[edit] Backround
In the anime, it is revealed that Maira, a former Pawn, became a Bishop by gaining the ÄRM Vaqua. He is not given a backround in the manga.
[edit] Personality
Maira is a black-cloaked masked man who takes pleasure in engulfing and digesting people with Vaqua. Vaqua is a resemblance to a yugioh card that marik uses called "revival jam" 
[edit] Plot
[edit] Pre-War Games
In the anime, Maira, presumably a Pawn, is seen searching for the legendary ÄRM Vaqua, when suddenly a Cross Guard shows up and attacks him. Maira nearly dies, and only survives once he finds Vaqua, using it to defeat the Cross Guard. It is for this that Maira became a Bishop.
[edit] War Games
Maira is first seen watching the War Game battle between Ginta Toramizu and Garon. During the second round of the War Games, Maira reappears as a fighter for the Chess Pieces. He has the last of the battles in that round, and goes up against Dorothy.
Maira is quick to falsely judge Dorothy's power, though he easily destroys one of her weaker Guardians and outfights another. Dorothy, however, calls back this one to bring about her favorite, Toto, which eats Maira's Vaqua.
Maira, now ÄRM-less, begs Dorothy for mercy. Dorothy, however, doesn't do as such and has Toto eat Maira as well, becoming the first casualty of the War Games.
[edit] ÄRM
Maira's ÄRM are:
- ???: A weapon Ärm in the form of a scyth wielded by most Pawns, which Maira discarded after obtaining Vaqua.
- Vaqua: A Guardian ÄRM in the form of a giant blob of slime with one eye. The blob will digest anything it swallows up into its body, such as ÄRM or even enemies themselves, and will regenerate from any damage.
[edit] Trivia
- The cloak is vastly different in effect in the anime and manga. In the anime, it is given a mirage like appearance; and the manga a shifting mass of darkness.
Keiichi Sonobe also voices Yahoot in Megaman Nt warrior, he also voices kokatorimon in digimon and also a team aqua member in pokemon.
