The name given to entities wholly corrupted by the pyramids in service to the Darkness is simply the "Shadowkeeper". 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 opaque than the Taken armies commanded by [[Oryx, the Taken King|Oryx]], with eyes of golden fire. They command powers and abilities that are unlike the powers of the Light, based upon the physics of [[paracausality]], and bound completely to the Darkness. | The name given to entities wholly corrupted by the pyramids in service to the Darkness is simply the "Shadowkeeper".

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]]. | 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.

The most notable of these servants is simply The Guardian, hero of the Last City and killer of her many and varied foes. It is unknown how The Guardian finally fell to the Darkness' service but it is believed exposure to Stasis is what hastened their fall, much in the same manner as what happened to Rezyl Azzir. What is known for certain is that, during the war against the Black Fleet, the Guardian slowly and surely grew more erratic, disappearing for weeks on end in pursuit of the City's enemies—and finally, one day after a very lengthily departure, returned at the head of an army by the side of the Black Swordsman and the Angel, and overran Earth's defenses. They personally slew millions of Guardians and civilians where before they had once staunchly defended. | The most notable of these servants is simply The Guardian, hero of the Last City and killer of her many and varied foes.
