### Grease

Millia loved her father and held onto the locket of the two of them for her dear life. So much so that her arm merged into her torso just from holding tightly onto her precious treasure.

### Alexia Midgar

Although mutated and in immense pain from the possession, Millia was self-aware enough to prioritize freeing Alexia before making her own escape.

### Akane Nishino

Millia and Akane joined about the same time, becoming contemporaries once recruited, but had a language barrier due to Akane's alien origin. Like Millia, Akane was healed directly by Shadow.

However, she does seem to hold some fear for Akane for an unexplained reason, as she immediately ran out of her room when it was revealed that the 2 would be cohabitating during their stay at Alexandria.

### Shadow

Although Shadow killed her father three years before her defection, Millia most likely holds her savior in high regard similar to all Shadow Garden.

89
--

## Debut

### Anime

Episode 20 (Cameo)

**89** (?) is a member of the Shadow Garden, being one of the Numbers. She serves as a gatekeeper who other Nameless Numbers must defeat to earn the right to challenge a Named Number for their rank.

## Appearance

In the Anime, 89 is depicted as an Elf woman with brunette hair, a standard Slime Bodysuit and dark eyes, likely in her late teens.

## Personality

Little is known of 89's character, other than she is a gatekeeper within the first 100 numbers.

## Chronology

### Background

559 once challenged 89 to fight her, so she could have the right to challenge Numbers. Knowing that 559 had just joined the organization recently and the difference in numbers was over four hundred gaps, then she shouldn't have a chance of winning. But 559 had won with an extraordinary victory against her and 89 gave her the right to challenge the Numbers, even the high-ranking "Named Numbers."

## Powers & Abilities

As a member of Shadow Garden, 89 has training and combat experience surpassing the skills of a first-rate dark knight. This includes swordsmanship, magical prowess, melee combat, and espionage. As she is one of the first 100 Numbers, she holds seniority and authority over the newcomers who joined following the membership surge to 600+ thanks to Eta's Locator of Possess. However, she was inevitably defeated by 559, who was endowed power by Shadow himself.

## Relationships

### Shadow

Like all within Shadow Garden, 89 reveres their founder and works to accomplish the mission of Shadow Garden by eliminating the Cult of Diablos.

### Victoria / 559

As 89 is 559's senior, she holds authority over the newcomer. However, 559 challenged 89 for the right to challenge the Named Numbers for their ranks. Despite being her superior and senior, 89 lost a duel to 559.

## Trivia

* In Episode 20, 89 cameos with 559 during their fight, as Alpha brings Rose Oriana to Lambda.
* This is confirmed by 664 in Episode 29 while she and her team infiltrate Oriana Kingdom.

Light Novel

***The Eminence in Shadow*** is a Japanese published Light Novel written by Daisuke Aizawa and illustrated by Touzai (東西). This story is about a boy named Cid Kagenou, a person who has always looked up to the heroes that work in the shadows of society. In an unfortunate accident, he is reborn in a world of magic, so he uses his vast knowledge of martial arts and training discipline to become a power in the shadows. With the members of Shadow Garden, he unwittingly works to stop the Cult of Diablos and their diabolical plans.

The light novel is published in Japanese by Kadokawa and in English by Yen Press LLC.

## Synopsis

**One big fat lie and a few twisted truths**

Even in his past life, Cid's dream wasn't to become a protagonist or a final boss. He'd rather lie low as a minor character until it's prime time to reveal he's a mastermind...or at least, do the next best thing-pretend to be one! And now that he's been reborn into another world, he's ready to set the perfect conditions to live out his dreams to the fullest. Armed with his overactive imagination, Cid jokingly recruits members to his organization and makes up a whole backstory about an evil cult that they need to take down. Well, as luck would have it, these imaginary adversaries turn out to be the real deal-and everyone knows the truth but him!

