Rehvenge killed his half-sister, who'd killed the king, and the royal extended family chose Rehv as the new king. While the princess escaped to murder the sympath king, the Brotherhood, Ehlena, and Xhex came to Rehv's rescue. The sympath king took Rehv prisoner, intending to torture him until the princess eventually died at Lash's hands as punishment for attempting to stage a coup.

To protect his loved ones from the fallout of that, he faked his death by blowing up ZeroSum and turned himself over to the princess. When Rehv met Ehlena, the princess became jealous and threatened to tell his secret to the glymera if he didn't move to the sympath colony.

To pay off the Princess and keep himself and his family in glymera living standards, he founded ZeroSum and the Iron Mask with his drug, gambling, and prostitution ventures based in them. For 25 years, he'd meet her every first Tuesday of the month at a cabin in the Adirondacks where he'd deliver $250,000 worth of rubies and bed her. When the sympath Princess learned that Xhex and Rehvenge were part sympath, Rehv took on the obligation of fulfilling her blackmail demands. When Zsadist came to ask permission to mate Bella, in a 'whose is bigger' ploy, Rehvenge asked if it was because she was pregnant with his young.

Shortly after Rempoon's death, he began using dopamine to control his sympath urges, which worsened when his sister, Bella, was kidnapped by the Lessening Society. Before Rehv had finished with him, he heard the doorbell and assumed it was the doggen giving him fair warning before returning, so he took off knowing that Rempoon would soon die. Rehvenge inflicted upon him every injury that Madalina had suffered and disturbed the study to make it appear as if there had been a home invasion.

While she was there with Bella overday, Rehv arranged for the doggen to be out of the house and provoked Rempoon into a fight. One night, when Rehv was old enough and strong enough, Rempoon put Madalina in Havers' clinic for the last time. Rehvenge's stepfather, Rempoon, was abusive to Madalina and Bella. She kept his sympath side a secret from everyone, including his sister, Bella.ĭuring his transition, his maternal uncle brought him a prostitute, which was when he learned he had the barb of a sympath male, a piece of anatomy that locks a couple together during sex. Rehvenge was conceived when the sympath king kidnapped and raped his mother, Madalina.
