Personality:
During his exile, Allen was a bitter, impatient, and complex young man, akin to a tragic villain. More than anything, he wanted to return home and regain his place as his former seat. Allen believed, or forced himself to believe, that overthrowing the current authorities of the division would make these wishes come true, making him one of Shuren's most determined enemies. His motivation was focused on him redeeming himself which stood in contrast with other pursuers.
The prospect of returning home and earning his seat was Allen's sole motivation. After losing his first chance at Pandora, he was filled with abject despair. At first, he lashed out and turned to robbery, even stealing from those who were kind to him. After some time, however, through all his trainings and meditation sessions, he gained a more reasonable outlook. Theft was still necessary from time to time; he refused to steal from needy people or people who showed him kindness. He defended a Rukongai village against a group of thugs who terrorized its people. He became more patient, kind, precise and calculating; said traits necessary to evade Soul Society's pursuit while staying incognito from local authorities. These traits became dominant after Allen's fever dreams and hallucinations, as afterward he displayed an optimistic attitude toward life and the world.
After learning Shuren's death and how he spent his last days, Allen's zeal and resolve resurfaced in an entirely different direction. He revealed in a discourse his banishment made him a firsthand witness to the misery and pain his former group has inflicted on the Soul Society. While confronting Eldridge, Allen showed a complete change in personality. He was seen regretful about his former disrespect and ruthlessness. For the first time, he admitted his wrongdoings to his previous division and apologized for the things he did. Since coming to terms with his own true feelings, he was more laid-back and empathetic, though remained strict and uptight when training. After joining the division again he smiled a lot more than usual, even when jokes were made at his expense. Nonetheless, he still remained as one of the more serious officers of the division; whenever a situation gets worse, Allen does not put up with any antics or mistakes.
Allen believes one becomes strong by struggling and fighting for what they want. His reaction to the perception of the world always set against him is an iron-willed defiance and inflexible determination. He is clever, yet hot-headed, often letting his temper get the best of him. He seems adverse to the thought of harming others without any motive or benefit.
"I've struggled for so long to do what's right; to even know what's right... But I understand now. The struggle isn't something I can escape."

Biography:
Allen was born in Soul Society. He had a happy childhood in Rukongai, which he never spent alone. During his childhood, he spent most of his time with his friends; Hiroshi, Galen, Moon-no and Yu-shin. The five discovered their spiritual powers and attended to the Shinō Academy. They all graduated as the top of the class, at the areas they specialized in that is. They joined the Tenth Division and got their seats in a short time. Not long after that, they succeeded with some of the missions that couldn't be done before and became quite popular.
Yu-shin, the leader of the group, led them as they studied forbidden Kidou to increase their strength. Blinded by power, Allen also participated. However, these studies were soon found out and the group were sent into exile. During their banishment, they built the Pandora, their own multi-dimensional HQ. Their objective was to bring down the division's head and get their old seats back. Nevertheless, they all agreed that they needed at least one more person to accomplish such a feat. Because of that, they tried to make Shuren join them as soon as they learned of his presence. While the clone was sleeping, they erased his memories and brought him to their HQ. Their plan was to fight him one by one and help him regain his warrior skills. However, Shuren managed to defeat and kill everybody on his way. Except Allen. After Shuren left, Allen visited every dimension within the Pandora and saw the deaths of his friends with his own eyes. Once he did, he exited, as the Pandora's sole survivor.
At first, he sought revenge from Shuren. He trained for the next three years and improved every single art. Then he set off to search him. In the end, he found Shuren's grave. Learning his death and how he spent his last days, caused a great change at his personality. He felt like he didn't belong to anywhere and had nothing to gain or lose; he was experiencing nihilism to its fullest. Going to the Valley of Screams, which was neither in Seiretei nor Rukongai, the man encountered Eldridge. He clearly stated his wish to fight Shuren. Eldridge had already seen the change in him, but he still granted Allen his wish. In the end, Allen lost and accepted Eldridge's offer to join his old division once again and return to his home.
After redeeming himself, Allen's Zanpakutou finally communicated with him and revealed that he was the part of a reincarnation cycle. After a couple of successful missions, Allen eventually earned his nickname, Rinne. Now he is an officer of the Tenth. However, he doesn't have a seat at his own request.
"My whole life I struggled to gain respect and acceptance. But once I had it, I realized I'd lost myself getting there. I'd forgotten who I was. "
