Empowered by the Darkness, they have led countless sieges against the forces of the [[Light]] and its allies, seeking to claim complete control over the Solar System and usher in a dark new future by recreating the entire universe in the Darkness's image. In the wake of Kirito and Asuna's defeat, they have more recently been utilized by other powerful Darkness-aligned entities, including their son [[Forum:Tatsuyi Kirigaya (Renovated)|Tatsuyi Kirigaya, the Shadow Prince]].

The name given to entities wholly corrupted by the Pyramids in service to the Darkness is simply the "Shadowkeeper," a powerful herald blessed by [[The Witness]] with dark forms of power and sorcery of the highest ranks. There is no distinction between willing servitude and outright enslavement. Members of all six species present in the solar system are among their ranks—[[Humanity|Human]], [[Awoken]], [[Fallen|Eliksni]], [[Cabal]], [[Hive]], and [[Vex]]. Their physical appearance is that of a rippling shadow, more humanoid and opaque than the [[Taken]] armies commanded by [[Oryx, the Taken King|Oryx]], with emerald green eyes of golden fire. They command powers and abilities that are the antithetical opposite of the Light — [[Stasis]], [[Strand]], Entropy, and Fracture.

According to remnants of [[Rasputin]]'s analyses from the First Collapse, there is growing evidence that these beings are wholly artificial, drawn out of the collective psyche of entire racial minds. Examples include the Black Swordsman, otherwise known as Kirito, apparently created wholesale out of an artificial program that had formerly been under Rasputin's prerogative, which in turn had been based upon a [[Wikipedia:Kirito (Sword Art Online)|character]] from a [[Wikipedia:Sword Art Online (2012 TV series)|centuries-old entertainment series]]. This means that they are specially constructed, tailor made even, for each invasion of a targeted species. They supplement the [[Nightmare]]s that soften up resistance to the Pyramids until the main Fleet arrives.
