Regent, whose real name is Rijian, is an extradimensional terrorist and prince of the Directorate, he is an enemy of Stormwatch and Union.
History
His first attempt to invade Earth failed when a technician shut down Chernobyl's nuclear core before he could breach our dimension but his second attempt succeded and easily dispatched the Stormwatch team awaiting him, he took Fahrenheit and Winter prisoner while Cannon managed to escape and ask for reinforcement.[1]
When the rest of Stormatch arrived he took out some control rods from the reactor to cause a disaster that would kill all eyewitnesses they attacked him but quickly found out how powerful he actually was when he started to take them down one by one with relative ease, but when Diva set free both Fahrenheit and Winter the tide of the battle turn against him as Winter absorbed the power of the Justice Stone that granted him his powers, weakening him visibly.
Realizing that he was temporarily outmatched he escaped, swearing vengeance upon Battalion.[2]
