Commander Rison looks like the poster boy for change at first glance, but nothing could be further from the truth. His change is physical only, as this deceitful, power hungry brute remains as ruthless and single minded as ever. His only goal throughout life has been acquiring more power for himself. He began this journey as a faceless soldier in The Salvatican Regular Army, trying to make a name for himself amongst thousands of others looking to climb the ranks as well. Using deceit and intimidation he managed to obtain the rank of Sgt. It was then he had the opportunity to work side by side with one of The Salvatican Undergrounds Hunters, a beautiful young idealist by the name of Violet. Rison saw Violet's Sagely abilities and mild naivety as nothing more than another stepping stone to furthering his goals, and seduced and deceived Violet into training him as a Sage. He would use his fledgling powers not in self defense as Violet ordered, but in assassination to remove obstacles to his promotion. He quickly rose to the rank of Officer, and set his sights on a Commander position. His downfall came when he grew too ambitious, and heard that General Lykos had personally intervened and barred his promotion, the wise General suspicious of Rison's rapid rise through the ranks.. A rise cratered by the downfall of his rivals. Seeking to make a name for himself, and remove the obstacle to his advancement, Rison challenged Lykos to a duel, believing Violets incomplete training would be more than enough to silence Lykos. Rison paid dearly for daring to underestimate Lykos's skill and power, and at the duel's conclusion, Lykos was down one eye, but Rison was moments from death. Despite his treachery and abandonment, Violet rushed to his aid when she heard that he had been bested by Lykos. Her powers, and the powers of all The Sages she knew wasn't enough to do anymore than keep Rison clinging to life, but a recently hired Professor Hojo heard of the duel, and tracked Rison and Violet down. Hojo promised he could save Rison's life if Violet turns him over. Having no other option, she agrees, but soon finds that it was in error, as Hojo vanishes with Rison. Violet spends the next years trying to track the professor down, and to obtain information on Rison's whereabouts, and while she does learn of The Death Corps, she has no idea of the creature Rison has become after Hojo infected him with one of The Death Corps Biological Parasites. Agama and The Professor were eager to use it on someone who had done battle with Lykos, but they had no idea the organism wouldn't work normally with a male host. Though Rison survived thanks to the infection, he's now permanently trapped in his creature form. While many would consider this a tragic end to a tragic quest for power, Rison is thrilled with the power his new form grants him, and wouldn't give it up for anything in the world.. Except of course, more power.
