Biography[]
Orphaned[]
Teruo Suzuki was originally a young boy whose parents were killed in a fire caused by the Barnacle Orphnoch, leaving him an orphan. He was placed in the Sousai Children's Home, an orphanage run by Smart Brain, until Naoya Kaido decided to adopt him. Kaido took him home and allowed him to live in Keitarō's laundry mat, unaware of his immense power.
Rise of Orphnoch King[]
Teruo would later begin to display odd behaviors, such as going outside and wandering to random locations. It would eventually be discovered that he was the vessel for the Orphnoch King. Whenever he would black out, his Orphnoch persona would emerge from his shadow to consume the lifeforce of Orphnochs in order to mature. The Arch Orphnoch would eventually be fully awakened when Kyoji Murakami gave up his life to it to revive it.
Furious that the Orphnoch King's awakening meant he was no longer the strongest Orphnoch, Kitazaki went to kill Teruo even though doing so would doom the Orphnoch race. However, the Arch Orphnoch proved much more powerful than Kitazaki and killed the Dragon Orphnoch by tearing off and devouring his face.
After Yuji Kiba's betrayal, Teruo was killed after the Arch Orphnoch fully took over his body. Permanently transformed, the Arch Orphnoch fully evolved Saeko Kageyama and caused her to permanently assume her Lobster Orphnoch form, something which frightened Itsuro Takuma and caused.
In the final battle against Faiz Blaster Form, the Arch Orphnoch was defeated after Kiba, having returned to his senses, gave his own life to hold the Arch Orphnoch in place, allowing Faiz to finish it off with his Rider Kick. Despite its defeat, this would not be the last of the Arch Orphnoch.
Post Battle[]
After the epic battle between all the riders, it was revealed that the Orphnoch King had managed to survive. Due to the severe wounds it sustained, it was placed in a stasis tank under Smart Brain's secret facility by the Lobster Orphnoch. Because his fate was never determined, it's unknown will he ever return or remain dormant for eternity.

With the Batta Yummy and Alternatives 01, they attacked and defeated Beast when he intruded in Amadum's lair as he planned to harness the Kamen Riders power, forcing Beast to his proper place in space and time. The three monsters later appeared to capture the young Haruto and Koyomi, fighting off Haruto, Rinko, and Shunpei, when they tried to stop them. They brought the children to Amadum as Tsukasa Kadoya gave him the thirteenth and last Rider Ring (Fourze).
