Forum:Kotrik, Bloodcrafter of Shadows

"My name is Kotrik. I claim the title of Kell of Kells for myself. The Given shall fall. The Great Machine will be reclaimed. To arms, brothers! Let us advance the work of Kirito, who has given us this strength!"

- Kotrik, Bloodcrafter of Shadows, rallying his Fallen brethren shortly before triggering an assault against the Guardian.

Kotrik, Bloodcrafter of Shadows is the Kell to the Fallen House of Shadows and is one of the highest-ranking and most trusted lieutenants of the Shadowkeepers. A skilled wielder of the Stolen Thunderlord and Darkness, he is an insane Leader and a loyal Fanatical warrior; a powerful foe who will stop at nothing to help achieve Kirito and Asuna's Goal of destruction.

He is the supporting antagonist of the Paradox expansion, having helped Kirito and Asuna kill Zavala and trigger the Shadowkeeper Apocalypse and later on being hired by their eldest son Tatsuyi to kill Rudolph McAlister.

Before the Swordsman
"Kotrik was a traitor to us...he attempted to speak to the Dark...but House Judgment and House Rain banished him; however he attempted to do so to save us from a coming threat, he might have been right...but now he works for Kirito...truly a terrible day."

- Variks

Kotrik, once a Fallen Captain, was an outcast of the Eliksni, due to him believing that the Whirlwind would happen, and he attempted to commune with the Darkness to save his people and was banished by the House of Judgment and the House of Lions. He would flee away from Riis; after somehow ending up at the Sol System, he would wait in the shadows, until after the Collapse, where he fled and entered the ruins of Tokyo, and made a living. After many years, he would stumble upon Kirito and Asuna, who saw potential in him. The two would then take Kotrik under their wing and have him accompany them in their conquest of destruction and to defeat the Traveler and bring an end to the City Age.
