"Those in power aren't always right. But I swore to serve her, so I will carry out my mother's orders. Even if it kills me."

Ryuu is an older stygian under the care of Cordelia. The oldest of her "children" he cares for the younger guardians like a big brother. While not the sharpest tool in the shed, he's unerringly loyal and will protect his "siblings" from anything, even the wrath of their own mother. He's a very solemn and quiet individual, which leads those around him to listen and pay attention when he actually speaks up on an issue.