## Trivia

* The light novel follows the web novel from volume 1 to volume 3, which stops at chapter 142 of the web novel. From volume 4, the story diverges from the web novel to a completely different plot.
	+ The reason for the story change in the Light Novel is that the author looked upon the criticisms the readers had against Cid's actions during the *Great Trading Company Conflict* arc and decided to make necessary changes in Volume 3 of the Light Novel, giving Cid adaptational heroism where he maintains his idiot hero persona and that his actions were the result of obliviousness and not a negative intent.[CITATION NEEDED]

Maai

***Stub:*** This article is a stub. You can help *The Eminence in Shadow Wiki* by expanding it.
**Maai** is a concept that Cid Kagenou discusses and measures often when he is in battle. It is the essence of space between two combatants. In the world of *The Eminence in Shadow*, maai has been greatly increased due to the concept of magic, which can enhance the human body way beyond the capabilities of Earth.

At the same time, Cid also discusses that the defensive techniques of the world are underdeveloped, leading to an increase in maai due to the ability to disengage from combat entirely. To Cid, this increase in maai is worthless because no attacks can actually reach the opponent without first closing the distance.

Cid's concept of maai exists where evasion of an attack uses a minimal amount of movement. Instead of being out of range by a meter, he uses the space of a millimeter to trade blows.

### Light Novel

Volume 5

**Lili** (リリ, *Riri*?) was Delta and Zeta's ancestor and one of the Three Heroes who defeated the demon Diablos, known as the "Beastkin Hero". In reality, however, she was a pawn of the Cult of Diablos, being a survivor of their experiments, tasked with defeating the demon of their own ends.

## Appearance

She shares a resemblance with Zeta in terms of appearance.

## Personality

It's unknown what her real personality was, but it is implies that she has a sense of justice as she believed defeating Diablos would save the world.

However after being sealed inside the Sanctuary for centuries, she had been reduced to an emotionless state, possibly forced to serve the Cult of Diablos.

## Synopsis

Centuries ago, originally Lili was a normal beastkin until she was kidnapped by the Cult of Diablos, to perform an experiment with her and all the other children, boys and girls alike they had kidnapped and collected to implant Diablos Cells, in an attempt to create powerful soldiers to fight the Demon King Diablos. The experiments resulted in almost failure, since most of the children ended up dying, and a small group of girls survived because they could not tolerate the blood of the demon in their veins.

Luckily for the Cult, 3 girls survived the experiments, whom turned out to be an Beastkin, a Elf and a Human, Lili was one of the other 2 surviving individuals. The cult carried out more experiments to make them stronger and powerful, creating weapons and equipment for them so that when they are adults and ready, they would go to fight the Demon King Diablos.

It was historically recorded that years later, Lili already prepared along with the other two heroes, which is the Elf hero Olivier and Human Hero (Freya; WN Only) went to exterminate the demon Diablos by order of the Cult, which resulted in the demon's defeat. But then, she and the other two heroes were cursed by Diablos so that their descendants would be possessed with rotten bodies.

However, the truth was, Lili was one of few people who are compatible with Diablos Cells. Hence, she was tasked by the Cult to gather more cells in order to produce more Tears of Diablos. Moreover, the Cult has already manipulated historical records globally and misgendered Lili as a man, so that no one would be able to find out the real facts and try to investigate the truth.

## Powers & Abilities

Being one of the three survivors of the Cult of Diablos' experiments with the implanted cells of the Demon Diablos, it can be assumed that Lili was considerably the second most powerful individual after Olivier, making her the 2nd strongest weapon of the Cult.

## Summary

Beta is suffering from significant writer's block and finds herself unable to continue the Chronicles of Master Shadow. She stops whaling to look up at Alpha, who has just entered the room. Alpha kindly smiles and asks about her progress. Beta begrudgingly admits that while Shadow's exploits and majestic countenance would make anyone's creativity run wild, she feels her words are inadequate to represent his greatness accurately. Alpha admits that Beta's writing talents cannot fully grasp all the necessary nuisances to perfectly portray Shadow. The silver-haired elf's eyes droop in resignation, but Alpha resumes her opinion. She still believes Beta needs to continue to pursue it. The girls of Shadow Garden still enjoy her work. The kind words ease Beta's anxiety and she thanks Alpha for her encouragement. Before Alpha leaves, Beta asks about Cid's torture session. Even Alpha, who has known him the longest, does not see the purpose of his life-begging act, but she thought it was pretty convincing. Intrigued by witness testimony, Beta asks for specifics and a reenactment. Sitting on the couch, Alpha screams out for her life, gesticulating for a few seconds to oblige the writer's curiosity. Furious scribbling, Beta begins to jot down a description of the performance. She tries her hand at torture theater, asking Alpha for pointers on how to improve.

