Biography
Rades was born into a family whom hails from the Clover Kingdom. He enters a Magic Knights entrance exam, once he reaches adulthood and gets inducted into the Violet Orca squad. During his time as a member of the squad, the Knights begin to wary of Rades' magic and decide to banish him from the Kingdom.

Six years after his banishment, Rades who became a member of the White Night Eye, sits at the outskirt of the Kingdom waiting for the group to finish their preparation. Once one of the members gives him a confirmation, the former Magic Knight invades the Kingdom's Royal Capital by releasing his corpses on its streets. Using his corpses, Rades managed to cause a huge riot around the Royal Capital by having them attacking the guards and the citizens. During the commotions, Rades encounters Asta after he tries to torture a little girl. He then tries to attack him with the fallen corpses, but none of them is reacting to which Rades realizes that his opponent is the anti magic user. As the little girl hides behind Asta, a new batch of corpses is summoned by Rades to attack them.

Overtime Asta manages to defeat all of his corpse and proceeds to attack him. Rades quickly summons a corpse, which he called "Jimmy" to fight for him. "Jimmy", a corpse that could shoot bullets filled with curse power, manages to scratch Asta's cheek with his attack from which the latter begins to bleed extensively. Rades then orders "Jimmy" to shoot a barrage of those bullets on Asta, but the latter is able to parry all of them. Due to this, Rades decides to shift "Jimmy"'s attacks toward the little girl whom Asta is protecting.

During the assaults, "Jimmy" manages to land another attack on Asta in which reduces the latter's concentration as several attacks are about to hit the little girl. Unfortunately, Noelle Silva comes to Asta's aid and allows the latter to advance towards "Jimmy". Rades tries to prevent his opponent from closing in by summoning more corpses, but Leopold Vermilion clears a path for Asta to take "Jimmy" down.

Asta then challenges Rades to fight him personally, but the latter ignores it and summons a couple more corpses. One of the corpses, "Alfred", is used to fight Asta while the other is fighting against Leopold and Noelle. Using "Alfred", Rades is able to dominate the fight as Asta is unable to reduce the distance between them. The moment Rades sees an opening, he immediately orders "Alfred" to launch the finishing attack. However, unbeknownst to him, "Alfred" is suddenly catching fire and incinerated. The former Magic Knight then sees that the Crimson Lion's captain, Fuego Leon Vermilion, is entering the fight.

The said captain asks Rades of the reason behind his attack to which the latter reveals his identity. After a slight argument, Rades summons another corpse, "Carl", in preparation to fight Fuego Leon. The latter initiates the fight by launching an attack towards Rades, but "Carl" is able to perfectly withstand it. Rades then orders "Carl" to launch a barrage of attacks, which force Fuego Leon to activate a defensive spell. As he believes that Fuego Leon is cornered by his corpse's attack, the Crimson Lion's captain suddenly releases an attack that easily incinerates "Carl". Unable to react against the attack, Rades is dumbfounded and speechless with the turn of events.

Not long after, Leopold and Noelle were able to take down his last corpse as well before Fuego Leon restrains him. When the latter confiscates Rades' grimoire, the former Magic Knight begins to throw tantrums toward Fuego Leon. However, he becomes silence when Asta speaks to him. Subsequently, Rades receives a notification from Valtos, his teammate, in regards to their next move while the Crimson Lion's captain asks him of the invasion's true purpose, yet again. At that moment, Rades reveals to Fuego Leon that his group's mission is the latter's assassination.

Suddenly, Fuego Leon is transported away from their location, which prompts Rades to fall in laughter as Leopold demands an answer to his brother's whereabouts. His restraints then disappear when Fuego Leon returns unconscious. Rades then ambushes Leopold and sends him flying towards the wall, the moment he is free. The rogue mage then promises Asta that he will return to kill him as Valtos activates his spatial spell around Rades. Unfortunately, Asta prevents him from escaping and slashes him on the cheek. Rades becomes helpless as he is unable to defend against the young Knight's assaults while Valtos is unable to help him.

Fortunately, reinforcements arrive for Rades and Valtos and take over the fight from both of them. The White Night Eye member then joins his teammates when they decide to escape after more Magic Knights arrive to the scene. As they reach their hideout, Rades is caught in a slight argument with one of his teammates for his attempt on fighting a captain of the Magic Knights. Upon their entry to the hideout, Rades is greeted by Julius Nova Chrono, the Magic Emperor, whom swiftly kills three of his colleagues. Rades is then rendered unable to retaliate when Julius casts a restraining magic spell on him. Fortunately, the leader of his group came and took him away along with his teammates before Julius is able to extract any information from him.
