Overview
The House of Shadow was formed from remnants of Devils, Exiles, Kings, Winter, and Wolves that believed that the House of Dusk would not be able to defeat the Guardians. Using the technology the other houses had, along with the SIVA tech the Devil Splicers had during the SIVA Crisis, they created the House of Shadow. They joined Sumeragi during the Red War. They are distinguishable by black and purple bodysuit along with additional items if they are in higher ranks.

History
In the aftermath of the SIVA Crisis, the Fallen Houses started to come together following the damage they received throughout the years. However, some members of those Houses knew that the newly formed House of Dusk would fail to defeat the Guardians. So they banded together to form their own House, one so complex that it will be impossible to take down unless they are thorough with its extermination. The House of Shadow was formed when the Red War started, where they quickly hid but monitored the war from the shadows, taking only what they can while everyone was distracted. They were contacted by Sumeragi for the chance for of an alliance with them. Skalos, the current Kell, reluctantly accepted the offer but asked if they were be slaves to Sumeragi. Surprisingly, Nova told them they were be whatever they wanted to be but never slaves. He even granted Skalos the position of being the leader of the Fallen branch of Sumeragi.

Red War aftermath
All throughout the Red War, the House, in an alliance with the Sumeragi, continued to lay a low profile but kept stealing supplies from all factions. They would learn about the crew of the Almighty securing Mercury with the intent to research more about Vex technology. Informing Sumeragi about this development, Nova requested that they take any information on the Vex themselves and any information on the Red Legion themselves. They would eventually learn that the Vex Sol Collective are trying to shape reality to fit their future, one in which the Vex reign supreme. They also encountered the Chaos Collective, who briefly engaged them in combat but Nova intervened and swiftly ended the conflict. The Collective leaders came to Nova to join Sumeragi for their own future. Nova accepted it but warns that he will watch them for a while until he knows that they wont betray him, his family, and his alliance.

Following the Infinite Forest incident, the House, Sumeragi and Collective gathered intel on a Red Legion dig operation on Mars, where the remnants of the Legion were pursuing energy cells. This prompted the three groups to investigate this mysterious operation and, possibly, steal any information of it. However, they, instead, would discover the hidden Hive faction, the Grasp of Nokris and the Worm God, Xol. They would also encountered the Cult of Darkness and the Black Legion. The Cult informed them that Xol is planning to take control of Mars but the Guardian is handling it, while the Black Legion informed them that Val Ca'uor has seized control of the Red Legion since Ghaul's death. They would also discover Ca'uor's plan to assault and capture Calus' ship. Following this revelation, Sumeragi deployed agents to infiltrate the ship to distract and take down as many Red Legion possible, while a Guardian Raid Team take down Ca'uor.

Scorn Assault
A few months later, a message was intercepted from Reef informing that a prison riot was happening in the Prison of Elders. Piquing the interest of Nova, he send a task force of Fallen, Cabal and Adeptroid to investigate this riot. They learn that the Hunter Vanguard Cayde-6 was killed by the hands of the Scorn Barons. Needless to say, this enraged Nova, forcing him to pursue vengeance, sending the Shades to assassinate the Barons. However, he would learn that the Guardian who accompanied Cayde during the riot was personally pursuing vengeance themselves. So the Shades, instead, made sure that no enemies protecting the Barons would interrupt the Guardian in their crusade for vengeance. They eventually followed the Guardian to the last Baron, and Uldren Sov, where they learned that he was mind-controlled by Riven since the Taken War. The Shades then witnessed Uldren Sov get devoured by a Taken Chimera, before being freed and killed. They reported back to Sumeragi and told everyone what has happened. After hearing of the events that transpired in the Tangled Shore, Nova ordered all Shadow troops to keep an eye out for the Awoken City to report any developments. Scouts would eventually find out that an Ahamkara named Riven was Taken in the Taken War and began spreading Blight throughout the Dreaming City. Following her death, they would also discover that Quria has placed a curse on the city to be time-looped over the course of three weeks thanks to the Ahamkara's dying wish.

