Overview

The Wraith is a spectral warrior born from the collective sorrow of those who died forgotten. Once a mortal soldier lost in battle, his spirit was consumed by despair and reborn as a being of shadow and silence. Now he wanders between worlds, hunting those who betray the innocent or erase history. Clad in a tattered cloak and wielding a scythe that drinks souls, The Wraith moves without sound, strikes without warning, and vanishes before judgment can be passed. He believes that memory is power—those forgotten deserve no peace. His mission is not destruction, but remembrance. In every fight, he seeks to awaken the past, one soul at a time.

Personality

The Wraith is solemn, introspective, and deeply melancholic. He speaks rarely, and when he does, his voice echoes as if from a distant grave. He views life as fleeting and death as inevitable, yet he fights to ensure no soul fades into oblivion. Despite his grim demeanor, he possesses a quiet compassion—for the weak, the forgotten, the betrayed. He respects strength but despises arrogance and pride. He sees himself not as a monster, but as a guardian of truth. Though he kills, it is never for bloodlust—it is justice for the silenced. His presence brings stillness, and those who face him often feel an overwhelming sense of being watched… by someone who has already died.

Many regard him as a symbol of remembrance in a world that forgets. His popularity continues to rise, especially among fans of supernatural themes and emotional storytelling.