Main
Chronology

## Family

### **Unnamed Younger Sister**

It's unknown what the relationship was with Beatrix and her younger sister prior to her death. But after her death, Beatrix would travel all over the world to find the daughter of her late sister.

### **Niece**

Beatrix appears to greatly care about the well-being of her niece *(heavily implied to be Alpha)*, traveling the world in hopes of finding her and threatening anyone who might have some information on her whereabouts.

## Others

### **Cid Kagenou / Shadow**

The two had met during the Bushin Festival. Beatrix not only picked up Elf scent on Cid, but also sensed great power within the boy. She asked him if he met her niece to which he denied. When being asked about if any of the Bushin Festival's fighters had caught her interest, Beatrix declared it to be Cid, claiming that he'll be strong.

When she fought him as Shadow, Beatrix is strong enough to fight Shadow to some extent, but when Shadow started to get a bit serious, she could barely keep up with him but is still managing to hold her own in contrast to Iris who is getting tossed aside every time she tries to join the fight. Beatrix understands enough that Shadow fights without using magic and acknowledged him as an incredibly powerful warrior with his strength and skills, which she described as no different than nature itself.

However, the level of power Shadow possessed is still horrifying to her after he enveloped the entirety of the Midgar kingdom with his magical energy that looked like a dome as he readies his "I Am Atomic" attack. Luckily for them, it was just a bluff because he had no intention of killing them or everyone from the start and just disappeared. After their defeat against Shadow, Beatrix sets out on a journey of training to improve her swordsmanship from scratch and resumes her search for her niece.

In Master of Garden, the two meet again by chance to save two children from abductors. Beatrix began to develop romantic feelings for Cid when the former was saved by him from an ambush.

### **Iris Midgar**

Beatrix met Iris when the former arrived at Midgar Kingdom, and she collaborated with the princess in hopes to find her niece. The two respected each other and worked together in taking down Shadow. However even with the joint effort of the two former champions, they were unable to defeat him.

In the anime, following the fight against Shadow, it is that implied Beatrix's respect for Iris as a fellow warrior has diminished quite considerably due to her giving in to emotions and having a complete mental breakdown thus taking the loss poorly. Knowing how much it broke her; she sternly advised the princess not to be obsessed in fighting Shadow.

Magic Sealing Chains

The ****Magic Sealing Chains**** (魔封の鎖, *Ma Fū no Kusari*?) are magic items that are use to restraints magic.

## Overview

These chains are no ordinary chains because when it's on the magic user, the user cannot used their magic as the magic are sealed. There are different types, some are like handcuffs or collars.

## Types of sealing chains

Over time, the cult created various types of magical sealing chains, to use against their respective enemies, or creatures they captured and studied:

## History

As understood, the creation of the sealing chains dates back more than a thousand years, shortly after the escape and chaos of Aurora, now turned into the first Demon King of the world, Diabolos. The Cult Of Diabolos, created powerful anti-magic chains, capable of sealing, in a contained way, the supreme power of Diabolos.

