A rival to Strider Hiryu's success in the Striders, being known as a 'Strider' myself,I am Strider Hien in which I became jealous of Hiryu's success and god-like status as he was the youngest Strider to be a Class-A ninja. Seeking revenge, I offered my services to Grandmaster Meio and assisted him in wiping out most of the Striders.Hiryu fought me twice putting me into shame from my own irrational behavior. Yet one thing always streamed through my head since our old days in the Strider Academy, and that was competition, between myself and Hiryu.My weapon is a double sided Cypher sword since either side of the weapon can be thrown at my enemy like a boomerang, giving me more of an advantage with long range attacks. I favor my blade as a part of myself. 'Live by the Sword and Die by the Sword', a code that one must always vow to amongst warrios such as us Striders. Though I'm only vulnerable once I do this, having to make long range attacks, (doesn't mean I can't put up a fight hand-to-hand). I am a serious person, I don't really have much of a sense of humor, only at certain times.Days and days have past after my last defeat from Hiryu and yet another plan put to failure. No one knew what happened to me after my second consecutive defeat at the hands of Hiryu. Rumors were abound in the Strider circle that I gave myself time off to train myself in order to win when me and Hiryu the Strider ninjas will meet again in our next duel. Now it is just a matter of time to redeem myself from being an incognito.
