Rafal was one of the many children Sombron fathered in an parallel Elyos. During the Fell Dragon War, he was friends with Nil—Nel's twin—and, upon the former's request in his dying breath, Rafal assumed his friend's identity and became Nel's adoptive brother. Sometime after, he and Nel defected from their father's side, met Alear, and sided with them in the ensuing conflict.

At the start of the Fell Xenologue, Rafal (under Nil's identity) and Nel summon Alear into their world and ask for their help, as all 3 venture into a quest where they recover the seven Emblem Bracelets to save their version of Elyos.

“	Nel: We do not have to fight, Nil. There is still time. Nil: Time for what? Talk? We are well past that. Do you expect me to simply abandon my plans and surrender? Go back to being a failure? Nel: We can resolve this. Explain your plans to me. Help me understand. Nil: I intend to gain power and to kill you. That is all you need to know before you die!	”	— Nil against Nel in Fell Xenologue 5.
