Souther establishes himself as {{nihongo|Holy Emperor|聖帝|Seitei|}} after Raoh's injury and becomes known as a merciless tyrant, kidnapping children to build his Holy Cross Mausoleum. Souther was once a warm and loving child, adopted by the previous master of Nanto Hō-ōken, [[Ōgai]]. However, because of Nanto Hō-ōken's awful legacy, Ogai tricked Souther into killing him in order to be surpassed by his student. Souther was devastated by his master's death and over time became hateful and inhuman.

When Souther is confronted by [[Kenshirō]], his immunity to Hokuto Shinken allows him to emerge victorious. He later executes [[Shū]] atop the holy pyramid and engages in a rematch with Kenshirō. This time, his opponent discovers that Souther has ''[[wikipedia:dextrocardia|dextrocardia]] [[wikipedia:situs inversus|situs inversus]] totalis''-- his heart is on the right side and the positions of his pressure points are reversed. After losing his protection, Souther makes one last stand but is defeated by Kenshirō's merciful ''Ujō Moshō Ha'' technique. Overwhelmed by his opponent's compassion, Souther spends his final moments reconciling with the shrine of his beloved master. Shortly afterwards, the holy pyramid comes crashing down under the weight of Shū's sadness, whose spirit mourned for someone as wicked as Souther.

In the movie ''[[Shin_Kyūseishu_Densetsu_Hokuto_no_Ken:_Raoh_Den_Junai_no_Shō| Raoh Den: Junai no Shou]]'', his death scene is different than in the manga or TV series; there is no reference to his sensei Ogai or the motive behind the pyramid. The moment when he embraces his sifu's body is also omitted. Instead, Souther commits suicide by stabbing himself with his fist, refusing to die by Hokuto Shinken.
