=== History ===

====Pre-Story Events====

Before Ran became the demon general that invaded [[Hamel]], he was Aren Haan, a proud warrior of the Haan family from the village of [[A burning village|Isshin]] in the country of Fahrmann. He taught with sister [[Ara]] many of their families techniques and trained her as a warrior of the Haan family. One day, Aren partook a post in Fahrmann's capital and left the village of [[A burning village|Isshin]]. The demons came from the Demon World and attacked Fahrmann, starting with the capital. Unable to defend against the demon invasion forever, the capital fell and Aren's strong connection to the Moon El made him a prime target to be brainwashed by the demons. He was known as the demon commander Ran.

As Ran, he would return to his once home village to take the Moon El for the demon army. His demon forces were powerful and the village [[A burning village|Isshin]] burned to the ground. [[Ara]] did her best to defend her village but the oncoming demon forces forced her and the other Haans further back until [[Ara]] was the only one left. Hurrying to the sanctuary she confronted Ran and Victor, Ran went off to search for the Moon El while Victor attacked [[Ara]]. Cornered and without any hope of surviving, the floor crumbled underneath her and she found herself in an ancient sanctuary and saw a shadow. [[Ara]] looked up and got a good look at the figure, only to realize that she was face to face with her brother Aren. Aren, now Ran, had little sympathy for his once sister and was ready to strike her down. However, [[Ara]] fused with Eun and was able to escape [[A burning village|Isshin]] with her life. Ran successfully completed his mission in Fahrmann.

Ran's next course of action was to take the Water Priestess [[Sasha]], the Water Seal from [[Hamel]], and the Senace Principality. The demon invasion in [[Hamel]] set much of the country in ruins except the capital city of [[Hamel]]. Ran attacked the [[7-6|Temple of Frozen Water]] and corrupted the Priest [[Avalanche]]. Ran was able to successfully captured [[Sasha]], but his duty had not been complete. Despite having the Water Priestess in captivity, he still required the Water Seal. Ran persuaded the Duke of Hamel [[Rod Ross]] by promising unimaginable power if he were to aid him in corrupting Hamel's White Colossus [[Helputt]] and retrieving the Water Seal.

In the El Search Party's quest to aid [[Rod Ross]] and obtain the Water Seal, they discovered that [[Avalanche]] had been hiding the sacred artifact in his scepter. After hearing this, Ran struck [[Avalanche]], killing him and took the Water Seal for himself. After the El Search Party found Ran at the end of the [[7-7|Halls of Water]], Ran had already finished his job. [[Chung]] fought Ran but [[Ara]] finally catching up with her brother and defended him. Using this opportunity, Ran fled away from [[Hamel]] and made his way to [[Sander]], where he informed [[Karis]] to embark on her plans.

Ran will appear in [[7-7|Halls of Water]] as the dungeon's main boss.

*'''Dark Sword Combo:''' Ran slashes with his sword twice, then uses his shadow arm to attack and launch you into the air. He can cancel this attack on his own after the first two strikes.

*'''Shadow Clone:''' If you try to distance yourself from Ran, he will create a clone of himself next to you and attack. He will always target the player furthest away from him with this attack.

**He can still use this move even if you stay close to him, however he will use it less.

*'''Aerial Black Fire Claw:''' Ran will ascend to the air and will move left or right of the stage for a small distance. He will use '''Black Fire Claw''' to swipe anyone that is close to him as he descends.

*'''Black Destiny:''' Ran will unleash several slashes against you, each followed by a rapid burst of black fire, and finishes his string of attacks with an eruption of dark energy. Includes freeze frames. He will only use this after his second awakening.

*'''Reverse Gravity:''' A spell circle will appear under Ran. Any player caught within the circle will slowly rise into the air and will be vulnerable for his next attack, where he releases a shock wave from the ground. He will use this whenever he is awakening after his HP is depleted.  He will only use this regularly after his first awakening, his second awakening will almost double its area of effect. This attack will abruptly cancel many special actives used within its area of effect.

*'''Awakening I: Dark Enhancement:''' After depleting about 1/4 of Ran's health, he will enhance his sword with darkness. Afterwards, his attacks will then inflict [[Status Effects|Curse]] on you. All claw related attacks become larger and more damaging.

*'''Awakening II: Fire Enhancement:''' After depleting about 1/2 of Ran's health, he will enhance his sword with fire. Afterwards, his attacks will then inflict [[Status Effects|Burn]] on you. All claw related attacks become even larger and more damaging.
