Rupin, The Crimson Demon

Rupin Lochester is the current owner of the Fire Curse and is said to be the most powerful Fire Curse user to have ever lived. His existence is foreshadowed in a book about his duty of protecting the Fire Sea Curse.

In the events of the Third Sea, Trigno, The Volcano and Rupin fought at The Sea's Torment. Their attacks were so powerful that the water around the battle site was set ablaze and turned to obsidian. The explosion of their attacks flung Trigno to a small island nearby, while Rupin was flung to another wilderness, completely burning it. It is now known as Demon's Landing, in reference to Rupin's title of The Crimson Demon.

Backstory[]

Rupin was chosen to be the guardian of the Fire Curse for all eternity due to his extensive knowledge of Sea Curses. Growing tired of the constant amount of challengers who wished to claim the Fire Curse, Rupin finally decided it was best to just absorb the Fire Curse for himself. He soon grew mad with power and became a pirate, and with his ever-growing bounty, he is feared throughout the seas bringing destruction everywhere he goes and has become known as the most powerful Fire Curse user to have ever lived.

Tips[]

Because of Rupin's very high damage, it is advised to bring healing potions when fighting him.
Rupin will freezes, he is likely preparing to rush toward the player and grab them. Moving quickly or getting air time can help avoid his grab.
Attacking during his flamethrower and fire pillar attacks is a great way to safely deal lots of damage if you're out of range.
You can extinguish burn damage by jumping in the water, using Wind Magic's explosion move or using Water Magic's explosion move.
After Rupin uses a grab or slam move, he will be right next to you, so it's best to dash away in case he uses his flamethrower on you.
Unlike regular fire magic, Rupin is able to damage you(without burn) in water.
