Parado

Parad (パラド) is one of the main antagonists of Kamen Rider Ex-Aid series. As a Bugsters executive alongside Graphite Bugster, his main goal is to annihilate the human race.

He will later utilize the Gashat Gear Dual to transform into Kamen Rider Para-DX (仮面ライダーパラドクス).

Start of the Bugster Play
Playing the LCD Mighty Action X game, Parad was informed of a new Bugster infection by Graphite. With Graphite proclaiming that they would soon be joined by an influx of comrades, Parad voiced to him his excitement at the prospect of their game field expanding.

As Graphite spread the Bugster virus further, Parad voiced to him that fate was like a puzzle game. When asked by Graphite if he was sure that they should not be acting directly, Parad decided that he might as well introduce himself as he set off.

Meeting Graphite's old nemesis, Taiga Hanaya, Parad called off Graphite from his confrontation. Before they took their leave, Parad dared Taiga to clear the most games and become the strongest Kamen Rider.

Creating a Genm Lie
He is shown to be with Dan and Graphite in Dan's office, discussing about their plans. He also helped Dan protect his identity when he was defeated by Lazer Chambara Bike Gamer Level 3 by taking his equipment and pretending to be Genm, so that Emu and Hiiro would think that Kiriya could no longer can be trusted.

Personality
No one can read his mind from his innocent smile. He has a great obsession with games and is often seen playing on handheld consoles. And true to his obsession Parad treats all matters like one and operates in a more relaxed and playful manner unlike Graphite. As such, he take joys in observing the event before him unfold and acts in more of a general oversight role while, Graphite tends to take care of the fieldwork. However, despite his usual cheerful attitude, Parad can be serious enough, to the point that Graphite himself can't help but to obey him. However, unlike Graphite, who is loyal to the race of Bugsters, Parad didn't hesitate to trick and use his comrade to collect more data from the fights with the Kamen Riders, as a part of his collusion with Kuroto Dan. He didn't even seem to be sad or remorseful when Graphite is killed because of his plan.
