A song is worth a thousand pictures, in my book. :P

Anyway, in summary, they are both people who seek justice, to protect the weak. But that does not necessarily make them NICE people. Blade Wolf prefers not to kill, being more pacifistic, but he still will take out targets with precision when he sees no other option. Raiden struggles with his desires to kill, always trying making sure that he doesn't become a sociopath who uses justice as an excuse to kill. 

For quick quirk notes, Blade Wolf, tends to not mind being treated like an actual canine by children, innocents, or those who he respects, but vehemently disagrees with people use it patronizingly. Raiden is a fan of unusual movies and books, and often watches them in their original languages, having learned some Spanish, French, and Russian.

Abilities/Weapons:

Raiden is a cyborg, only his hair and nervous system still being 100% his own. He is extremely durable, strong, fast, and skilled (Parrying bullets and slicing targets into hundreds of little pieces, yo). He also has an onboard sensor suite and encrypted communications system.

"I am Lightning, the rain transformed.": Raiden seems to be able to have some level of latent psionic power, having occasionally been able to cause enemies to die of electrocution by monologue-ing at them.

"They sowed their fate when they took this job, I'm just the reaper.": Raiden is equipped with an HF, or High Frequency Blade. Standard cut through anything techno-sword, but with a slight twist. Since joining the UMMA, Raiden's HF blade has been enhanced. While originally able to draw power and heal and power up Raiden by cutting through cyborgs and machines and absorbing their vital materials, the UMMA has enhanced the blade to also absorb magical and psionic energies, also thankfully allowing Raiden to damage such entities and block such attacks.

"Pain... this is why I fight.": In moments of extreme agony and damage, Raiden seems to become stronger, not weaker, despite his mechanical nature. Accessing his Jack the Ripper alternate Persona, Raiden is consumed by his thirst to kill and fights all the stronger.

Blade Wolf is like Raiden in his agility, speed, and resilience. He has similarly has advanced sensory and tracking abilities, for his universe.

"I'm my own master now.": Blade Wolf now carries Samuel Rodrigues' weapon mounted on his back, in place of his original chainsaw. The weapon's exceptional quality as a muramasa blade and HF enhancements renders it quite capable of cutting through anything that relies purely on physical strength. The scabbard is capable of firing the weapon out at high speed via an explosive charge, in order to execute iaijutsu strikes. It has received similar upgrades to Raiden's weapon.

"You will die.": Blade wolf is also equipped with six throwing knives which also have HF enhancements and are superheated, capable of inflicting serious damage on objects they strike. Blade Wolf can throw them three at a time with extreme speed and exacting accuracy.

Backstory: Other than the long, long, loooooong history of Metal Gear Solid and Revengeance, they are here, now, working for the UMMA after finishing up in their home universe.

In brief summary, Raiden was a child soldier, eventually rescued and turned into a black ops soldier. He was then captured while on a mission and turned into a cyborg ninja. He then escaped and helped his original team. Since leaving to go out on his own, he fights to make the world a place where no more "Jack the Rippers" like him are born. (Blade Wolf was an AI prototype, who desired freedom but was unable to defy his creators. After his defeat at Raiden's hands, Raiden rebuilt him and gave him his freedom. Blade Wolf stuck around and helped Raiden.)