Black Armory
A few months later, a group of Shades located a Black Armory forge in Egypt and informed Sumeragi of it. A Shadow Priest, Axiki, would investigate the forge and discovered that it can create powerful weapons for the House and, by extension, Sumeragi itself. He and his soldiers took the forge to his personal Ketch and brought it to one of their research bases, where Weapon forgers managed to create their own version of the forge. Afterwards, they gave it to the Black Legion, along with their notes of the forge itself. Weeks later, they encountered the Shadow Guardians with Uldren Sov as a representative for the group, void of his memories. They joined Sumeragi, but warns that Uldren will kill Nova if he betrayed them. Meanwhile, Skalos would deploy several Shade troops to the House of Dusk after learning the younger members of the house have begun isolating themselves from traditional Eliksni beliefs. The Shades would recruit many members of the Dusk. Meanwhile, they learned that a crime syndicate called the Kell’s Scourge was attempting to locate the other forges and have them create weapons for them, even as far as dispatching a Prime Servitor, armed with a giant mech armed with Black Armory weaponry and tech designed for said prime, to the ruins of the Last City in a attempt to locate an vault containing these weapons and advanced tech. Skalos sent Shades troops to observe the battle between the syndicate and Guardians. Following the showdown between a Fireteam of Guardians and the Prime Servitor, one of the Shades suggested that the House would retrieve the mech and repurposed it for their own usage.

Old Tower assaulted
Skalos learned that Eramis has escaped the Prison of Elders during the riot and informed Nova of the revelation, while sending multiple Shades to look for any information on her. The Shades reported that the Vanguard has learned that Variks caused the riot so he could escape the Awoken and become Kell of Kells. They also reported that Eramis has brought multiple Devil Loyalists to her cell, thus creating a fifth Fallen faction with the weakened and splintered House of Dusks, House of Judgement, The Spider’s Syndicate, and the Scorn.

Nightmare
Months later, the Cult of Darkness reported mysterious Hive activities on the Moon. Catching the interest of Nova, he would send a strike force consisting of Shadows troops and Cult troops. The leaders of the strike force, Nakos, Shadow Prince and Ko Mal, Blade of Shira, would discover that Crota had daughters and were attempting to revive Oryx since, technically, the Guardians never took Oryx’s power. They also found a pyramid-shaped ship within the depths of the Scarlet Keep. They both informed all members of the Sumeragi leadership of this discovery, even showing a photo of the ship. Following this discovery, Nova dispatched Vex and Cabal troops to recon the site of the ship. However, the task force would learn that the pyramid created spectral beings called Nightmares and the Hive's allegiance and minimal control of these entities. They would also learn about a fleet of Pyramid ships on the edge of the solar system.

Sol Divisive
The Shades in the strike force would also discover that the Vex of the Sol Divisive have started invading the moon. A Shade Captain informed the Chaos Collective of this development, in which the defiant collective discovered that the Undying Mind has been reactivated. The Shades also discovered that Ikora had begun developing a device to fight the Axis Mind. They would replicate the work and would use the machine to kidnap a copy of the Mind while the Guardians faced off against the Sol Divisive's army. They gave the mind to the Collective as a gift, as well as reassurance to their alliance.

Sundial
Sometime after the events on the moon, a group of Black Legion Cabal would reveal that a sizable army of Red Legion Cabal was regrouping on Mercury. They contacted the closest group of Sumeragi troops, which were the Shades, who then informed of this discovery and dispatched them to discover what they were planning. The Shades and Black Legion troops devised a plan for reconnaissance, as well as a way to keep Sumeragi informed without picking up attention from an active Cabal force. The Black Legion would disguise themselves as Red Legion soldiers and would infiltrate the group and learn who is leading them, while the Shades, save for one, observes the situation while one informant would reveal the details of the Red Legion operation to the leaders of Sumeragi about this development. The disguised members of the Black Legion discovered that a triune of Psion Flayers were leading the Red Legion splinter factions. Luckily, the Guardian and their allies managed to put an end to the plans the Psions thanks to Osiris and a device called the Sundial maintaining the victorious outcome of the Red War, as well as saving the legendary Exo Titan, Saint-14.

