Rafael is the strongest of Doma's Swordsmen and the most mysterious in his strategy. He is the only swordsman to have defeated his target once. He is also the only swordsman to not lose his soul after being defeated by his target, and was one of the first characters shown to be able to see Duel Spirits. He and Amelda were responsible for bringing Dinosaur Ryuzaki and Insector Haga to Dartz. He is one of the few characters to have defeated Yami Yugi in a Duel.
