In Vol.2, Piros 'ambushes' Haseo a second time at the Lost Ground, Sugar Mansion Sif Berg, yet again mistaking him for Tri-Edge. In the process of completing the quest, Piros also successfully restores the confidence of an aspiring artist, who happened to be in the same field at the time, but was not strong enough to defeat the boss monster on his own. He and Haseo also participate in the 'Defeat Gurugon' side-quest, along with Gaspard, who becomes a great admirer of Piros over the course of the quest. Piros helps Haseo by alerting him whenever a new Sign appears in The World, and also plans an unsuccessful trap designed to capture Tri-Edge at Morrigu Barrow Wall. However, after Haseo explains the mistake in identity, he recognizes him as a fellow hunter of Tri-Edge and decides to form an alliance.

He mistakes Haseo for Tri-Edge, after Haseo goes to the area Piros posted on the Community Forum. In Vol.1, Piros has a vendetta against Tri-Edge, the mysterious PK, since he keeps leaving his distinctive mark all over Piros's beautiful graphics. series, Piros the 3rd is the leader of the guild ' Project G.U.' (English: Graphics Unbelievable Japanese: Graphics Umai, meaning 'Good at Graphics'). Hack, Hiroshi has developed a taste for Mexican food, such as tacos. A married man, he has a one-year old son. As a graphical designer for CyberConnect Corporation, he helped design the graphics for The World and was promoted to the leader of the graphical team for The World R:2. In the real world, Piros the 3rd is a 39-year-old man named Hiroshi Matsuyama (松山洋). He also cares very deeply about graphical programming, with Tri-Edge's defacing of his own work being his main motivating factor in hunting him down.

Piros takes on an over the top superhero-like persona, always trying to keep his 'true identity' a mystery, having a penchant for using flashy poses when speaking and going into (while with good intentions) long winded, meandering monologues. Though he retains the heavily armored look his old avatar had, Piros the 3rd is clad in golden armor this time, and adds a red visor to boot, making him look even more ridiculous than his character in The World.