Seraph Assault
Skalos and his house would then learn that the Red Legion remnants, led by the final sister of the triune, Amtec, planned and attempted to crash the Almighty to the Last City. They informed Nova of this, leading him to command all Sumeragi forces to find a way to stop the Almighty. Merak, a member of the Adeptroid, informed everyone that Rasputin has awoken all of his defenses, and that they have an opportunity to acquire some of its technology. House Shadow, the Darkness Cult and the Black Legion agreed and had deployed some detachments and salvager groups to several locations where Rasputin was active while the Guardians began plans to destroy the Almighty. They managed to acquire several caches of Warmind tech, including the Seven Seraphs weapons.

The Arrival
Suddenly, following the destruction of the Almighty, all branches of Sumeragi reported the arrival of the Pyramid ships on Titan, Io, Mercury and Mars, causing Nova, Skalos, Nikros, Atlas, and Xa'lus to order all troops from those locations to bring back all supplies and equipment and return to Pluto and Neptune where they watched as the Pyramids reversed what the Traveler did. The House of Shadow managed to relocate all their supplies from Mercury and Titan, leaving behind token bases on those locations. Most of the special projects that were either mostly done or halfway completed, which were sent away to secure locations, while the projects that were started or about halfway done were scrapped while the notes, research and innovations for them were sent to Shadow Lair.

House of Salvation
Skalos and his House would finally find Eramis, and would discover that she has made the House of Salvation, a megahouse created from the remnants of Wolves and Devils along with deserters of Dusk. They also discover the Splinters of Darkness that gave them Stasis, as well as the tech that controls the powers, as well as their Brig assault platforms, mirrored after the work of the Kell's Scourge, intriguing them. They would discuss their discoveries to Sumeragi, which Nova quickly orders them to acquire Splinters of Darkness to enhance all Sumeragi members except for the Adeptroid. The House immediately set out for Europa to get these Splinters and acquire the newly created Brig war mech. They managed to acquire many Splinters and Brigs for the House and Sumeragi. Giving the Splinters to the Cult of Darkness, Chaos Collective and the Black Legion, all divisions managed to adeptly wield the dark powers. As for the House, they gained new Stasis powers, which make then made a new, powerful branch of the House: the Ice Wraiths. They also stole the Technocrat's technology, including bulky, yet resilient drones that projected immunity shields. Following the Guardian's raid on the Deep Stone Crypt and the destruction of Taniks, the Abomination, former Splicer Priestess Mryziss would gather some of her most loyal followers and uploaded all of their consciousnesses into modified and enhanced Exo bodies mirrored after Atraks's work, creating the powerful and widely feared Exo Wrath division. They would also locate Taniks, who managed to survive the engagement but was severely wounded and damaged. Thanks to Mryziss' genius and technological insight, they managed to repair him, transforming him into Taniks-1.

Ploy of the War Goddess
Weeks into the Vanguard's war with Eramis's House of Salvation, the factions of Sumeragi would report mysterious energy spikes around the Solar System. Curious about the new developments, House of Shadow leadership would send scouts to investigate these disturbances. Of these scouts were brother and sister Talnak and Althyks, who would be the first of Sumeragi to discover an inert Cryptolith. Following this discovery, Nova would order his armies to research more into these devices. However, when the Darkness Cult would finally uncover their purpose, they all activated, seizing the minds of those around them, turning those who succumbed to the Cryptoliths into mindless, bloodthirsty peons of the Hive God of War and other sister of Oryx, Xivu Arath. Among them was Talnak, whose sister narrowly escaped corruption, as well as other members of the Sumeragi. Forced into a new war, as well as realizing the threat of discovery by these Wrathborn, Nova, as well as members of the Sumeragi inner council, would order their factions into a covert war. While the House of Shadow continued to contend with their puppeted allies, Althyks, in grief from the corruption of her brother, turned to the Cult of Darkness in search for a potential cure, where she would find an alliance with Magister Kur'nal, a disgraced priest. However, instead of a cure, they would, instead, find a means to steal control of the Wrathborn from Xivu Arath, where they first tested this newfound power on Althyks's waylaid brother. Following this exploit, Skalos and Nikros would commend the two unlikely allies and would make them heads of a new branch of Sumeragi, the Rageblooded.

