{{quote|I am Setak, great advisor to the Osmium King and his court. I watched as the endless storms raged against the Fundament. I bid my time by training the youngest of the King's daughters to hunt the Bait Stars that sought our frail forms.|Setak}}


Shin'ra, born as Setak, was a proto-Hive Krill on [[Fundament]] in the [[Osmium Court]]. He was nothing more than a mere scribe and advisor to the [[Osmium King]]. He would be a secondary teacher to the daughters of the Osmium King and favored the youngest, [[Xivu Arath, God of War|Xiro]], as she would become his prized pupil. He would help to teach her to catch the Bait Stars that threatened the weak Krill with his own special form of cunning, and to study and strategize the enemy's movements.

He would help to teach her to catch the Bait Stars that threatened the weak Krill with his own special form of cunning, and that be to study and strategize the enemy's movements.


When the Osmium King reached the end of his ten-year lifespan, Setak sought to study his madness by navigating the royal orrery and understand the words of the dead [[Worm]] familiar. He would fall into the influence of the [[The Witness|Witness]], believing that a great cataclysm would befall the Fundament, the Syzygy. Its whispers would also tell them of the great lie that he would have to take part in. The whispers would direct him to help the daughters of the Osmium King to flee the court on a small craft while he stood behind. Shortly thereafter, Setak would flee from the Osmium Court towards [[Kaharn Atoll]] to find the means to escape the Fundament.  
When the Osmium King reached the end of his ten-year lifespan, Setak sought to study his madness by navigating the royal orrery and understand the words of the dead [[Worm]] familiar. He would fall into the influence of the same lies of the [[The Witness|Witness]], believing that a great cataclysm would befall the Fundament, the Syzygy. These whispers would also tell them of the greater lie that he would have to take part in. These whispers would direct him to help the daughters of the Osmium King to flee the court on a small craft while he stood behind. Shortly thereafter, Setak would flee from the Osmium Court towards [[Kaharn Atoll]] to find the means to escape the Fundament.  


Prior to the Hive's emergence in the Fundament, Setak would reach the end of his ten year lifespan and had grown senile, much like the Osmium King before. Called a mad hermit by those at Kaharn, he still held onto what little remained of his sanity, believing that there was still a fragment of hope left for his people to survive the cataclysm that would shortly follow, the Hive.

Eventually, when the Hive arose from the depths of the Fundament, many tried to flee to Kaharn as a means to escape, Setak among them. However, when the Hive reached Kaharn, many of the proto-species fell to the power of Auryx, Savathûn and Xivu Arath. Being the last survivor and at the height of his madness, Auryx held sympathy for the one who helped his sisters to escape the Helium Drinkers and would offer Setak one of the Worm larvae, which the Osmium Advisor would ingest and take the Maker morph and new name, Shin'ra.

However, when the Hive reached Kaharn, many of the proto-species fell to the power of Auryx, Savathûn and Xivu Arath.

Holding sympathy for the one who helped his sisters to escape the Helium Drinkers, Auryx offered Setak one of the Worm larvae, which the Osmium Advisor would ingest and take his morph and new name, Shin'ra.  


Setak, now Shin'ra, would live to serve Auryx and act as his advisor when invading the rest of the Fundament and its many moons. When Auryx first invaded the Ammonites, he sought amnesty with them. Shin'ra saw this as weakness, allowing Savathûn to kill him. In his time in the Ascendant Plane, Shin'ra made it his mission to conquer the Ammonites and sought to gift the corpse of the Leviathan as tribute to the Worm Gods. He earned a reputation during this campaign one the battlefield with many Darkblades bearing war paint based on Shin'ra's own appearance.

When Auryx returned from death, Shin'ra would learn of the Ascendant Realm from Auryx and its ability to survive death in the mortal plane. Shin'ra would construct a Throne World of his own, the [[Forum:High Forge|High Forge]], seeing it as his vision remaking the universe in his own image. He would take the moniker as the '''Hive God of Forge''', seeking to construct and build new weapons for the Hive to wield in order to conquer the stars.

