Venstar´s Guardian Ghost is that of the Archangel Metatron (アークエンジェル・メタトロン,) a mechanical angel spirit who´s base vehicle is a Hummer H1. Metatron´s weapons give him an incredibly destructive power. Like all other archangels Metatron has the ability to shatter souls.

Past
Originating from the Memphis, United States and was born on May 6, 1961. Venstar grew up to join the American Military. With them, he ended up in the Middle East, where he drove a hummer and fought off with terrorists. However, in 1991, this led Venstar to face off with Asakura Hao. Hao was attempting to recruit Mohamed Tabarsi, one of the terrorists that Venstar was fighting and Hao ended up butchering Venstar's entire unit. The fierce battle resulted in the loss of both of his legs, but it was this incident that awoke his shamanic power. While he was in the field hospital he met Marco Lasso, who was chasing after Hao, so he decided to join the X-Laws to take his revenge.

Shaman Fights Second Round
During the second round of the shaman fights he and Team "X-III" was put up against Hao and his Team "Hoshi-Gumi". His teammates Cebin and Meene were both quickly killed and while putting up quite a good fight he was taken by Hao's Spirit of Fire. Like all X-Laws his duty is to protect Jeanne and so he asked the announcer if the shield guarding the arena was strong enough, to which Radim said yes. Venstar then used the Grenade-X in a last and final ditch effort to kill Hao by extinguishing all oxygen in the arena so that the Spirit of Fire would lose it's medium and leave Hao unprotected.

But it was all in vain as Hao survived unharmed, by turning the Spirit of Fire into water. After the fight was over, Hao had the Spirit of Fire devour the souls of Team "X-III".

Invading the Plants
When Hao created a Black Hole within the Great Spirit, the X-Laws appeared in their "Supercars" to protect the Soul Train.
