Ryuji was just a boy when he learned about his abilities, but he thought he was the only one-
- Until the night that some men broke into his family temple and his grandfather was forced to transform, only for him to be taken down and killed. Vowing revenge (with the aid of his newly awakened abilities), Ryuji burnt them to a crisp.
As he grew older, many unsavory groups found a use for his talents, and Ryuji, in turn, provided his services in exchange for financial assets. His life had taken a dark turn, but his last assassination sent him over the edge when he had to kill a child in cold blood (and it still haunts him to this day).
With the help of some other mutants, he was able to escape with his life, and now he tends to the temple (albeit he longs for more).
