Leading Jowston against the forces of Highland, Riou has all the makings of an idealistic young leader; the support of his closest friends, the ability to inspire those fighting with him, and of course a Rune of untold power, in this case Bright Shield. And while that Rune caused him a great deal of grief, it has also saved him more than once with its holy powers. In addition to plentiful healing and other beneficial effects, Riou's Rune provides a powerful trump card in the form of Forgiver Sign, a blast of holy might that few can withstand. While Godlike is home to many of the impossibly strong opponents that can withstand such a thing, Riou is too dedicated to give up easily, and steadily awaits his chance to shine.
