The **Lord of Shadows** is the overarching antagonist of *Last Legacy*. Although not much was known about him previously, the rewrite gives him more backstory. He makes his first official appearance in Chapter 10 of Felix's route.

The prologue mentions that he was the final villain of the first Last Legacy game and had a romantic relationship with Anisa's mother, Ayanna.

In Chapter 1 of Anisa's route, she reveals that when he attacked five years ago, he destroyed several towns and killed numerous people.

Furthermore, he used necromancy to raise the dead and forced the Starsworn to kill their loved ones all over again before he was killed by Anisa. He had several alters dedicated to him by cultists who worshipped him.

## Felix's route

In Chapter 10, he and Rime set a trap for you, Felix, and Escell. Rime was ordered to keep you busy but to not harm you. The Lord expresses his disappointment in Escell, claiming that he was nothing more than a petty swindler before the Lord of Shadows allowed him to become the Archmage.

In order for Escell to prove his loyalty, he orders him to kill either you or Felix. When Escell prepares to blast you with a lethal spell, Felix jumps in front of you and takes the hit.

Finding amusement in the misfire, he chuckles, finding the punishment doable enough and reminds Escell the price of disloyalty. After which, he disappears in a miasma of black smoke.

He isn't seen in the route again but is mentioned several times throughout. It's revealed he's the one who resurrected Felix when he had fallen down the stairs and ever since he has had "A hand in the family ever since then."

## Anisa's route

In Chapter 6, it was hinted that he was originally a human from Earth which is later confirmed.

He and Ayanna met while competing over searching for a treasure in a boobytrapped temple.

In Chapter 7, he traps you and Anisa in an illusion where he reveals that he and you have potential to be Gods in Astrea due to your knowledge of this universe from the Last Legacy game and that's how he ascended into power.

It is also revealed that Anisa couldn't bring herself to kill him five years ago and instead banished him back to Earth with her Relic.

## Sage's route

The Lord of Shadows first appears as the mentor Gramme in Sage's route. He joins your group during your battle with Rime and his henchmen, who are eventually forced to retreat after realizing that they are outmatched.

While Anisa and Felix are relieved to see that their mentor and friend is alive, Sage is skeptical, wondering why he chose a specific moment to lend his help. After reconvening at Fathom and theorizing what Rime's end goal is and why he would need corrupted Griefers as muscle, Sage fills you in on their history.

Gramme had recruited him into the Starsworn for the sole purpose of spying on the Griefers in case they were planning anything. You both agreed that was suspicious that Gramme chose to single out a specific gang of hired thugs instead of having Sage keep tabs on bigger threats.

In Chapter 11, he is insistent that you don't help fight against the fog corrupting others, but you chose to help anyway. It is revealed that he was luring you and Sage into a trap where Sage is savagely assaulted by numerous corrupted citizens.

Gramme then casts a spell that banishes you from Astraea and sends you back to Earth.

In Chapter 12, you find yourself back at the same convention from the beginning of the story, suffering from Amnesia. While exploring the convention, you see a poster depicting Anisa and Felix, but notice that Anisa is described as a Vigilante and Felix isn't referred to by name, feeling that something is off. During a Demo of the new Last Legacy game hosted by a pre-recorded Mike Morgan, he shows off his player icon, Gramme, revealing it's an anagram of his name. This causes you to realize that Mike and Gramme are the same person and all your memories come flooding back.

You are able to use the Astrolobe to make it back to Astrea, but discover that it has been overrun with The Corrupted and see Sage massacre a squad of them. He reveals that while only an hour had passed on Earth, it had been six months in Astrea. Your friend group has disbanded due to fearing for their own safety and Gramme had overtaken the headquarters of the Sunstone Order. He also plans to kill Gramme for everything that he's done.

In Chapter 14, you discover that Gramme is the Lord of Shadows during your confrontation with him.
