Commander Igris

27

Commander Igris (formerly Sian Halat) was an exceptionally skilled human knight whose prowess earned him the king's favor but drew the jealousy of nobles. Following a treacherous betrayal where his family was taken hostage, Igris was killed, later becoming a loyal, silent Shadow Soldier for Ashborn, the former Shadow Monarch, before serving Sung Jinwoo. Igris was a renowned, unmatched, and highly honorable knight, whose success made him a target of envious, corrupt officials. During a war, he was forced to surrender when his family and soldiers were taken hostage, and they were murdered in front of him, shattering his loyalty to his kingdom and resulting in his death. After his death, he became an elite member of the original shadow army under Ashborn, known as the "Blood-Red Commander" or Knight of Death. Ashborn tasked Igris with guarding an empty throne room in the Job Change Quest, specifically to test Sung Jinwoo as a potential successor, a mission Igris accepted with sadness as it marked the end of his service to Ashborn. Unlike other summoned shadows, Igris maintains a strict, honorable demeanor, sometimes limiting his own power to ensure a fair fight, reflecting his honorable nature in his past life.
