Initially a servant of the Arlond's, Rem's family, he betrayed them and went back to his former master, Maksis, the demon king. Mainly seen in the form of a Pomeranian, Loewen can change into a human form.

* FakeDefector: When Maksis was defeated, Roen became a servant of the Arlond family. But once he saw an opportunity for the Forbidden Grimoire he switches back to serving Maksis, intending to use its power to bring him back. ''Fermata'' reveals that this is the primary reason why Marius hates his guts more than anyone else in the cast.



* InconsistentSpelling: The official romanization seems to be Roen, though Funimation romanizes it as Loewen.



* SpellMyNameWithAnS: The official romanization seems to be Roen, though Funimation romanizes it as Loewen.



* ItsPersonal: With Roen. From his point-of-view in ''Fermata'', Roen really betrayed Maksis to join with the Arlonds when the former was defeated. In actuality, Roen was faking his defection. In ''Fortuna'', Marius calls him worse names than the rest of the cast, who are otherwise ignored or mentioned using descriptors.

While he still uses ''boku'' in the ''Elegante'' end of ''Fermata'', in ''Calma'' he permanently switches to ''watashi'' when he accepts that he and Ritsuka are, in his sense, 'from the same soul'.

Ambiguous Disorder has been renamed and now belongs in YMMV.


* JerkWithAHeartOfGold: Rem started off as a cold and manipulative devil who only thought of Ritsuka as his "pawn". However, thanks to [[MoralityPet Ritsuka's]] influence he began to defrost. He later shows his bravery, when he courageously goes to the vampire castle with the other five, and is prepared to fight a whole horde of vampires to save Ritsuka. He also tells Ritsuka how he feels about her in the song "Crazy About You," and shows his caring side, saying that he will "wipe away despair (Ritsuka's) with his hand."