Season of Sumeragi
After the event of Beyond Light, Sumeragi finally decided to reveal themselves and strike. Quickly taking sections of the House of Salvation's territory, they began their assault on the Guardians all over the Solar System. Using all of their weapons, resources and abilities at their disposal, the House of Shadow would conquer a section of the European Dead Zone, half of old China, and a quarter of Russia. Skalos and his children quickly turned an old military base into his main base of operations. The Archons and their Priests and Priestesses turns a number of large churches into either research bases or major ether supply bases. And the Prime Servitor made their home in the massive factories. The Guardians initially launched an assault on them but was quickly pushed back. However, they themselves were starting to be pushed back by strike forces attacking isolated sections of their forces. Eventually, Skalos was forced to fight the Guardians, eventually falling to them due to the help of the House of Light. Luckily, before his battle, Skalos order his forces to retreat the battlefield and return back to their dens and bases, as well as the Sumeragi Headquarters to regroup and evolve. His son, Sakodis took over the House as ordered by his father to do so.

Leadership
The House of Shadow is the most complex house in existence, more so than the House of Dusk. Unlike the triumvirate leadership most other houses have, the House of Shadow has more leadership roles. Kells are the political leader of house, while the Prince, or Princess, is the heir to their throne. The Princes can start their own private military sect called a Clan. Archons are the high priest like most houses, however below are the Priest or Priestess that act as the secondary Archon and heir to the Archon position should the current Archon be killed or incapable of currently serving. Prime Servitors act like the gods of most Houses, however below them are the Sub-Prime which acts like secondary Primes and replacements for the Prime Servitor should the main one be destroyed.

Two years after the Cult of Darkness was formed, they traveled to the solar system to fight the guardians. However, they learned that a group of elite cabals called the Red Legion is in a war with them. So they watched as the Red Legion defeated the Guradians in the early stage of what would be the Red War, but got beaten hard in the later parts of the war. They also discover the Leviathan ship, but decided to be hidden until a time would come to revealed themselves.

Red Aftermath
Meanwhile, a group of Hive soldiers encountered the Sumeragi and House Shadow troops in Hellas Basin, they immediately informed the cult of this development.

Combining their resources with the other, they became the vanguard advance force and religious members.

Scorn Rise
A few months later, an message was intercepted from Reef informing that a prison riot while happening in the Prison of Elder. The Cult weren’t interested until they learned that Riven was Taken during the Taken War, and Savathun’s Hive has control of the Dreaming City. They immediately send dozen of squads of Cult troops to secure a breach head for the rest of the Sumeragi troops. They discover that Quria have trapped the Dreaming City in a three week time-loop.

Recovering Lost Weapons
In the aftermaths of Forsaken, the Cult asked Sumeragi to go to Taken War battlefields to recover either lost troops, weapons, and/or lost commanders for their cult. A few months after, they gathered a large number of lost weapons, Taken War surviving troops, and a small number of commanders that managed to survive. Afterward, they went to the Dreadnought to take control of its system and add it to the Sumeragi fleet, combining it with the Fallen Fleet, Hive Fleet, and Cabal Fleet.

Sorrow of Gahlran

However, due to the nature of the Hive, Stasis was only given to Wizards, Knight, and Ogre. Nikros noticed that Xivu Arath was up to something so he had his Cult keep track of Xivu's brood.

Ploy of the War Goddess
Merely a week into the Vanguard's war with the House of Salvation, members of Sumeragi would all begin detecting strange energy spikes around their bases of operation. Eventually, members of the House of Shadow would discover mysterious, Hive designed structures emanating a strange aura from them. Curious about these strange devices, the Cult would immediately set out to discover what they truly are and what they could be connected to. However, the Cult would discover that these Cryptoliths were beacons for a signal that overrides the minds of those who succumb to it, making them servants of Xivu Arath, as well as her High Celebrant. Before they could get their warning out, however, the devices activated, corrupting any Sumeragi who were too close to these devices. Forced into war, the Cult engaged what was once their allies. However, before the fall of the High Celebrant, an esteemed Fallen scavenger would meet with disgraced Hive Priest Kur'nal, who would ask the disavowed Mage for a cure. However, instead of a cure, the duo would find a means to hijack the signal emanated from the Cryptoliths, turning their once mindless allies back into their friends, however, still bereft of thought. Following this redemption made by the priest, he would be welcomed back into the brood by Nikros himself and would be made the head of a new branch of the Sumeragi, the Rageblooded.

