~Rigr Stafford (Saito)~

After Rig stepped down as Second Founder, it seems everything truly has changed. Rather than talk about feelings, is it really such a great thing? Lean on this, lean on that... but then again, power changes, politics too... and the country. Far from it. Not to mention that Rig did experience feelings once: love. He once fell in love with a human girl named Jennifer. And it seemed like a Garden of Eden, the birds were singing, everything was perfect! But how far did that love go after her betrayal, which is what pushed him to become a vampire...what did you expect? Love doesn't last forever, and neither do feelings. But...what about his sons? Ferid: A complete disappointment. He didn't measure up to Rig's standards, didn't measure up to his strength. That's why he distanced himself from him, no longer acting as a father figure. Crowley...he wasn't needed in the current plans. You could say Rig as a father is quite contradictory and complex, considering the First Founder himself wasn't involved in Rig's upbringing. That's the whole answer. Nothing complicated. And nothing to hide. Rig had his own plans. And he showed up at the most unexpected moments: this underscores his role as a "puppeteer" operating behind the scenes. At the most critical and inopportune moments, it was Rig who showed up. As if he knew. Even when his brother, Urd Gils, arrived in Japan with his retinue, it thwarted Rig's plans, openly challenging and conflicting Urd, despite Urd being the strongest of the Founders. As stated, he had his own goals, and they were pursued according to certain principles, but he won't reveal what those principles were. One can only speculate and theorize...or maybe this sounds boring? Perhaps he wants war? It's never explicitly stated, but ultimately, when a person is cunning, dangerous, and unpredictable, they truly make the situation worse. This takes a long time to learn...as his own experience demonstrates. A mysterious, powerful figure whose true plans remain hidden until the very end. To demonstrate the extent of his influence.
