Azure Kite

Azure Flame Kite, also known as Azure Kite and Tri-Edge, is a character from the .hack// series.
== Charactah Account ==
Azure Kite is a player-killer named for the three-line scars he leaves in the background graphics of places where he's taken victims, who go into comas in the real world. Little is known of him, but most players believe he's a small Twin Blade wreathed in blue fire, who never speaks.
Azure Kite's only goal is to defend the system from the cataclysmic threat of AIDA, something he does without particular care for who gets hurt along the way.
Exactly who or what Azure Kite is remains a mystery through Roots and most of the G.U. games but it turns out he's an AI made by Aura to protect the system, and the true Tri-Edge is someone else.

== Trivia ==
* A version of Kite resembling Azure Kite was featured in a three page preview comic of G.U. in the .hack//Legend of the Twilight manga.
* In .hack//XXXX, the real Kite briefly transforms into a form resembling Azure Kite; right down to the swords. His new form is even referred to as the Azure Flame God.
* The distinctive Dual Swords wielded by Azure Kite are named "Empty Skies".
* The armor Azure Kite and his teammates wear is the "Empty Demon Suit" and the accessory they equip is "Empty Eye of Sin." Interestingly, neither he nor either of his teammates will equip any other weapons or accessories, likely due them not (technically) being members of any character class, but rather "incomplete" AIs based on the respective characters.
* Both Azure Kite's English and Japanese voice actors also did the voice of Kite.
* The enigmatic Azure Kite is 5'7" (170 cm) tall.
* After sending the Hobbies Greeting card, Azure Kite replies with "...S%^&er", which is a nod to the original Kite's player's love for Soccer.
* When fighting Azure Kite for the second time, he uses a move that resembles Staccato from the .hack//Games.
* A poll on CyberConnect2's website shows Azure Kite as the third most popular character in .hack//G.U.