Season of Sumeragi

The Cult, using all of their weapons, resources and abilities at their disposal, took over the Scarlet Keep on the Moon and it’s surrounding area along with a section of Hive territory on the Tangled Shore, and develop an breach head in the European Dead Zone in the territory of the Red Legion. They located an hidden moon base a few dozen miles west of the Scarlet Keep.

Formed from the remnants of the Red Legion and Loyalists deserters, those that left the solar system return to the Cabal Homeworld and report the failure of their mission and the death of the Red Legion leaderships. Seeing the threat, the Cabal council summoned Xa’Lus to lead the remnants. Forming the Black Legion, they have greater tech from the Guardian, Vex and Fallen. They returned to the solar system to learn about the Guardians to see how to defeat them. Sumeragi contacted the Black Legion for an alliance, as well as the chance to beat the Guardians. They reluctantly agreed but ask to leave if Sumeragi fails to beat the Guardians. They are seen in black, and grey armor with an hit of red linings in their armor with spiked shoulders pad.

Black Creation
A week after Ghaul was killed, Xa'Lus, a Primus of the Red Legion saw how truly powerful the Guardians were. So he and an number of Red Legion troops left the Red Legion and formed the Black Legion. They were start out small but quickly gain numbers through stealing supplies from other factions and species and recruiting more Red Legion members and recruited deserters Loyalists troops from Calus.

Mars and Hive
Months later, a group of Black Legion troops were on Mars investigating Red Legion activities. They discovered the Cult of the Darkness and Sumeragi. The Legion told Sumeragi that an new leader of the Red Legion was Val Ca’uor. After Xalus discussed with his Primus’, he decided to join forces with Sumeragi to defeat the Guardians. After Xol was defeated, Xalus sends troops along with the House of Shadow troops to attack Red Legion reinforcements to help the Guardians deal with Ca’uor.

Scorn and Red
A few months later, reports of Red Legion troops imprisonment in the Prison of Elders spurred some to break some of them out. However, a riot in the prison was started before they can do anything. Reports of Cayde-6’s permanent death send Nova into a frenzy and ordered the House of Shadow and Blaco Legion troops, along with Adeptroid to go after reinforcements of the Scorn and prevent them from helping the Scorn Barons.

Armory of Black
A few months later, they were the Armory Forge from the House of Shadow. Using the notes given by the house, they were able to upgrade their weaponry to improve damage. And along with that, they were able to upgrade their armor and vehicles as well. Now, their Slug Shotgun has a charge ability that shoot out a massive Arc energy blast.

Their Lance can be transformed into a whip. Most of the turrets, device, and missile launcher have now been upgraded.

Shadowkeep
They learned from the other branches that the Pyramid Ships that caused the destruction of the Golden Age are returning. Meanwhile, on the moon, the legion saw how the Nightmare performed and wonder if they can use the same beings to bolster their army.

Trinity Time
A squad of Black Legion troops discovered a large contingent of Red Legion troops converging on Mercury around a Sundial device. They found a group of Fallen Shades and informed them of this development. They formed a plan for this situation, the most of the Shades would return to Sumeragi Headquarters to inform them of this while the rest ambush any Red Legion troops heading to Mercury. The Black troops discovered that a trio of Red Legion Psion Flayer is attempting to alter the events of the Red War.

Almighty Seraph
After the event of the Sundial, Sumeragi discovered the Amtec, the fourth sisters of the Flayers triplets, has send the Almighty down to the Last City to destroy it. They also discover that Rasputin has activated the Seraph Bunkers and Towers to destroy it. Merak, a high ranking officer of the Adaptroid, told them that they have an opportunity to acquire the techs in those bunkers. The Black Legion went to some of the bunkers and acquire some tech that provided stronger armors, as well as some Frames to have some cannon fodder troops.

