Samurai Rogue Unit

The Samurai Rogue Unit is a minor character in Masked Rider: Swordblazers, acting as a minor antagonist. A robotic frame hand-crafted by the Mallakor using data from the Samurai Rider's Break-Lock; the SRU is designed to both add to the manpower of the Human Liberation Front and serve as a vessel for communication between the two villain factions with it's independently-developing Artificial Intelligence.

Personality
The Samurai Rogue Unit, being an Artificial Intelligence, lacks any emotions or personality of it's own. Instead, it's AI is self-adapting; meaning that it learns behaviors or abilities through direct interaction. While Arthur and Martin treat the SRU as little more than a walking tool, Morgan goes out of his way to treat the SRU as it's own entity. Teaching it basics, sparring with it, and generally treating it like a friend.

After a time, the beginnings of a personality begin to form. Like Morgan, it avoids attacking innocents; and it develops an odd quirk where it will only dispatch an attacking opponent, as if adhering to an honor code. It also develops a protective attitude toward Morgan, even drawing it's Mech Machers against Croyer on two occasions when the latter would taunt him.

Keith and Natalie of the International Protectorate Army, despite being enemies, feel mostly sympathy for the robot and attempt to be kind to it when they can.

Personas
The Masked Riders of the Human Liberation Front, like the Riders of the International Protectorate Army, utilize Break-Locks carried on their person which allow them to use the Persona System when the Locks are tapped open. Different Personas have different strengths and weaknesses; with results dependent on the Rider accessing them. Unlike the Army Riders though, the Break-Locks of the HLF are unique in nature; possessing the ability to summon Invaders to attack enemies, but with a charge-time to maintain as a price. The Samurai Rogue Unit is unique in that, being a robotic entity with no Human form, doesn't require a Break-Lock to transform; only to maintain power.

Trivia

 * The mechanical beeping in which the SRU uses to communicate is a reference to the Sengoku Basara character Tadakatsu Honda, who despite being human in historical accounts, is depicted as a robotic warrior with no discernible speech.
