Biography

Raanu was at one point elected leader of the Fire Tribe by the Agori of Vulcanus.

After the secondary Glatorian, Malum, attempted to kill his opponent in an arena match, Raanu was forced to exile him. After the exile, Raanu found himself in a desperate search for a replacement Glatorian to fight for his tribe. The Skrall took advantage of their inability to claim resources, conquering the flame geysers north of his village. Unable to challenge them, he beseeched Metus to find him a Glatorian to do battle for the territory. Metus informed Raanu that no Glatorian would fight for him it meant fighting a Skrall.

As his village suffered from daily Bone Hunter raids, and knowing that the village would be undefended if Ackar were traveling to a match, Raanu turned to a helpful Agori to seek out Malum and ask him to return to defend the village. Malum was unwilling to return, but he instructed the Agori on a way to unleash the Vorox on the Bone Hunters, distracting them and temporarily alleviating the raids on Vulcanus. Raanu was awed by the courage shown by the Agori and rewarded him with an Honor Badge to let all know of his deeds. The leader then sent him to Tesara to seek out both Tarduk and the Glatorian Gresh, to see if they might have a way to save Vulcanus. The Agori later returned with a document that contracted several Glatorian to defend the village from the Hunters. Raanu praised him for his efforts and gave him the highest Honor Badge available as way of thanks.

Raanu fleeing Atero

Raanu traveled to Atero in order to watch the Great Tournament. After conversing with Berix and Metus, the Agori decided to travel outside the city, to see if any Skrall were approaching. They were met by a large army of the Rock Tribe, who were traveling towards the arena. Raanu left his friends and ran back to the Arena Magna to warn the competitors of the army's attack. As the Glatorian left to combat the Skrall, Raanu assisted in evacuating the city, sending the Agori back to their villages. A Skrall attacked him, but was stopped by Gresh, who let the Agori escape. Raanu later reunited with several Glatorian and Agori, and they discussed fighting the Skrall.

When Raanu entered Vulcanus' inn, he was confronted by Gelu, who showed him a detailed map of Vulcanus, one that he took from Fero. Raanu was extremely worried by the news, and was torn between making a stand, and fleeing to preserve the lives of the villagers. Gresh convinced Raanu to make a stand, and Ackar agreed to head the efforts. He ordered two of his rookie Glatorian to go to Tajun, and recruit Kiina and Tarix.

All the Glatorian rode out to find help, and Raanu stayed behind to help fortify the village. Kiina arrived soon after, and rebuked Raanu, as his warriors had died before delivering the message. Raanu continued to make the necessary preparations in the village as more Glatorian arrived.

After the Bone Hunters arrived, they were seemingly driven off by the traps set. Upon hearing from Gresh that the Bone Hunters were riding far away, Raanu dismissed the Glatorian, and allowed them to return to their village. The Glatorian insisted on staying behind, in case the Bone Hunters returned. Raanu disagreed, and ordered the Glatorian to leave. Raanu approached Metus before he left, and pleaded for the Ice Agori to find him new Glatorian. The Fire Tribe elder promised Metus various royalties for the task, including a match between Ackar and Strakk.

The Bone Hunters later returned and assaulted Vulcanus. As Ackar fended them off, the other Glatorian arrived, and succeeded in defeating the Hunters. Raanu checked the health of the villagers, and thanked the Glatorian for their help.