The Darkness arrival
When the Pyramid Ships arrived on Mercury, Mars, Titan and Io, Xa’Lus contacted the outposts stationed at those locations and ordered to return to Sumeragi Headquarters or relocate to a nearby outpost close to those locations. The Black Armory Forge they were given was send back into Sumeragi Headquarters before being relocated to the Black Legion main stronghold, as well as major projects involving the frames and scorpius were send back.

Salvation and Exo
After the Darkness consumed Titan, Io, Mercury and Mars, the Black Legion intercepted a mysterious signal coming from Europa. Surprised to have intel about Eramis again, considering what happened from what they know as she attempted to raid the Tower for SIVA weapons over a year ago. However, they were more surprised, in a good way, to heard about the origin of the Exo located in Europa. They also received the Splinters of Darkness from the House of Shadow, leading them to create a new Legion called the Frost Legion. A few weeks later, after the discovery of the Deep Stone Crypt, they sent a massive regiment of Black Legion troops to create Exo bodies for the Cabal. Days later, they managed to do so, creating the Exo Legion.

Season of Sumeragi
They took over the European Dead Zone as well as the Cosmodrome along with some of the territory of the Nessus Red Legion. After Atlas was defeated, Xa’lus came out and challenged the Guardians, who accepted and was promptly defeated. However, performing Strike after Strike, some of his High Commands were killed. Xa’Lus himself came to fight the Guardians but was killed by them. Prior to the confrontation, Xa’Lus had his Psion made a copy of his mind and upload it into a Exo body.

Overview
The Corrupted were born from Nikros' studies on the Taken themselves. However, he made a mistake; using Void and Darkness as a template, both of these energies collided in on each other and created a new version of Taken. They have new abilities along with their old ones or replaced the old ones with newer abilities. They are also able to revive and corrupt old enemies of the Guardian, granting them new abilities compared to their old ones. They have the same appearance as regular Taken but have a purplish flame and red eyes as a sign of their corruption. They serve Nikros as his loyal servants and reserve force.

Creation
During Nikros experimentation on the Taken, he tried adding Void energy since Void means emptiness and the nature of the Taken is void of all sentient. Instead both powers seems to somehow merged together. Both these energy settled down after a few minutes of intense powers. Nikros cautiously used the new power to summon the Taken, and somehow it did but the Void energy boosted that Taken powers.

Forming the Corrupted
Using the newly created powers, he used it on some of the Taken he has under his command and empowered them to the point of having new abilities. After that, he used it on the corpse of the Consul, who he managed to retrieve after Ghaul’s death. Not only was he revived but also retained his memory. However, he was unable to attack Nikros due to him being a Corrupted.

Red, Dusk, Sol, and Hive Corruption
During the Red War, Nikros had The Consul traveled to different location to revive certain beings back to life as Corrupted. The first was Atheon, who became the Time’s Corruption on Venus. Crota was next in line on the Moon, along with Skolas on Venus. Both becoming the Corrupted Prince and Corrupted Kell respectively. Nikros managed to locate the corpse of Oryx and revive him but Oryx himself lost all memories of himself or his family. Aksis was revived and retained his form he has back in the SIVA Crisis. A few weeks later, Nikros, through great skill of sneaking managed to bring back Ghaul, to the Consul’s delight.

Mercury and Mars
A few weeks after the revival of Ghaul, Nikros send them on Mercury to recover an fallen Vex that could be of great use to the Corrupted. The Consul send Aksis and Ghaul to receive this Vex. Panoptes, became one of the Corrupted Generals. Afterwards, they went to Mars. There, the Corrupted joined Sumeragi on the orders of Nikros.

Scorn of the Thousands
Ever since Nikros learned that Uldron Sov was manipulated into leading the Scorn by Riven, who was Taken during the Taken War, he sent The Consul to the Dreaming City to corrupt Riven and fight against the Scorn in said city. As it turns out, Savathun manipulated Riven into cursing the Dreaming City with Quria creating a three week loop cycles to feed Savathun more power. Since then, the Corrupted have been fighting an covert war against the Scorn and Taken in the Dreaming City.

