## Background

Ren is a Gundalian disguised as a human. He and Anne was sent by Emperor Barodius to find the strongest brawlers to help defeat Neathia and to find the DNA Code. Ren comes from the underground world of Gundalia, where he was kept by Emperor Barodius' family because he possesses a Dark Bakugan with a very powerful ability (the Forbidden Power). He lies to the brawlers telling them that the Neathians love war and invaded Gundalia and that the Gundalians always want peace, when it's really the other way around. He probably gave the brawlers the newer Phantom Data in order to let the Gundalians pass into Bakugan Interspace detected as so-called "Neathians".

He looks artful, cruel, and he underestimates friendship at first, but after that, he began to show compassion by feeling sorry when a member of his team was punished for their losses, He and Anne trying to save Sid and Anya from falling into the river, and saving Wynton and Julie from being captured by a flesh-eating plant. After joining the brawlers he becomes a more kinder person as he feels grateful for how they have treated and hates Bariodius for using him as a pawn.

## Personality

Ren starts off as a rather self-motivated person who, while he didn't *oppose* friendship, didn't view relationships very highly, aside from his bond with Linehalt and Anne Pearce. As the last descendant of the protectors of the Dark Bakugan, he and Linehalt were always forced to live underground. In order to attain freedom, Ren and Anne serves Barodius, with the mission of finding and recruiting brawlers for Gundalia's war against Neathia.

He starts off having rocky relationships with most of his teammates and the brawlers. While Wynton saw him as a friend due to the Phantom Data Ren gave him, Shun and Runo had no problem with exposing Ren and Anne's true purpose after hearing Almaz and Fabia's side of the story, which hurt Julie greatly. Ren and Anne's own teammates teased him when he forgot his mission due to his bond with the Battle Brawlers.

However, as the series progresses, he comes to value others more. While he didn't get along with Sid Arkale for most of the series, he and Anne tries to save Sid and Anya when Dharak attacks them, and Sid and Anya entrusts Ren and Anne before they splash into the river. When he overhears about the disposal of his other teammates, he apologizes to them for their fate, especially in cases where he had taken part in the losing brawls that they were punished for.

After realizing that Barodius was just manipulating him, Ren loses his loyalty to him and turns to Neathia's side. However, he still respects his superior Nurzak, who also opposed Barodius' motives and actions. Even before betraying Barodius, he did not hold any grudges towards the Neathians and has displayed respect for them. he entrusted Anne and seems to have become friends with him. He get along with Mason Brown, Kavon Marrow, Logan Colbert and Jesse Glenn that Sid and Anya are alive.

Left with no other choice, Ren and Anne was forced to simply watch the brawl and hope Sid and Anya could win. Ultimately however, Neo Ziperators passed the Elements on to Lumino Dragonoid and Oblivion Leonidas, putting it back in Neathian hands.

In *EP 29,* he, Anne, Wendy and Zenet are talking about getting the Elements back.

## Trivia

* Prior to being revealed as an antagonist, the official website spoiled the fact that Ren was working for Barodius.

* He is the only one of the Minor Imperial Orders to have an Intermission Screen that shows their real form.
* He, Vex Lancer and Wade Lynch are the only former antagonists to eventually become one of twelve main members of the Brawlers.
* He is the earliest of the twelve/thirteen antagonists to change sides in the series.
