Duke B. Rambert




Duke is a fictional, playable character in the first three installments of the video game series '' Battle Arena Toshinden ''. He is a French Nobleman, and a champion knight of his King's Castle in France.

However, Duke was considered the strongest fighter in France until a young Japanese world-traveller named Eiji Shinjo was challenged to a duel by him. Eiji easily bested the arrogant Frenchman, and Duke vowed revenge.

For a while, Duke forgot about Eiji, and went on with his own life, eventually finding a girlfriend. But Duke turned back to fighting when he entered the Toshindaibukai tournament hosted by the Himitsu Kessha. To his horror, he came face to face with Eiji once again, and once again he lost pathetically, intensifying his hatred toward the Japanese Adventurer. Ashamed, Duke decided to retire from fighting.

But Duke entered the second Toshindaibukai after hearing that his girlfriend had betrayed him and become the new Uranus of the Himitsu Kessha. Driven by hatred, Duke entered the tournament, and this time, found himself fighting with Eiji to find Uranus. But when Duke heard that Uranus had already been slain by a man named Sho , Duke abandoned the battlefield.

When the third Toshindaibukai was announced, Duke entered solely for the purpose of fighting Eiji once again, but he was stopped by a Himitsu Kessha soldier named Balga. Duke killed Balga in combat, and was one of the few fighters to survive the tournament.

Duke, after hearing that Eiji had slain the Himitsu Guards Abel and Viel and become the new head of the organization (a good one, not evil), retired from fighting for good, and settled down as a rich nobleman in France.
