Rowen is the most cunning of the Ronin Warriors. He wears the Armor of Strata and wields a bow and arrow. Rowen's Armor of Strata is moderately powerful compared to the other Ronin Armors. His weapon is a bow and arrow. A special quiver on his back produces arrows as he needs them and never rounds out of shots. Rowen's special attack "ARROW SHOCKWAVE!"(EV) "Heaven's Shockwave"(JV and OVA) allows him to shoot one massive energy arrow at his enemies. This attack seems to gain more power the longer Rowen concentrates on building the attack. In addition to his armor and weapons Rowen is not only the most cunning of the Ronin Warriors but the quickest as well. The calmest and most clear-thinking Ronin Warrior, Rowen is able to keep his cool in the most difficult of situations. In his Strata armor, Rowen draws upon the element of Air, which is linked to him through the virtue of Life(EV) and Wisdom(JV and OVA). In emergencies, the armor of Strata can take control and form a protective bubble around Rowen, allowing him to safely float to the ground or survive in space. He never gets caught off guard and cannot be fooled by mind games. Rowen is cunning, intelligent, and a good fighter, he possesses no specific known weaknesses. Rowen's parents are divorced and he lives with his mother. He often sits in his room alone or works out so he doesn't have to put up with their constant fighting.

FAMILY:
Father: Genichirou, a university researcher specialized in physics and astronomy. He's the type of mad scientist similar to Doc Brown of Back to the Future. He almost never leaves his lab. He'd like Rowen to join him in his research. He has a beard which I guess shows how far from the norm he is. (Japanese generally disapprove of facial hair.)
Mother: About a decade younger than her ex-husband, she still keeps in touch with the
two. She is described either as a very cheerful young person or an air-head. She is an
international journalist and is about 32 when the other Troopers met her in Tenkuden. She gave birth to Rowen when she was eighteen. She treats both Rowen and his father like friends.
