Ren Akatsuki

Ren Akatsuki, known as Empty Night Ren, is one of the mages who belong to the Blue Pegasus Guild's team The Trimens.

Appearance
Ren is a tall young man with slim body, short black hair with a ponytail. He has tanned skin but it isn't natural, he used tanning lacrima to get the perfect tone of skin. In his first appearance, he is seen wearing a black blazer with a yellow shirt underneath, and dark pants. His attire has the Blue Pegasus insignia located over the side of his left shoulder.

Personality
Like the rest of the Trimens, Ren behaves like a typical womaniser in that he usually charms up to any female (regardless of the age) he meets for the first time ever. If he is around a girl he always try to act like a tsundere, but in Lucy's case it wasn't very effective. He doesn't get along with other men, (except his team members) probably because he considering them as his rivals in love.

Oración Seis arc
Ren, along with Hibiki Laytis and Eve Thylm, acts as a greeter to the other members of the Light Team, though the three of them are more womanizers than anything, instantly trying to woo over Lucy Heartfilia and Erza Scarlet (and later Wendy Marvell). After briefing the others on who the Oración Seis are, the group (save Jura Nekis and Ichiya Wanderlei Kotobuki) take off to find them. Soon after, the Oración Seis found them, they are quickly beaten and nearly left for dead by the Oracion Seis, but at the last minute they are saved by Jura and healed by Ichiya afterwards. The alliance then regroups and splits up to find the Oración Seis's base and rescue Wendy and Happy who are both taken by Brain.

As Ren and Eve near the hideout, they run into Dark Unicorn, one of the dark guilds the Oración Seis allied themselves with, however unlike the Oración Seis the two were easily able to defeat them. When they saw Nirvana activated they split up, Eve continued searcing for Wendy, meanwhile Ren set off to Nirvana. But before he reached his destination, Midnight finds him and easily defeats him.

Later he is seen together with Sherry Blendi on the magic bomber Christina, using his Air magic with Sherry' Doll magic to manipulate the ship, but the pressure is too much for Sherry and she fails to hold herself on her legs. She apologizes that she can't do it longer, but Ren tells her she's pushing herself too much. Then Christina is falling to the ground.

After the Oracion Seis was defeated and Nirvana stopped, the Light team regroups in Cait Shelter Guild where they learn the secret of the guild. When the time has come for them to return to their respective guilds, he is seen asking Sherry Blendi if she won't be lonely on the trip, with Sherry telling him that he should go.