When the Leviathan fell, Shin'ra would what remained of it into a new form, forming a monstrous Tomb Carrier he would call the Nephilim. He would use the Nephilim to continue his conquests across the universe and return back to the service of Auryx and his sisters.
===Campaign of Conquest===
 
===Greater Truth===
====Understanding the Deep====
{{quote|There was a voice in the Deep. One without form as it took that of mine. The Witness. A chorus of the slain made manifest|Shin'ra detailing his first encounter with the Witness.}}
 
Shin'ra would be present in the Hive's war against the [[Harmony]], destroying their many vessels and successfully conquering their Wishful Bishops compared to Xivu Arath who struggled against them. When Oryx toppled the [[Gift Mast]] and offered its pieces to his broods, Shin'ra would take one of these fragments for study. He would use the fragment as a basis for what would later be known as the '''[[Weapons of Sorrow]]''', while the shard itself would be known as the ''Lucent Armament'', the basis for the Weapons of Sorrow's antithesis, the ''Weapons of Hope''.
 
Along with creating the basis of both the Weapons of Sorrow and Hope, he would eventually learn to master the former's corrupting potential, and being the first to fully master the newfound Darkness element, [[Forum:Corruption (element)|Corruption]]. He would use this as a means to understand the truth of the Deep, eventually communing with the entity known as the Witness. For an unknown amount of time, the two would discuss their plans for the universe as Shin'ra would declare himself as the Witness' herald and it would instruct him to conquer the species known as the Nadheal and Ussatan.
 
====Fall of the Nadheal====
====Fall of the Nadheal====
{{Quote|Acaeleon of the Nadheal proved himself a champion to his people. They in turn were blasphemous and turned against one another against its practice. Acaeleon was one of them who fell to such praxis.|Shin'ra}}
{{Quote|Acaeleon of the Nadheal proved himself a champion to his people. They in turn were blasphemous and turned against one another against its practice. Acaeleon was one of them who fell to such praxis.|Shin'ra}}
The Nadheal were a highly advanced race of bipedal arthropods that were once graced by the Traveler's presence. Their technological prowess exceeded Golden Age Humanity, establishing colonies across their home system and even beyond. Shin'ra made it his mission to corrupt the Nadheal from within, similar to how Savathûn had done to her many victims. Shin'ra would begin to spread the seeds of doubt within the governing body of the Nadheal species by the time the Traveler had left their home world.

His actions would create a death cult under the command of his vassal, [[Forum:Acaeleon, Vassal to Shin'ra|Acaeleon]]. This death cult would begin sacrifices as a means to return the Traveler back to the Nadheal, however this was only a clever rouse by Shin'ra to tithe their deaths to him instead. This death cult would persist through several years as the God of Forge slowly began to reveal himself to Acaeleon, promising to offer a greater power than the Traveler ever could.

This death cult would persist through several years as the God of Forge slowly began to reveal himself to Acaeleon, promising to offer a greater power than the Traveler ever could.  


Fully under the thrall of the Hive God, Acaeleon would instigate a galactic scale civil war in the Nadheal home system. Their various colonies burned and destroyed and their capital in ruins with all that remained of their civilization forced to live on large cruisers for survival. Even under the control of Shin'ra, Acaeleon doubted his own actions and the destruction of his people. His doubt invoked Shin'ra to appear before him, declaring that he was unworthy of the power he sought to gift. He would then stab the weakened Nadheal with his blackened blade, and the power of the Hive corruption spread throughout his body, leaving it as a shriveling corpse. Shin'ra would have his followers destroy any that remained of the Nadheal people, including their home world.

====Destruction of the Ussatan====
====Destruction of the Ussatan====
Line 122: Line 108:
The God of Forge would come across another species, the tribal Ussatan. They were known to have worshipped the star of their home system which was their source of sustenance and worshipped it as their god. They were a warrior race separated in tribes and followed a caste system, with the leaders of each tribe being their mightiest warriors.

They were known to have worshipped the star of their home system which was their source of sustenance and worshipped it as their god. They were a warrior race separated in tribes and followed a caste system, with the leaders of each tribe being their mightiest warriors.  


