User blog comment:DazzlingEmerald/Not Another One! Fanon Canon: Plot "Z" (Soul Society Civil War)/@comment-18812574-20150412044823/@comment-4509522-20150412050116

I agree completely. This works especially well given the direction that the Fanon Canon is currently going, and where things are going to end up (good ole' GM's and their secrets, teehee).

I don't mean any offense to Ten when I say this, he's beyond a capable writer and his contribution would be invaluble to the Fanon Canon... but I don't see Raian as an antagonist figure, at all. And his appearance in the FC is, not only rather abrupt, but his history and the FC's history don't match up anywhere as far as I can tell. I don't mind him being in the series at all, but as an instigator to the civil war? It's too much of a wildball in my opinion; we need something that's a little closer to home.
