Freeze

Roidmude 001 (ロイミュード００１), originally a Low-Class Cobra-Type (コブラ型) combatman, was one of the original trio of Roidmudes along with 002 and 003.

He later assumes the form of Soichi Makage (真影 壮一), the secretary of the National Defense Agency (国家防衛局) and has established a strong position in the political world. This alias allows him to keep an eye on the police forces, as well as Kamen Rider Drive when the Roidmude's case had been brought up.

Character History
After their creation, the initial trio of Roidmudes murdered their creator, Dr. Banno. They then proceeded to the home of his colleague, Krim Steinbelt, who aided Banno in creating the Roidmudes with his Core Driviars, to kill him as well. However, unbeknownst to the Roidmudes, Steinbelt's consciousness was uploaded into the Drive Driver upon his death by their hand.

15 years later, all 108 Roidmudes emerged and launched an attack on human civilization which would be known as the Global Freeze. 001 was part of the Roidmude onslaught in Tokyo which was stopped by the Shift Cars and Kamen Rider Protodrive, resulting in his temporary destruction.

Roidmude 001 later assumes the human guise of Soichi Makage, where he promoted to the secretary of the national defense forces and has established a strong position in the political world. This eventually allows him to overseer the police activities once Roidmudes had been brought fourth to the case. He even entrusts Mitsuhide Nira, leader of the Police Department's First Division to look after the Special Investigation Unit so that he may able to destroy Drive (possibly as well as Mach and Chaser) from within. He later created new models of Viral Cores called Neo-Viral Cores, which enables the Roidmude to evolve by fusing with intended human so they can fuel themselves with their darker heart.

Months later after the Global Freeze, Drive separated Sword from Hajime Taga with a SpeeDrop, resulting in the destruction of Sword's body. When his Core floated away, Roidmude 001 made his appearance and took Sword Roidmude's core.
