Story[]
During one particular raid, the Mt. Seifu Bandits attacked a traveling circus troupe. Sydonia, who was a member of that troupe, had a unique teleporting ability and attempted to use it to escape the attack, but Varkas, a talented and respected member of the Mt. Seifu Bandits, caught up with him and captured him. As a result, the two became good friends, thing which doesn't pleased Gwen.
Gwen, out of jealousy, poisoned Varkas with the help of Hudai while they had a discussion. Sydonia noticed this and attacked Gwen, distracting him enough so that Varkas may kill him. The bandits then forced Hudai to prepare an antidote to cure Varkas. Varkas then became the leader of the Mt. Seifu Bandits and later appointed Sydonia as co-leader.
