystal here, to find if Rain is worthy to be the Last Ender Watcher. When Stella finished, Nostra started to laugh, and asked if Rain Wynter found himself worthy.

The Dragon Tamer, Enchantress and Occult Doctor enter the Lush Caves. While they were walking to the Deep Dark, Azalea comes out of hiding and uses a chloromancy spell to attack and choke Rain with a vine. Nostra cuts down the vine and a fight begins against the trio and the Lush Cave guardian, along with her pawns. In the end, she was knocked down, and killed by Stella.

When the Lush Cave Marauders was defeated, Rain Wynter and his fellow companions entered the Deep Dark. When Stella and Nostra tried to claim the End Crystal, they accidentally lured one of the Wardens. To make their trip successful, Rain distracted the foe, and attacked it with his armblade, while Stella and Nostra successfully claimed the crystal. As more Wardens began to pop up, they began to run away.

When they came to the Lush Caves, they meet Azalea, who was about to attack them again. When she started to run towards them, one of the Wardens jumped from the ground, and making her retreat. Rain tried to attack it, but he became easily overwhelmed and thrown away by his opponent. In the end of the episode, he walked to his companions, probably worried about Stella, because she lost consciousness.