When Shin'ra descended upon the Ussatan home world, he would blot out the planet from its star, starving the species of their crops and resources produced by the star's light. After several days, he launched [[Seeder Ship]]s onto the planet to not only destroy the landscape and devastate the tribal homes, but to launch a ground invasion by unleashing the stowed Hive from within the Seeder Ships. The conquest would only last a day as the Ussatan did not last against Shin'ra's strategies and the power the Hive held.

The conquest would only last a day as the Ussatan did not last against Shin'ra's strategies and the power the Hive held.
 
Though his conquests proved a failure, he chose to convene with the Witness and discuss with it their next plan of action. Despite his failure, the Witness addressed that he must stick back to the basics and begin his hunt for what remained of the Leviathans and traitor Worms. 


====Hunting the Leviathans====

{{quote|The Leviathans.<br>They will be hunted down to the very last.<br>And I will bask in that glorious victory and drink from their blood|Shin'ra's command to hunt the Leviathans}}
{{quote|The Leviathans.<br>They will be hunted down to the very last.<br>And I will bask in that glorious victory and drink from their blood|Shin'ra's command to hunt the Leviathans}}
During the Hunt of the Leviathans, Shin'ra entrusted some of his own soldiers, which he would emerged to as [[Forum:Celebrant of Shin'ra|his Celebrants]], to hunt down the Leviathans by plunging into the depths of various worlds to root out any that remained. Many Leviathans would be slaughtered and offered to Shin'ra for tribute to satiate his hunger for the hunt. Their corpses would be molded into his Tomb Carrier, strengthening its defenses and increasing its size exponentially, making it it near unconquerable warship.  
In between the years of conquest of the Ammonites and the Harmony, Shin'ra tasked himself with hunting down any remaining Proto-Worms or Leviathans that remained from the Fundament's bloodbath. He tasked [[Forum:Celebrant of Shin'ra|his Celebrants]] to hunt down these traitors by plunging into the depths of various worlds to root out any remaining Leviathans. Many Leviathans would be slaughtered and offered to Shin'ra for tribute to satiate his hunger for the hunt. Using the various Worm corpses, Shin'ra would meld them together, forming a monstrous Tomb Carrier he would call the Nephilim. He would use the Nephilim to continue his conquests across the universe and return back to the service of Auryx and his sisters.


His successes with hunting the Leviathans would help to earn the Witness's favor to Shin'ra once again. It believed at that point in time, belibed that the Maker was worthy enough to look after the Darkness progenitor, the [[The Veil|Veil]]. Shin'ra would place the Veil deep within the Nephilim's vaults, believing that its intense Darkness would fortify his ship from the inside, and he could continue his studies of the paracausal.
===Greater Truth===
====Understanding the Deep====
Shin'ra would be present in the Hive's war against the [[Harmony]], destroying their many vessels and successfully conquering their Wishful Bishops compared to Xivu Arath who struggled against them. When Oryx toppled the [[Gift Mast]] and offered its pieces to his broods, Shin'ra would take one of these fragments for study. He would use the fragment as a basis for what would later be known as the '''[[Weapons of Sorrow]]''', while the shard itself would be known as the ''Lucent Armament'', the basis for the Weapons of Sorrow's antithesis, the ''Weapons of Hope''.
 
Along with creating the basis of both the Weapons of Sorrow and Hope, he would eventually learn to master the former's corrupting potential, and being the first to fully master the newfound Darkness element, [[Forum:Corruption (element)|Corruption]]. His studies of the Light and Dark would bring the attention of the Witness to Shin'ra, who would believe that the Maker was worthy to look after the Darkness progenitor, the [[The Veil|Veil]]. Shin'ra would place the Veil deep within the Nephilim's vaults, believing that its intense Darkness would fortify his ship from the inside, and he could continue his studies of the paracausal.

Shin'ra would openly reveal himself following the death of the [[High Celebrant of Xivu Arath]] and send his High Conjurer, [[Forum:An Irvask, High Conjurer|An Irvask]] to consolidate the [[Wrathborn]] in the [[European Dead Zone]] and use them as tribute, while he himself met the [[Hidden Swarm]] on the [[Moon]] to consolidate their forces into the Weavers of Sorrow. The Guardians would learn of An Irvask's plans on Earth, destroy a [[Forum:Wrathborn Walker|Wrathborn Walker]], and eventually finding the High Conjurer in the [[Scavenger's Den]] and killing them.

