Overview[]
An expert knife thrower and former Dictator of Sercia,[6] Sherudo was born in the Garo Royal Family, the infamous monarchy that ruled Sercia for over 500 years[3] until said monarchy was overthrown in a coup d'état by William MacPherson, who later went on to be president of the newly-established Republic of Sercia. Sherudo has spent six months plotting to re-establish his rule, hiring the notorious mercenary, Wild Dog, and his organization to carry out his plan.[3]
Sherudo abducted the president's daughter, Rachel, and threatened to kill her unless President MacPherson resigned from office and reinstated him into the throne as "Ruler for Life".[3] Unfortunately for Sherudo, President MacPherson ended up enlisting the help of the V.S.S.E., who sent the one-man army, Richard Miller, to infiltrate Sherudo's castle. Richard defeated countless waves of Wild Dog's troops, and then made it to the top of the tower where Sherudo lay in wait. Sherudo introduces himself and gloats to Richard how he already won and is now in control of the nation, before engaging Richard in combat.
Although Sherudo fought Richard valiantly utilizing throwing knives, his plan was foiled when the agent fatally shot him, finally putting an end to the Garo family's bloodline.
