Ripper is one of the characters in XBlaze Code: Embryo, and one of the antagonists. He was weakened by Tōya Kagari by draining out Ripper's Seithr and was killed by Avenge, the man who had been hunting him throughout the first game.

Information
A sadistic serial killer working under the alias of "Ripper", he has killed many elites of the Magic Guild and is wanted world wide. He is classed as an SS grade criminal, sharing this grade with Ragna the Bloodedge. Ripper is also one of the rare Drive-Progressors and has been on the run from the Mitsurugi Institute for over ten years but unlike every other Drive-Progressor, Ripper's spirit hasn't been contaminated by his Crystal and thus, he shows no irregularities. He is constantly on the run from Avenge and the Mitsurugi Institute.

Among his list of murders include the parents of Yuki Himezuru.

He was known for doing whatever he wanted, which ultimately lead to his demise. He kidnapped Hinata Himezuru to lure out Tōya because of his 'interesting smell', when Ripper went too far and pushed Hinata over the edge of a building to see the power deep inside Tōya, he had effectively sealed his own fate. Tōya, in a fit of rage, awakened the power of the original grimoire and absorbed the seithr that Ripper's Crystal needed to survive, this lead to Ripper being in an incredibly weak state; with no way to fight back nor run away, Ripper was finally killed by Avenge.

Ripper bears a strong resemble to Hazama from BlazBlue, except he has short violet hair with green streaks, wears a white eye patch on his right eye, and he usually has his eyes closed; his eyes open when he goes maniac, revealing that he has brown eyes.