The Guardians would then locate Shin'ra's congregation on Luna and attempt to put a stop to it. The God of Forge would hold them off by sending some of his elite Hive while he continued to poison the minds of the Hidden Swarm, eventually having to face the Guardians head on. Instead of fighting them, he would taunt the Guardians, declaring that his conquest was inevitable and fleeing from the scene after summoning forth his [[Forum:Sorrow's Eye, Seeker for Shin'ra|Seeker]].

Even though the Guardians would learn of his plans to consolidate the Sol System Hive, he would continue on with his greater plans at large by sending three members of the Court of Sorrow, [[Forum:Ir Abzûl, the Cryptkeeper|Ir Abzûl, the Cryptkeeper]], [[Forum:Kramûc, the Huntsman|Kramûc, the Huntsman]], and [[Forum:Davaj, the Blademaster|Davaj, the Blademaster]] to the European Dead Zone, the [[Tangled Shore]] and the Moon respectively to establish footholds for the Weavers. Afterwards, he would learn of the Guardian's infiltration of the Nephilim and their acquisition of Corruption as their new Darkness element. He would attempt to stop them by sending forth some of his more powerful champions, including skilled users of Corruption. They would eventually fall to the Guardians, angering Shin'ra greatly and began to pull much of his resources to reinforce his commanders for the battles to come.

After Ir Abzûl, Kramûc and Davaj fell to the Guardians, Shin'ra took a last ditch effort decision to command Jirâth to take command of the Weaver's Hive and Taken forces to begin a full on assault on inner Sol. The Guardians would infiltrate the Nephilim to defeat Jirgâth before this plan would come to fruition. There they would meet Shin'ra once again, empowering the Warpriest with more of his power to end the Lightbearer threat. Jirgâth would fail to defeat the Guardians, becoming another victim to their slaughter, forcing Shin'ra to continue his consolidation within his citadel.

Line 166: Line 154:


After the events of Season of Sorrow, the [[Vanguard]] would classify Shin'ra as '''VIP #6942''' and '''SMS-000''', along with being a potential threat to Hive reunification following the excommunication of Savathûn from the rest of the Hive. Eris Morn would even consider him to be a potential threat to the Taken Throne and a rival to Xivu Arath herself.

Eris Morn would even consider him to be a potential threat to the Taken Throne and a rival to Xivu Arath herself.
====The Subjugated Vault====
During the events of the [[Endless Night]], both Eris and Shin sought to investigate further into the depths of the Nephilim, locating the prison of the [[Forum:Subjugated Vault|Subjugated Vault]]. They would also understand that Shin'ra had reconstituted his physical form to continue his watch over it.
Eris and Shin would send fireteams of Guardians to breach into the Vault to put an end to the suffering brought upon the prisoners by Shin'ra and his followers. While investigating the Vault, they would learn that the prisoners were collected throughout the years and were used as personal entertain for Shin'ra, along with a means to test his own weapons and use their conflict to feed him tribute.