## Functions

* **Magic sealing:**
* **Physical Weakness:** When sealing, the individual's magic, so that he cannot use it, the source of his magic, along with his connections, the subject, begin to feel tired deliberately, I form the chains, continue to be attached to it, to the point that partially, it cannot move, because the people of the other world, use the magic combined with their life force, for the complete support of the body and its functions. The more one uses, one's magic, the chains can affect the individual more, depending on how much they have, and mainly, how it is used (according to words taught, from **Cid** to his older sister **Claire**). this works well against magic warriors and magic knights, just like any other magic.
* **Physical immobility:**

## Weakness

* Although the sealing chains, of the normal type, can seal the magic of the person who wears them, the innate and vital force of the subject cannot, so under certain circumstances, if the subject's force is very strong, it can break the chains. chains that immobilize him, or free himself from their bonds. As it was in the case of Claire Kagenou freed herself from these chains, by sheer brute force, for having been angry, despite having hurt her hands, although she did not mind the pain, when the Duke mentioned that he would investigate Cid Kagenou, while she was still in prison, because of the **Cult of Diablos**.
* Sealing chains, as such, regardless of type, are not indestructible per se, they can be destroyed by external forces, either by magical or physical means. This is seen when Milia mutation destroyed Alexia Midgar Sealing chains, while they were prisoners of the Cult, and when Cid, with an "I Am Atomic", destroyed the sanctuary, destroying with it, the chains (artifact type), along with with the left arm of the Demon king Diabolos.

### Bushin Festival

Goldoh travelled to Midgar and participated in the country's Bushin Festival. While watching the fights from the seatings, he encountered two students, one of them being his biggest fan. After boasting about his abilities, Goldoh witnessed the qualifying thirds round match between Mundane Mann and Gonzales and was surprised how incredibly weak the former was causing him to laugh. However, he stopped when Mundane somehow took down Gonzales easily.

When he entered the arena and faced off against Mundane on the qualifying fourth round match, Goldoh immediately tried to strike him down only to be shocked once again that his opponent somehow able to dodge his attack. He immediately jumped back before he could retaliate but only found that Mundane barely noticed what he was doing. Angered that he was being disrespected, Goldoh tried to kill Mundane using his most powerful attack. Unfortunately, he was knocked down by Mundane before he could deliver the attack.

In the anime, after the Bushin Festival, Goldoh packs his things and decide to ride a train to escape until Quinton follow him.

### From Dark Knight to Slave

Goldoh teamed up with Quinton and the two traveled to the Lawless City to face the Blood Queen of the Red Tower. When they arrived at the building, they encountered the tower's watchdog. The two arrogantly fought the man but weren't able to defeat him, with Quinton being cut down by the watchdog's blade. Goldoh realized in horror that the watchdog was the White Demon. The Victorious Golden Dragon immediately fled, abandoning Quinton. Alas, he didn't get far as when residents of the Lawless City started attacking him.

Captured, a brutalized Goldoh was enslaved alongside Quinton. The two encountered Cid Kagenō and Claire Kagenō passing by when they tried begging for their help. Unfortunately, they failed after the siblings left with someone else purchasing them to their horror.

## Shadow Garden

### 664

She has sympathy and trust with 664, although they have opposite behaviors since more than once 664 scolds her for her sleepy and semi-distracted, and cheerful way of working. When they communicated their failure in the mission to Alpha, 664 began to argue with the 666. But Alpha orders them to leave quietly and 665 takes them by force.

In the anime, 665 and 664 have a comedic routine where the latter has to keep the former's focus away from eating all the time.

### Rose Oriana

She has an optimistic and cheerful affection for Rose. Even when she saw her make a disobedient decision before her teammates, 559 and 664, 665 still supported her with joy and everything.

### Shadow / John Smith

She has a respect, loyalty, and some form of admiration for her lord, Shadow, for the way he makes his skills look so beautiful. As she is not a Named Number, she is not privy to her master's secret identity.

When 665 faced John Smith without knowing that it was Shadow, she was amazed by the beautiful way in which he moved the magical steel threads that she almost did not pay attention that they were enemies.

### Alpha

665 has a well-earned and dedicated respect for Alpha. When 664 and 666 started fighting in front of her, Alpha told them to leave and 665 complied by forcing her two companions to leave with her.

