- "Ghaul sought a power too weak to jumpstart a broken, dead empire. Which is why he failed. And which is why we will succeed. Seek us out, and you will conceive true power. Then, the Lightbearers will truly know death."
- — Dominus Xaruun
The Neon Wraiths is a research and development detachment distinguishable by their black armor and cyan painting and lights, with a few bearing an icy appearance thanks to the effects of Stasis. Commanded by former Primus Xaruun, the weapons development group splintered off the Red Legion prior to the Red War to freely conduct research on hostile weaponry and tactics to repurpose for themselves. Following the events of Beyond Light, the Legion would utilize some intercepted House of Salvation tech, comms and abducted engineers and begin researching the Darkness and it's paracausal abilities, eventually developing a means of harnessing Stasis much like their Fallen prisoners. They serve as the main antagonists of the Season of Strife.
History
Creation
- "The Red Legion, even with it's numerous resources and advanced tech, simply does not allow innovation to flourish. Even if this plan was successful, pride will get in the way of actual progress. It's time we act on our accord. It's time we make a real change for our people. For the better."
- — Former Red Legion Primus Xaruun
Rise of Opportunities and the Seizing of Them
A Shattered Legion
- "Thumos, old friend, it's not like you for this to happen to you."
"Xaruun? Wh-where am I? What... happened to my people?"
"Exactly what I feared, good friend." - — Xaruun conversing to a hospitalized Thumos
Dark Temptations
- "They have finally reared their ugly head. Whether it's a good thing or a bad thing is Xaruun's decision. Me? As long as it gets our enemies more at each other's throats, I'm more than happy."
- — Bracus Paraquos
One Empire to Another
- "The Fallen on the moon they call "Europa" seemed have begun weaponizing and utilizing the powers of these Pyramids. Perhaps, if we were to get them to talk, we could learn a thing or two from them. Then we will finally achieve what Ghaul childishly pursued. Godhood."
- — Primus Pro'taul
Season of Strife
The Initial Invasion
- "Alright troops, listen up! Now we are finally making our move within this Acrius-forsaken system. We are going to establish a foothold on each and every one of these worlds and push back any hostile entrenched there. Remember: push, box, corner, kill. That's how we win. Here's your objectives..."
- — Intercepted comms from a Neon Wraith Centurion
Pro'taul's Tour
- "Pro'taul is a smart boy. He can guess the gravity of his situation. Hopefully, he finds out the answer before he idiotically gets himself killed in the process."
- — Dominus Xaruun
Dark, Buried Secrets
- "I gave her the moniker, Entrusted, for a reason. I have no doubt Paraquos will pull through for Project Black Horizons. Even if it costs her her own life. She knows that. But I know she doesn't care. And that's why she is a Bracus."
- — Dominus Xaruun
Ploy of the Vengeful Bloodguard
- "Sure, I'm loyal to my good friend and commander, but I don't fight for the Wraiths for honor and glory. I don't fight to finally go home. I fight because I'm going to ensure that, this time, I break someone who broke me."
- — Thumos, Blood of Phantoms
Wrath of the Shattered Tusk
- "The Guardians keep making us look like fools. Like the Sand Eaters. Time to actually make a difference. Get my team on the line. Tell them simply to get to work. They'll know what I'm talking about. They always do."
- — Primus Thru'urn
The Long Slow Whisper
- "In my travel to the Crypt, not only did I accomplish evolution as the Fallen did, but I also found a means to cripple Humanity without utterly destroying them. And I'm on my way to see to it myself."
- — Primus Lho'tam-1
Paradox
The Swordsman's Arrival
- "Our greatest fear has come true. Kirito has awakened."
- — Dominus Xaruun
Following the events of The Witch Queen, after being recruited by the Darkness, Kirito and Asuna rose to power and dispatched the Shadowkeepers across the Solar System, laying waste to countless worlds and slaughtering numerous people, including Zavala and Emperor Calus during the Shadowkeepers Apocalypse, which earned them the Neon Wraiths' desire for revenge. Enraged by their atrocities, the Neon Wraiths led an assault against the Shadow Army in an attempt to prevent the Pyramids from corrupting their world, but were eventually forced to retreat after a close encounter with Kirito and Asuna. Knowing that even their strength wasn't enough to stop them, they formed an alliance with The Last City.
