**Hakuryuu Ren** (練 白龍 *Ren Hakuryū*) is the fourth prince of the Kou Empire. He was the capturer of the djinns Zagan and Belial, and a King Vessel. Hakuryuu used to be fallen, but his rukh turned back to white. Hakuryuu had to step down as the Emperor due to the civil unrest caused by the International Alliance, after which he became one of the most wanted criminals in the world for carrying Zagan's vessel. He is the tritagonist of the anime/manga series, *Magi*.

## Story

Hakuryuu's early childhood was happy, and he loved his family members deeply. When he was 6 years old, his father was killed, and there was a fire in the palace which he tried to get out of with his brothers Hakuyuu and Hakuren. His brothers killed Al-Thamen members around them, Hakuyuu saying that they cannot die and let their enemies win. Hakuryuu wondered if their mother Gyokuen and sister Hakuei was alright.

Eventually, Hakuren died and Hakuryuu was left crying after his mother with the badly burned Hakuyuu. Hakuyuu said than only Hakuryuu could survive, and must finish their mission and kill the Kou Empire's worst enemy. Hakuryuu was confused as to why the Kou soldiers wanted to kill them and who would do something so cruel. Hakuyuu told the culprit was their mother, but Hakuryuu couldn't believe it. In order to save his little brother's life, Hakuyuu stabbed himself and covered Hakuryuu in blood. He told Hakuryuu to run to safety before the fire could reach him. Hakuryuu almost died in the incident, and the left side of his body and face was badly scarred.

Afterwards, Gyokuen told Hakuryuu and Hakuei that their uncle Koutoku, the new emperor, would adopt them. This way they remained a prince and a princess, although Koutoku's own sons were ahead of Hakuryuu in the line of succession. Soon, Hakuryuu asked Gyokuen if she was the culprit. She said yes, and that she was marrying the new emperor. Later, Hakuei asked Hakuryuu what was wrong, but Hakuryuu lied and didn't tell her the truth of their mother in order to protect her.

### Sindria Arc

When Sinbad comes to Kou for a diplomatic mission, he and Koutoku negotiate about how Kou is going to deal with Balbadd. As a part of the deal, Sinbad agrees to let Hakuryuu come to study in Sindria. Hakuryuu arrives in Sindria together with Kougyoku, and goes to greet Sinbad.

### Volume 10

#### Extra paper

Everyone writes messages on paper to express their excitement for Volume 10. However, Hakuryuu has a difficulty writing anything as he tries to think of something interesting and unique, which stresses him out. Alibaba tells him to just write something normal.

## Appearance

### Normal

#### Kou Empire arc

Hakuryuu changes his hairstyle to more resemble Hakuyuu's during the Civil War arc, and after killing Gyokuen, he wears a looser white robe with a black dragon down each side of the front over one shoulder, with a black Kou-style shirt underneath. During his talk with Alibaba in Ch. 252, he wears the left side over his shoulderpiece, which is Belial's Metal Vessel, to conceal it from him. His black pants and boots remain the same.

### Djinn Equip

#### Zagan

Equipping Zagan turns Hakuryuu's appearance into one covered by black slaces and feathers.

#### Belial

Belial's Djinn Equip is skeletal-themed, with intricate beastly skeleton ornamentation and a giant scythe of bone as Belial's weapon. Hakuryuu gains two pairs of black bat wings; one on his back and a smaller set on either side of his head, and two additional eyes on on his forehead, as well as a second set of arms.

## Relationships

### Hakuyuu and Hakuren

Hakuryuu looked up to his brothers, especially Hakuyuu. As a child, he used to say that he would try his best, but could never be as great as them. After their deaths, Hakuryuu develops an obsession with avenging them. When he starts his revolution in Kou, Hakuryuu changes his hairstyle to resemble Hakuyuu's, and his outfit (shoulder armor and Kou-style robe worn over only one shoulder) resembles Hakuren's.

### Hakuei Ren

Hakuryuu always thought that he had to protect his older sister and worried about her constantly. He seemed to wish she were more of a quiet princess type. Later, he realizes that he should have shared his worries with her, and they should have tried to find solutions for them together.

### Judar

Judar has always liked Hakuryuu and tried to get him to become his king vessel for years, but Hakuryuu never agreed to it. Judar preferred Hakuryuu even in comprison to Emperor Koutoku. Hakuryuu didn't like Judar due to his past, as he saw Judar as Al-Thamen's puppet. Hakuryuu was still thankful to Judar for being the only person to treat him normally after the fire. After Koutoku's death Hakuryuu was left alone and finally accepted Judar's offer for help. The two teamed up in order to defeat Gyokuen, whom they both hated, and Judar chose to abandon his other king vessels for Hakuryuu. They thought that they were the only people who truly understood the hatred in each other's hearts. After Judar's apparent death, Hakuryuu comments he can cope with losing one or two of his legs, but that he never imagined that he would lose Judar.

After three years of separation, the two are reunited. Judar says that he has become satisfied with his life as wreaking havoc with Hakuryuu has been such fun. Hakuryuu wishes that they would talk about all sorts of things together.

## Skills

As a prince, Hakuryuu is well-educated. Not only does he have knowledge of academic matters, such as having been taught the Torran language, he has also been taught in martial arts, knowing how to fight with a spear, a sword, and a bow.
