Shigure Rangetsu

Shigure Rangetsu (シグレ・ランゲツ, Shigure Rangetsu), is both the fictional character and antagonist of the Tales of RWBY series created by Monty Oum and Yoshiharu Gotanda. He was a legate-rank exorcist from the Abbey and Rokurou's older brother, having defeated and imprisoned him prior to the story, serving as the head of their family: the Rangetsu family. They use a unique fighting style in their aims to become the strongest warriors. He has a freewheeling attitude unappreciated by serious-minded exorcists. However, he justifies his carefree behaviour with his prowess in battle.

He is the head of the Rangetsu clan and the wielder of Stormhowl, the legendary weapon of his clan. He is regarded a genius swordsman within the Rangetsu style, and is always seeking an interesting and entertaining fight. He has little loyalty to the Abbey and Artorius, joining it for the sole reason of becoming stronger. His sole source of joy is to fight tough opponents and cannot help but laugh when his opponent is stronger than him. Thus, he will never turn down a new challenge if the opportunity presents itself.

"You’re the one who hasn’t changed, I bet. You still trying to think of how you can take me down?"
