 Dash's older brother. He was normal in all aspects of a teenager and young adult growing up, save for his weird fascination for assassination groups in stories and his willingness to start his own with his group of friends. They called themselves The Shadow, kept secret from their families (save Dash who wanted to join without really knowing what it was), but never actually ended up performing any real assassinations like they had been anticipating; most of their time was spent 'training.' 

While Rydell wasn't pretending to be an assassin, he played with his younger brother, whom he regarded with endearment at his innocence and youthfulness. He was mortified when he learned that his own best friend, named Petra, attempted to poison his brother in the name of their assassin group; brutal interrogation gleaned that Petra had some kind strange fear of Dash, specifically his ability which all of Rydell's friends were vaguely aware of. So he had tried to kill him, thinking he was some kind of evil entity, and was detained for attempted murder. Later he died by what appeared to be suicide. 

Rydell faced blame from his stricken parents at Dash's near death, as all of the information regarding The Shadow came out with Petra's confessions. As Dash neared recovery from his cyanide poisoning, Rydell disbanded his group and told them to never go near the base again, and soon after became very distant from his friends while also facing ridicule from his parents at home.

Already disdained from their somewhat irrational blame, he grew increasingly hostile when he noticed how often his parents fought over anything to do with money, watching them bring out their worst sides as they began to say rather thoughtless and damaging things about him and Dash 'leeching' the money out of them.

He was extremely concerned for Dash's sake, who began to believe he was somehow at fault for his own murder, and for the anger of his irrational parents, and began scheming to take him away somewhere safe from them. He eventually did sneak away in the night with Dash, taking him to their undisturbed old base on another side of town to live, effectively cutting off contact with everyone. He began to try and raise him himself, despite being strapped for funds and the crippling of Rydell's career and future plans. He had resorted to stealing for a short time to keep food inside the house, but it had always made him feel guilty. He soon got himself a job for rather meager pay, but it was something.

He continually expected police to catch him or Dash for being missing, but strangely there was no sign their parents had reacted to their sudden leave. Rydell had assumed they preferred it this way and kept the events quiet, much to his disgust. 

After four rough months, and three days after Rydell ended up losing his job, he disappeared under unknown circumstances, leaving Dash alone to live off what was already earned and bought, and to venture out in search for him all over the area, thus leading him to meet Zeryl on the streets at night.