Yuka Nukui

**Millia** (ミリア, *Miria*?) is the daughter of the late Viscount Grease. Ever since contracting the Demon Possession, she became an experimental research subject for the Cult of Diablos while her father served them in the hopes that he might find and try to cure her. After her encounter with Alpha, she is retrieved and revived by the Cult of Diablos to be turned into a more potent weapon. She was then cured and defected to Shadow Garden as No. 711.

## Appearance

Millia is a beautiful young girl with grayish-whits hair similar to her father's. In flashbacks, she wears a dress and two bows, one on her head while the other tied behind her back. As a little girl, she also carried a teddy bear. She has a petite build in resemblance to her thirteen-year-old self.

## Personality

Although mutated and unrecognizable, Millia had the wherewithal to free Princess Alexia Midgar while the two were captive in the royal capital as test subjects. What became of her after her encounter with Alpha has yet to be known.

She is also noted to have a high aversion against loosing/being defeated (for an unexplained reason). This has resulted in her loosing her composure on multiple occasions after being forced to interact with Akane Nishino following their duel.

## Powers & Abilities

During her rampage across Midgar Kingdom's capital, the mutated Millia exhibits superhuman strength and razor-sharp claws for offensive purposes. Her most unique on Millia's demonized state is a high regenerative ability, allowing her to survive even from multiple fatal slashes. But her overwhelming power is no match for Iris Midgar until she eventually returned to her normal state by Alpha.

After the Cult retrieves her body, they performed numerous experiments transforming Millia into the "Cult's strongest human weapon," a huge monster with numerous amounts of tentacles that possess great strength and magic. After Shadow defeats and heals her, she reverts back into her human body, losing her monstrous appendages. After training in Shadow Garden for a brief period, she is noted by Lambda to be a prodigy in swordsmanship but struggles to remain calm initially.

## Trivia

* In the Web Novel, Millia is revealed to be alive, having been resurrected by Perv Asshat to attack Epsilon and her subordinates. Following that encounter, Epsilon cured Millia and was taken into Alexandria.
	+ This would get adapted into the Light Novel, as in Volume 6 Millia was revealed to have been revived by the Loki faction and later be healed by Shadow.

Drake

**Drake** (ドレイク, *Doreiku*?) was an archbishop in the Holy Land, Lindwurm.

## Personality

Much of his personality is yet to be elaborated. However, allegations of child trafficking and his relationship with Victoria would imply that he was cowardly and corrupted.

## Chronology

### Background

Long ago, Drake was a Bishop who secretly became an auditor for the Templars. However, he was under suspicion of corruption and orphan trafficking when rumors of such allegations reached the royal capital of Midgar Kingdom.

At the underground chamber of Orum cathedral within the Templars' main headquarters, Drake expressed his disappointment with their leader after hearing reports of her mission's failure to seize a human possessed from the Cult of Diablos that eventually fell into the hands of Shadow Garden. Due to her mistake, his position within the Church was undermined until the Cult gave reason in questioning their inquisition rights.

Therefore, Drake decided to refrained Victoria's action from exercising her inquisitorial powers unnecessarily by focusing on her role as a Saint for the time being. Through this, he ensured that his role as auditor would not be jeopardized.

Although Drake served as Victoria's auditor, he was afraid that her devotion is working against her because she gained wisdom through her contact with the outside world. Because of this, Drake forced Victoria into withdrawing from the battlefield so he could brainwash her by secretly increasing the dose of the secret drug on Victoria and letting her hear the mighty "voice of the Goddess".

A year and a half later, Drake was appointed to be Archbishop and entrusted with the sacred ministry of Lindwurm cathedral.

## Volume 2

### Sanctuary Infiltration

Prior to the Goddess's Trial, Drake was assigned to host the event. However, the royal family of Midgar began investigating the truth about his rumors and sent Alexia Midgar.

Before Alexia had reached to Lindwurm, Drake was killed by Venom on behalf of Nelson's order in order to erase the evidence before she could arrive. Alpha was next to his corpse and pondered to what he was hiding to where the Cult wanted to kill him.

After Drake's death, Nelson was appointed as the acting Archbishop to replace him as a host for the *Goddess's Trial* event.
