Forum:Zharves, Shadowcaster of Kirito

"When Kirito and Asuna came, they gave birth to a new future for us. Our kind shall soon usher in a new era of our greatness."

- Zharves, Shadowcaster of Kirito

Zharves, Shadowcaster of Kirito is a Deathsinger to the Hive Shadow Swarm and is one of the highest-ranking and most trusted lieutenants of the dark Shadow Army. A skilled wielder of the Dark and her Deathsong, she is as lethal as she is loyal; a powerful warrior who will stop at nothing to achieve Kirito and Asuna's quest of destruction.

She is the supporting antagonist of the Paradox expansion, having helped Kirito and Asuna kill Zavala and trigger the Shadowkeeper Apocalypse.

The Swordsman's Arrival
Zharves, once a weak Hive Wizard, abandoned the Blood of Oryx and stumbled upon Kirito and Asuna, who found a common interest with her in that they both want revenge on the Traveler for abandoning their people. Upon hearing about their promises about how not only can she succeed where her previous masters failed, but she can also unite the entire Hive under one banner and reign victorious over the Guardians, she accepted their call and joined their leadership.

Attack on Auradon
Shortly after entering Auradon, Zharves, along with Kirito and Asuna's legions of Shadowkeepers and the newly-assembled Shadow Army, launched a high-stakes assault that massacred countless Auradonians, corrupted Mal with the Darkness, and led to the death of Zavala. Having triumphed over the now-dead Zavala, she helped Kirito and Asuna launch the codes for the Darkness's corruptive-matter system, simply known as Lightfall, which summoned waves of malevolent Blights that destroyed everything that Auradon stood for, killed all living beings of Light and civilians of Auradonian blood within it, and turned the entire city into a realm of their ideal birth worlds, officially beginning the Shadowkeepers Apocalypse.

A New Aincrad
Shortly after the Shadowkeepers Apocalypse began, Kirito and Asuna split up the Shadow Army into its six respective groups, one of them being the Shadow Swarm, which she commands. Since then, she helped the Hive lead devastating assaults against The Last City.
