Appearance
He has long black hair and purple eyes. He wears purple and yellow robes with a red cloth over one shoulder, and a skull necklace. He has another piece of jewelry on his forehead. He carries a rose with him.
Personality
He is a narcissist, and he hates anything that isn't perfect, to the point of wanting to destroy these things. He doesn't like crowds, which is why he refused to join Yaiba. Rirove always keeps a calm and composed attitude, even when he loses to Yaiba and must serve him, but when in the heat of a battle he has a deranged look on his face.
Biography
Rirove is the purple Sword Eyes of Darkness. He comes from Stoke, an underground land of alchemy masters. He seemingly created Suou, using alchemy. Because Suou was a failure, he wanted to destroy him.
Kizakura opposed him, so Rirove decided he had time for a battle and accepted. Using his X-rare, he won the match, and went back to chasing Suou.
He later battled Sora, and this time was defeated, but he wasn't interested in taking Sora's advice as a fellow creator of "life," and still wanted to destroy Suou. Then, he was confronted by Garudos, who wanted him to join with the other Sword Eyes of Darkness. Rirove went to Antlantia, but refused.
To catch Suou, Rirove wanted to use Hayatemaru as an alchemy ingreedient. Not wanting to give up his partner, Hagakure battled against him. Rirove won, but only took one feather, which had a tracker Garudos planted on him earlier, but removed it.
Rirove followed the feather to Kamata. There, he met Gordy, who was sent to bring him back to Yaiba. Gordy informed Rirove that it was actually illegal for someone from Stoke to come to Atlantia, and even destroyed a device he was using to track Suou, Rirove decided to see Yaiba to negotiate this law. Yaiba agreed, as long as Rirove would battle him. If he won, Rirove would have to join him. Because Rirove lost the battle, he had to remain with Yaiba.
Rirove was offered to lead the purple army, but chose not too, explaining to Amarello, who he supposed was ordered to watch over him, that he only wanted freedom to move around in the city. He then goes on about how the Sword of Judgement interests him. He later met with Garudos, where he inquired about his own reasons for the Sword of Judegment, which he denied, stating he only wanted Yaiba to have it.
He was with the other Sword Eyes when Bringer was captured, when he questioned why Tsurugi cared so much about a droid that was programmed to obey him. Afterwards, he watched Brau and Bringer's battle.
When he met up with Garudos again, he asked if something was wrong, but said it was nothing. Garudos then asked Rirove to check something for him, which led to him discovering Tsurugi's current location to be in Stoke. He was asked by Yaiba to go there and look for him.
