Ras

Ras's History

Lord Ras is an anthropomorphic tiger from the Wyldness, who is determined to assist his master in their plan to conquer all the Source Dragons.

Before the Merge, Ras came to Imperium and assisted Empress Beatrix to gain control of the kingdom by assassinating her father, becoming the leader of the Claws of Imperium afterwards. Despite being a capable commander and a highly professional warrior, he has failed to stop Arin, Sora, and Lloyd from freeing and escaping with the dragons Imperium had captured. Consequently, Ras was stripped of his title as leader of the Claws and imprisoned for his failures by Empress Beatrix, who now decided to do the job herself. During the MergeQuake Storm, Ras managed to escape his cell and, in the aftermath, recruited Jordana for her achievement in extracting energy from a Source Dragon on behalf of his master.

A year after the Liberation of Imperium, Ras traversed the Forest of Spirits with Jordana and used the Source Dragon energy to open the Shadow Dojo. He reassembled the Wolf Clan and attacked the Cloud Kingdom and the Land of Lost Things, seeking to free the Forbidden Five during the Ritual of the Blood Moon, but only succeeded in releasing Nokt after banishing Kai to the Nether-Space and unknowingly Rox's soul. After he and his allies escape, he promises his master that he would not fail him again.

Attending the Tournament of the Sources, Master Ras recruited the amnesiac Jay, deceiving the latter in the process, and Arin's old friend, Frak beforehand to teach them how to win the tournament. After both combatants lost, he casted them aside while also telling Arin about how the ninja were responsible for the Merge before watching Nokt defeat Sora and prepared to take over the Merged Realms. However, Nokt betrays Ras and releases the rest of the Forbidden Five, until his seized powers were taken from him, forcing them to retreat to the Cloud Kingdom portal gate with the tiger dragged along when he attempted to intervene. Ras ends up in a different realm alongside Arin when the gate was destroyed, and the latter helped nurse Ras back to health with intentions of finding his parents.
