Biography

Ren rescues Sora.

Not much is known about Ren's past, save that he was top of something called the Continental Circus and knew of Yugo was a City Champ in Turbo Dueling.

Ren was first seem at an unknown place, watching the Duel between their sleeper agent Sora Shiunin's and Yuya Saski alongside Eve. Ren obeyed Eve's orders to retrieve Sora, traveling through dimensional corridor to save the boy from being consumed in the explosion he caused. Ren then carries out Eve's other order to search through Yuya's memories for confirmation that he possesses the Adam Factor, hacking into Yuya's computer system and transferring himself to the unconscious youth's Duel Disk. Yuya's counterparts noticed but failed to stop him in time, with Yugo offering to deal with the intruder himself.

When found by Yugo, having not expected to be spotted so soon, Ren mentioned the youth by name as he was expected him. He shocks Yugo further by knowing of Yusho Sakaki, Leo Akaba, and the "World Illusion" event. Only telling Yugo his name, Ren offers to answer more if the youth can beat him in a Turbo Duel. Though Yugo eventually won, Ren got the confirmation he was looking for and quickly leaves Yuya's body as Yugo and his counterparts got their hands full with the resurging memories caused by the duel.

Ren later watched Yuya's duel with Reiji Akaba, whom Eve suspects to also possess the Adam Factor. When Reiji reveals to Yuya that they are being watched, Ren appears and reveals Genesis Omega Dragon is in Eve's custody and that he intends to take the Adam Factor from Yuya and Reiji by force if needed. But the area the two youths were dueling in began to cave in, forcing Ren to fall back. Two weeks of failed searching later, Ren finally pin-points Yuya's location and ends up learning that he was being called out by the youth. But Yuya ends up being subverted by Yugo, who intends to settle things with Ren.

Deck

Ren uses a "White" Deck, using complex tactics to gather Synchro Materials to Synchro Summon while distracting the opponent. Ren claims that the use of complex tactics is a basic Turbo Duel strategy, since the more distracted and worked up the opponent gets, the more mistakes they commit.

The main feature of Ren's monsters is the ability to Special Summon themselves back as Tuner monsters when they are destroyed, which Ren calls "Reincarnation Synchro". This allows him to keep Summoning stronger Synchro Monsters as his monsters are defeated.
