Igris (이그리트) is the shadow of Blood-Red Commander Igris.

Appearance

Igris is a large knight with a light purple glow, jet-black armor covering him from head to toe, a tattered black cape, and a long red hair-like ornament extending out of the back of his helmet. His left eye still bares the scar from Jin-Woo during their battle while in the anime is the right eye that has the scar.

Personality

Igris is loyal, respectful, and chivalrous, to the point that he tends to kneel to his master every time he finishes a battle for him. A running gag with his character is that he always brings the head of his kills back to Jin-Woo, which ultimately became a problem when Iron started to copy him. Much like Jin-Woo, Igris also does not approve of Iron's dumb antics and typically gets irritated whenever Iron goes overboard in battle. In addition, despite his love for battle, Igris believes in the importance of education, as displayed by how he argued with Bellion that Suho would be better off studying in school instead of learning how to fight. Likewise, he is also fond of Suho, as he is pleased thoughtfully when the boy surpassed and defeated him during Suho's training.

History

Igris once served the Shadow Monarch Ashborn during his war with the Rulers eons ago. After Ashborn decided to retire and find a human successor, he tasked Igris with testing his successor in battle when the time was right. After obtaining the Shadow Extraction skill, Jin-Woo successfully used it on BRCI by appealing to his loyal personality. However, as he thought the knight's original name was too long, Jin-Woo decided to simply name the shadow Igris instead. Although he was the first major shadow that Jin-Woo extracted, Igris initially played a minor role in the storyline and his position as Jin-Woo's strongest shadow was eventually taken over first by Tusk and then by Beru. However, after Jin-Woo was reborn as the new Shadow Monarch, Igris obtained his true powers and jumped two grades from Elite Knight to Marshal.

Abilities

As a Marshal Grade ranked shadow, Igris is an immensely powerful individual. He is one of the strongest shadows in Jin-Woo's army and is only rivaled by Beru and surpassed by Bellion. The Frost Monarch, Sillad, stated that with his power now restored, Igris is a troublesome opponent and considers him a greater threat than Beru. Even Jin-Woo's son, Sung Suho, acknowledges Igris as an extraordinary being. During his time under Ashborn's command, Igris was known as one of the "Two Wings" of the army of shadows" Master Swordsman: Igris is extremely skilled at swordsmanship and has eons of experience at wielding blades in battle, making him the strongest swordsman in the shadow army.

He likely would've defeated Jin-Woo had the latter not managed to land on a surprise attack on him at the last second. Immense Strength: Igris possesses immense physical strength, as shown by how he was able to hold off the Frost Monarch on his own long enough for Jin-Woo to return to the battlefield. Immense Speed and Agility: Igris displays extremely fast movements, along with his acrobatic style in evading his enemies in one spot, and blitzed them with his unparalleled speed.
