Rogue (Fairy Tail)

How Rogue joined the Tourney
Rogue Cheney (ローグ・チェーニ Rōgu Chēni) is a Mage of Sabertooth, formerly the strongest Guild in Fiore, and a member of its team: the Twin Dragons of Sabertooth. Originally a Dragon Slayer from four hundred years past, Rogue was sent to the future to assist in the destruction of Acnologia. Ashamed of the meaning of his name, as a child, Rogue referred to himself as Ryos (ライオス Raiosu).

After stopping an arms deal, Rogue learns the rumors of a team called Big Hero 6, and investigates one of its members, Baymax.