====Abhorrent Alliance====
====Abhorrent Alliance====
Shin'ra, seeking to gather tribute from the Hive Lightbearers of the [[Lucent Brood]] from the events of the [[Lucent War]] and seeking to build an alliance with the [[Forum:Abhorrent Brood|Abhorrent Brood]], he would attempt bring the [[Ghost]]s of dead Lightbearers from the former in order to create an alliance with the latter. The Abhorrent Brood would assist with constructing a portal into the Maker's Ascendant Realm for Shin'ra himself to bring the tributes of Light to the Hive of the [[Cosmodrome]].
His plans wouldn't be found out until the Hive of the Lucent Brood began to [[PsiOps Battleground: Cosmodrome|invade]] the Cosmodrome in order to purify the Light from captured Guardians within the EDZ. Guardians would detect the massive ritual within the depths of the Cosmodrome, initiating a [[Forum:Takedown|Takedown]] to [[Forum:Takedown in the Abhorrent Depths|end]] the alliance.
Both forces of the Abhorrent Brood and Weavers of Sorrow would face against the team of Guardians with many of their champions slain in the process. In a final gambit, Shin'ra would send one of his ambassadors to see to it that the alliance was to be completed at all cost as he knew risk if said alliance wasn't to go through. The Guardians would defeat them and the portal was left closed. This failure infuriated the leaders of the Abhorrent Brood that demanded tribute for his failure to offer the Light of dead Hive Lightbearers, from which he promised that they would get what they were owed.
====Search for the Relics====
Several months after the failed alliance, Shin'ra and his forces were directed by the Witness to assist [[Eramis, Kell of Darkness|Eramis]] and the Old Crews to locate the reliquaries containing the fragments of [[Nezarec, Final God of Pain|Nezarec]]. Hesitant to reclaim the pieces of the Disciple that took his role of the custodian of the Veil, he would direct his forces across the Themis Cluster to find the relics.
He would have his forces invade various pirate hideouts of both Fallen and Cabal and claim at least three relics, containing a finger, an eye and a fang respectively. Forces of the Coalition would take wind of this and locate the invaded hideouts and take out the commanders originally sent by Shin'ra and retake the relics. This deeply angered the Forge God who saw to take vengeance out on Eramis and her [[Riis-Reborn|Fallen city]] for the failure, rather than his own Hive.
====Hunting Ahsa====
When [[Titan (moon)|Titan]] mysteriously returned from Darkness, Shin'ra took it upon himself to investigate its reappearance into Sol himself. He would discover the emergence of one of the last Worms, [[Ahsa]], and sought to capture her to make up for his past failures against the Guardians. He would send his Celebrants across the surface to locate Ahsa, strengthening them with reinforced armor and depth breathing spells to scour the Titanian seas.
While investigating the depths of the [[New Pacific Arcology]], the Celebrants would discover something of great importance, something that Shin'ra must see for himself. Reaching the [[Ghosts of the Deep (location)|dark hovel]] near the depths of Titan, he would discover the corpse of Oryx, the Taken King, still growing but unconscious. He would take this discovery to Xivu Arath, who was outraged at the recent revelation, and sought to take his corpse to be properly buried, only for the forces of the Lucent Brood to crash [[Wreckage|one]] of their warships near Oryx's corpse and try to resurrect him with Necromancy and Light of a [[Ghost]] and the Guardians successfully taking Oryx's remains to be locked up within one of the Tower's vaults.
Shin'ra would make one of his grander attempts to claim Ahsa's life by having his Celebrants unite to conduct a massive ritual to take her. Xivu Arath would learn about the Forge God's plan, and out of an act of anger for the death of Oryx, she would successfully move Ahsa to a separate ritual site first. Her [[Barotrauma|attempt]] to take the Proto-Worm would fail, with Shin'ra warning her that if she were to cross him again, he would send his entire army after her within her throne world.
====Silver Winged Temple====
Prior to Eris' ascension as the God of Vengeance, Shin'ra would take his time to make up for the failure to make the alliance with the Abhorrent Brood and the taking of Ahsa by c stealing power from the [[Tree of Silver Wings]] on [[Io]]. He would send his most elite servants of the Cult of Unmaking to lay siege to he region and to build what he would call the [[Forum:Temple of Exultation (location)|Temple of Exultation]] to siphon the Tree of its Light and Darkness. He would appoint Xurgen, a newly joined member of the Cult and the one responsible for killing most of the inhabitants of Io after it was Taken by the Witness, to see to the construction of the Temple.
