Rien (Hangul: 뤼엔, Iw-ien) is a Proxy of the Index and the master of Yoshihide and the head of the House of Spiders

Rien is a tall man with pale skin, black hair with silver strands, and a right eye featuring a golden pupil. He wears a black suit jacket with golden buttons and an Index symbol on its left shoulder, with two similarly gold chevrons beneath it. His dress pants and shoes carry the same color as the rest of his suit, with the soles of his shoes having golden trim. Beneath his suit jacket, he wears a plain white dress shirt and black tie. He wears white gloves on his hands.

Rien is a coolheaded individual, acting with grace and simplicity even while harming himself or others. He speaks gently, especially so to Yoshihide, who he shows considerable care for, as far as frequently reminding her to handle her scars so they heal. Though he acts with grace, he carries a sinister air, tormenting people both physically and mentally. Due to his allegiance to the Index, he shows extreme devoutness to orders of the Prescripts, going as far as maiming himself to prove the completion of his orders.

Despite his unflappable demeanor, Rien harbors mixed feelings regarding the Prescripts. As it is due to them that he could indulge in sufferings and the pleasures of the City, Rien is thankful for the chance they allow him to enact great violence onto others; however, he conceals a resentment towards them, having harbored a genuine attachment for his previous family, which he had allowed to die by following the order of the Prescripts. Rien also grew attached to his second daughter Yoshihide.

In the past, Rien, under an unknown original name, followed the orders of the Prescripts delivered to him and obtained the title of The Oracle's Proxy of the Index; he then rose to the hazard level of Star of the City.

At a point, the Prescripts led him to changing his name, creating a family, and soon after causing the death of this family. While he attempted to delay the Prescript, taking trips away from his assigned tasks or ignoring the Prescripts outright, he would always end up fulfilling the given tasks. Even despite the deaths of his family, Rien continued on, harboring his memories of the past every day, masked under an aura of nothingness and blind devotion to the Prescripts. At some point in the past, the Prescripts ordered Rien to model his appearance on a particular Fixer who was "lost" to the Library. Whether this was before or after the task of raising a family is left unclear.

Among the five Fingers, Rien was the Index's representative in the process of raising Ryōshū into a "perfect blade". In her youth, Yoshihide was trained by Rien in a variety of manners, most especially including a wide variety of weapons, such as the "Spiral". While the other Nursefathers showed distance to the project of raising Yoshihide, Rien showed a far more prominent position in a father's role, frequently doting on and caring for a young Yoshihide.

At a point in the past, Rien met with Yoshihide after having undertaken a Prescript that involved him having to stab a target through his own arm 38 times. While he was in pain, he informed Yoshihide of the severity of burning in comparison to his self-inflicted stab wounds, reminding her how much more painful it is; Rien chose to tell her to never burn somebody as a means of killing, provided they get the chance to curse her with their dying breaths. Taking the Nursefather's words lightly, Yoshihide chose to simply agree.