Lunar Pyramid
Nikros and The Consul learned of the Pyramid Ship in the Moon and told the others back at Sumeragi Headquarters. Nova immediately orders everyone to start reconnaissance missions to see if the Pyramids Ships will return soon.

Black Fleet Arrival
A few months later, after the Vex Invasion of the Moon and the Cabal assault on the Sundial and Last City, the Black Fleet finally came. However, the Corrupted learned that the Darkness is trying to communicate with the Guardians but Savathun has her nephew Nokris performing interference mission on the communications. They have spent a few months fighting against the Taken and corrupting them into their army. They also spy on Eris and her translation of the Darkness messages. After Nokris was defeated in the week that Titan, Io, Mercury and Mars disappeared, they reported what they learned to Nikros, who in turned informed Nova of this report.

Season of Sumeragi:Taken
They went to the EDZ to conquer it to ensure Sumeragi victory. Due to the deaths or defeat of the other branch's leaders, they went in at full force against the Guardians and Cabal stationed there. The comatose Nikros sent the Corrupted into an frenzy, sending several Guardians into medical facilities or death.

Overview
The Shadow Guardians were formed from Guardians that left the Last City to fight the forces of Darkness. They formed dozens of bands of bandits and marauders during the Red War but slowly formed up together in the aftermath of the war. Uldren Sov's actions eventually led those bands to form into a massive coalition of former Guardians, they would eventually find Uldren as a Guardian and trained him as a Guardian. Uldren rose through the ranks, eventually becoming a Vanguard. Uldren reformed the group, selecting three commander to led the Titans, Warlock, and Hunter ranks. They would be found by Nova, asking them to join his group, the Sumeragi. Uldren accepted but warns that if he betrayed them, he would kill him. They are seen in multiple types of armor with a primary colorization of black, grey, and purple.

Leadership
The leadership of Shadow Guardians is largely more complex than the simple command structure of the Last City. Unlike the rule of three the Last City had, the S.G. have multiple former members of the Guardians: Dead Orbit, New Monarchy, and the FWC. Among them are the Iron Lords (or Ladies) who joined. In the leadership, there is the Vanguard position, assumed by Uldren Sov, where he or she rules the entirety of the S.G. Under that are the Commanders, which are leaders of their own classes, Titan, Hunters, or Warlock. Under them are the leaders of Dead Orbit, New Monarchy, and FWC deserters who act as the leaders of the Shadow Guardians main force. The Iron Lords are a separate division that acts as elite guards for Uldren and elite commanders for all Shadow Guardians force.

Overview
Adeptroid are humans who, through mysterious circumstances, gained abilities not related to either the Light or the Darkness. Each of them has an power called Septima, which allows them to use energies never seen before. Among them came a human named Nova, who inspired many into joining him while letting others who didn't leave to parts unknown, giving them an offer to join his group should they feel like they are not going anywhere better.

Command Structure
The military structure is a bit more flexible due to it having multiple Adeptroid being ranked not by age but by skills and intelligence. Their armor is colored either red, orange, yellow, green, blue, purple or pink, referring to what class they serve.
 * SS04-Wormhole: an Adeptroid with the ability to summon portals used to either move to one place to the other, summon troops to the battlefield or displace any enemy hiding behind cover. They wear dark blue armor with glowing light blue highlights and white gloves. They are also seen sitting in a hover-throne with two large mechanical arms.

They can levitate in the air and can summon automated guns that shoot photon projectiles. They wear black and grey armor with green highlights. Their feet have the ability to turn into jets. On their back is a white halo with detachable spearheads that act as lasers cannons.

They are also hermaphroditic. Both versions have black eyes with pink irises, long pale pink hair, and black and white armor with pink highlights. The male version has large pieces of armor on "his" shoulders, and a large, pink, crystal-like spike in "his" crotch. The female version has large armor around "her" hips, and a black armored tail with a large spike at the end.