In a bid to gain more power, and a means to test the strength of the Cult, Shin'ra would bring Io back into Sol in order to get the attention of the Guardians, knowing that their lust for weapons and armor would empower him. As Guardians would break through the defenses of the Temple and kill the Ionian Scourge, Shin'ra would send more members of the Cult, including its leader Storgor, to retake control over the Temple. When the Great Shatterer fell, Shin'ra would openly speak to the Lightbearers, taunting them of their efforts, claiming that their actions would only empower him and declaring that he would continue to send his forces to take back the Temple and claim its empowering Light and Darkness.
====Corruption of the Dreaming City====
When the Guardians sought to make the fifteenth wish to [[Riven]] after the excommunication of Xivu Arath from her throne world, the Forge God would intervene by sending a massive force of the Weavers into the Dreaming City, spreading the influence of Corruption into its halls and the lair of the Ahamkara. His actions would also gain the attention of the Cabal's [[Forum:Golden Legion|Golden Legion]], who would build massive barricades surrounding the Dreaming City within the Reef, staging the events of the [[Forum:Golden War|Golden War]].
The Forge God would also take this opportunity to claim the remains of Xivu's forces, Taking the dead champions of the War God and claiming [[Forum:Kelgorath, Risen from Bones|Kelgorath]] as his own to lay siege to the Dreaming City. He would empower Kelgorath with Corruption, using him as the foundation of his plans.
After many weeks of fighting against the Weavers, Golden Legion Cabal and taking down the Cabal [[Forum:Aetas Imperium|flagship]], the Guardians of the Last City would begin preparations to end Shin'ra's plans and make the fifteenth wish to the last of the Ahamkara. The Forge God would task Kelgorath to head straight into the heart of the Dreaming City, the [[Keep of Voices]], and use the spire to finish the corruption of the Dreaming City. Breaching into the Keep of Voices, the Guardians would fight against the Corruption empowered Kelgorath and defeat him. Shin'ra would briefly appear before the Guardians, only to be fended off by [[Mara Sov]] and the projection of [[Riven]], casting the Forge God back into his throne world, ending his plans for corrupting the Dreaming City.
===Disciple's Ascension===
====Siege of the Last City====
As Guardians would begin their final preparations to entire into the Pale Heart, the Witness would task Shin'ra to hold back their efforts in order to complete the Final Shape. From the safety of his throne world, Shin'ra would send his Hive, Taken and House of Salvation Fallen to invade the [[Last City]] by using the remaining ships of the Black Fleet that didn’t join the Witness. In the process of tbh is invasion, he would use newly created Taken units like Taken Marauders, Gladiators, Psion Flayers, Vanquishers, Harpies, Cyclopses and Tormentors into the Last City territories. He would also use his [[Forum:Aspect of Shin'ra|Aspects]] to destroy their defenses.
Despite his failure to destroy the Last City, his efforts were not in vein as the Witness was mere moments before completing the Final Shape. It would commune with Shin'ra and finally ascend him as one of its Disciples. The First Hive Disciple would then join the Witness in the Pale Heart as a means of defense, knowing that the Guardians would soon arrive.
====The Final Shape====
Despite not appearing before the Guardians in the Pale Heart, he would puppeteer the events from the shadows. His own influence would begin to show his own forces being encountered in the Pale Heart and the appearance of the [[Forum:Templar (unit)|Templars]], Darkblade-like units of the [[The Dread|Dread]] who were once his Celebrants remade in the image of Shin'ra, and would be used in defense of the Witness's strongholds.
====Abandoning the Witness====
When the Witness was [[Iconoclasm|initially]] excised from three of its dissenting minds, Shin'ra finally took the chance to abandon the Witness and pull his remaining forces and Dread warriors from the Pale Heart. Shin'ra would consolidate his forces deep within the Nephilim, which around the same time, a Ghost by the name of Adrian would investigate the Nephilim and study further effects of the Darkness and its connection to Corruption. As the Guardians searched for the lost Ghost, they would have to go into Warpriest's Keep and hunt down the now resurrected Jirgâth. After finding the whereabouts of Adrian, the Ghost had unintentionally left behind some telemetry that he gathered while exploring the Nephilim. Shin'ra was gathering his forces en masse due to Xivu Arath's excommunication by accumulating and offering her remaining Wrathborn to the Hive Disciple and use that tribute to claim the Hive throne. They would also understand that Shin'ra's forces were trying to locate a device or structure known as the [[Forum:Hadium Forge|Hadium Forge]]. 
After the Witness's death, the forces of the Last City would rejoice, despite the fact that its death would leave a massive power vacuum in its wake. As its remaining forces would continue on with enacting the Final Shape to their own ends, Shin'ra sought the power that would come from the Witness's death, the [[Echo (object)|Echoes]], believing that one alone could be used to enact his own plans for a Final Shape.
====Hunt for the Echoes====


