This page is for the relationship between Rido Kuran and Haruka Kuran. They were brothers.
Background []
Rido and Haruka fought over Juri constantly until she eventually chose Haruka, much to Rido's dismay.
Sometime in the past, he stole Haruka and Juri's first born child (named Kaname after their ancestor) and sacrificed the infants' flesh and blood to awaken the ancestor Kaname from slumber. Rido reveals he intended to devour the ancestor Kaname and receive his power. Instead, he was attacked and drained by the starved ancestor and left unconscious. He was then seized and monitored by the vampire Council until he confronted his siblings years later.
Summary []
They appeared to have an amicable relationship until Rido killed Haruka's first child. Rido killed Haruka ten years before the start of the story when Rido tried to take Yuki. Rido had hated Haruka for taking Juri from him as both of them were in love with their sister though his love for her was more an obsession than love. Haruka loved Juri and married her, but still showed love for his older brother. He trusted Rido enough to let him come see their newborn child Kaname when he was just days old. Haruka was devastated when he discovered his first born was sacrificed by Rido and placed his brother in the custody of the vampire Council thereafter.
Many years later, Haruka confronted Rido when he planned to take Yuki Kuran and sacrifice her as he did to Haruka and Juri's first child. Haruka was unable to defeat Rido and died by his brother's command.

Rido had come back to the Kuran Mansion after discovering Yuki's existence to do the same thing he had done to their first child, Kaname. Haruka defends his family as he fights Rido but is eventually pierced in the heart by a Hunter's sword. Kaname comes and acts as a barricade between Rido and Haruka, but the latter states that it would shatter his pride as a parent if he allowed Kaname to defend him.
