Harmakan

Being a Demonic Spectre, Harmakan has no true form anyone has seen. When he surfaced during the Jisan Prison breakout, he instead occupied the body of Yamri village's head, a frail and elderly man, hiding his real nature behind that borrowed shell.

Cold, calculating, and hungry for control, Harmakan placed himself at the summit of every power structure he encountered, a belief in natural hierarchy left over from his days as a villain. Even reborn as a shadow he held onto his pride and his urge to compete, refusing to be reduced to a common foot soldier despite serving Suho. That obsession showed in the Haeundae Beach dungeon break at Busan, when he leapt at Suho's challenge to win a captain's rank over his fellow shadow soldiers.

Holding the Elite Knight-Grade among shadows, Harmakan stands at S-Rank Hunter level and draws on a wide arsenal of spells studied from Kandiaru's legacy, a chance discovery in the Spirit Realm that lifted him from mere tribal leader to Grand Shaman and led him to call himself Kandiaru's disciple. His Advanced Gate Creation lets him open gates with unusual precision and scale, and he later forged one whose far end opened onto the Sea of the Afterlife so Suho's group could reach the World Tree. Restoration heals through chanting, while his Illusion Magic, fueled by human souls, can mask an entire village, as he did with Yamri to make it look ordinary from outside. Through Necromancy he turns corrupted souls into as many as a hundred Death Knights, each bound in cursed armor that torments the spirit within, since for a Death Knight pain itself becomes strength. He can also raise Giant Hands from the ground to hoist buildings or fling buses, and his Instant Dungeon Activation warps a dimension into a Reverse World, a mirror-like realm escapable only by defeating him or using a hearthstone. His Mirage drags out a target's most terrifying memories, and against Xavier he boosted it by drawing on the Frigid Blizzard skill belonging to Suho.

His curses round out his threat. Damage Amplification raises the harm his targets take until even ordinary hits land as critical wounds, and Exploitation, triggered by the chant about death descending, restores HP equal to two percent of the damage he deals. Thorn of Pain reflects every wound and ache he suffers onto whoever struck him, a self-inflicted curse he cannot nullify yet stacks alongside Exploitation and Damage Amplification to devastating result, and it can even bless allies, synergizing well with the Shadow Soldiers. Provocation of the Damned drives nearby foes to burn with hostility toward him. Kandiaru's Blessing, however, can overcome his curses, and he ultimately died to Suho.