==Personality and traits==
==Personality and traits==
Much like the Oryx and Savathûn, Shin'ra is seen as subtle and confidant in his tactics of conducting war and conquest when compared to Xivu Arath's more bloodthirsty tactics. He actively lets events play out rather than intervene, believing that corruption exists everywhere, even in the most uncommon places. Whenever he does act out on his own accord, he tests those against his own cunning nature, studying the movements of others to determine their next move. The mixture of his cunning and knowledge on war has led him to a multitude of successful sieges across the universe and the vigorous hunts of the Leviathans.

The mixture of his cunning and knowledge on war has led him to a multitude of successful sieges across the universe and the vigorous hunts of the Leviathans.  


He has also determined that through his connection as the Hive God of Forge, those that conduct war and conquest, they feed him tribute and worship him with the very weapons they wield. He has proven this with his campaigns against the Nadheal and the Ussatan by turning their own weapons against them. He had even claimed that when the Guardians had killed them, they had become his mightiest worshippers and devote students of the Sword Logic. During the events of the Temple of Exultation, he proclaimed to the Guardians that their actions would continue to fuel himself in his future schemes and if they would fail, they would have to suffer the loss of their City by his hands.

His overconfidence however has proven to be one of his weaknesses, as seen in [[Forum:Season of Sorrow|Season of Sorrow]], where he believed his power would inevitably lead to the corruption of the Guardians, only for his ambitions to fall short when they managed to channel the dark powers of Corruption for themselves. He would show his desperation for conquest when he tried to assist his Warpriest, Jirgâth, before his own demise. When he had failed, he funneled his resources to Zâtrox's scheme to resurrect the dead Court of Sorrow to reignite the conquest, proving to be yet another failure. He would show his frustrations when the Guardians would assault his forces when they slaughtered his Hive during his communion with the Abhorrent Brood, which caused him to lose not only the alliance, but a great deal of tribute.

Unlike the other ideas of the Final Shape, Shin'ra believes in what is known as Perfection Eternal, a perfect universe where all exist in his own twisted vision of living forever. Despite his nature to conduct war and a Hive, he believes in the anatomical perfection of a separate stillness compared to the Witness's. Because of this, he knew that the Witness's Final Shape was a flawed piece, something that he took note of even before becoming a Hive and how it had manipulated the Krill to kill and devour each other through the Sword Logic and had become blind by the violence of the First Knife.

===The Sorrow-Maker===
===The Sorrow-Maker===
Shin'ra serves as the final boss of [[Forum:The Sorrow-Maker (mission)|The Sorrow-Maker]] mission where his might in combat is shown at full force. Much like Crota, Zulmak and the Leviathan-Eater, he will fire {{Fanfic Icon|Corruption}} Corruption Blasts at players from a distance. Wielding a Darkblade Axe, to will close in on players and crush them with it at great force. He also has the ability to Shadow Vanish, temporarily dissatisfied and quickly reappear in a different point of the arena, disorienting the players so that he may strike at them. He will occasionally taunt the Guardian and swing his axe upwards, sending a wave of Corruption towards the players, causing massive and lingering damage. He will occasionally summon in Hive and Taken reinforcements to batter down the Guardians while he continues to fight them from a distance.

He will occasionally taunt the Guardian and swing his sword upwards, sending a wave of Corruption towards the players, causing massive and lingering damage. He will occasionally summon in Hive and Taken reinforcements to batter down the Guardians while he continues to fight them from a distance.  


Once he reaches low health, Shin'ra's helmet will fall off, revealing a Darkblade-like face with the green glow of Corruption flowing through him. He will instantly teleport them into the Ascendant Plane and will change tactics by charging at the players and slamming his axe at them, leaving lingering pools of Corruption behind him. There he will exclusively summon in Cleaver wielding Knights and Taken Knights to back him up until he dies.
In his second phase, Shin'ra's helmet fallen off, revealing a Darkblade-like face with the green glow of Corruption flowing through him.
