Vixur Ul Shasta

Viksul Ur Shasta (ビクスル・ウル・シャスター) was a supporting character in the Alicization Arc. He was the commander of the Order of the Dark Knights, a member of the Ten Lords Assembly that ruled over the Dark Territory in Underworld, and had a relationship with his subordinate, Lipia Zankale.

Appearance
Shasta had a husky voice and a towering stature, not losing even against ogres in terms of height, despite being of the human race. He had deep, black hair that was trimmed short, black eyes and an orderly moustache. Shasta also had a shallow scar running from his brow to the bridge of his nose.

In the palace, Shasta wore a plain hemp shirt that covered his rising burly muscles which threatened to burst the shirt's buttons. On duty, Shasta wore full-body pitch-black armour with countless scratches carved into it.

Personality
Viksul Ur Shasta was one of the few people in the Dark Territory who was not controlled by a lust for conquest and considered the negative outcome of a war with the Human Empire. He thus supported the idea of peace and was even willing to kill other members of the Ten Lords Assembly to achieve it. Shasta was also the only lord who proposed to the woman he loved, instead of taking her by force. Although Shasta was an open-hearted man, he was also prudent, thus he had multiple layers of defensive arts prepared in his private room.

Background
Shasta is born to a Knight. As soon as he is capable of handling a Wooden sword, he is sent to an academy run by the Knightly order. At the academy, Shasta trained rigidly and won through many examinations. This proved himself to the previous commander of the order.

During his days at the academy, he humiliated many fellow students, including Fu Za.

At 20 years old, his master, and the masters two generation before, engaged in a battle against Bercouli Synthesis One three days before, resulting in Shasta's master losing his right arm to the Integrity Knight and the two masters brutally killed. His master then order Shasta to kill him, telling that his like will burden Shasta's will. As Shasta finishes his master, Shasta is scarred by his master's incarnate.

17 years later, Shasta stands in his master's place in a face-off against Bercouli. Shasta was determined to die, but as he attacked with willpower, and missed, the Knight stopped and leaves, telling Shasta to "come back in five years".

AIicization Invading
One day on the 11th Month of the Human Empire Calendar, Viksul Ur Shasta received a report from his subordinate, Lipia, on the death of Quinella. Hearing this news, Shasta claimed that it was their chance for peace, explaining how a war with the Human Empire would lead to numerous casualties and the resulting imbalance among the races of the Dark Territory would lead to another age of conflict. Shasta revealed that he planned to kill four other lords, including D.I.L., in his pursuit of peace.

After a short moment of silence, Shasta changed the topic and proposed to Lipia, but they were suddenly informed of the throne room lock quivering. Along with the other lords, Shasta came to the throne room, where they found Gabriel Miller, logged in as Emperor Vector, on the throne. When it was Shasta's turn to introduce himself to Emperor Vector, Shasta inquired on Vector's intentions. Hearing that the emperor desired war, Shasta was the only one who remained kneeling among the war cries of the other lords.

Two days after Lipia's death, Shasta and the other lords were summoned to the throne room. As Shasta was about to attack Vector to salvage the opportunity for peace, he and the other lords were informed of an assassination attempt on Vector that took place to days prior. Enraged by the sight of the assassin's, Lipia's, frozen head that Vector displayed a few moments later, Shasta drew his sword, the «Oborogasumi», unconsciously activating its Armament Full Control state. However, before Shasta could execute his attack, he was struck by a needle filled with highly-lethal poison, thrown at him by the Assassin's Guild's leader, Fu Za. Quickly paralyzing the Dark General as he notice the needle, and kill him as Fu Za express his grudge against Viksul Ur Shasta.

Yet, just as Shasta died, his will unleashed the recollection release ability of his sword. This created a ravaging tornado that directly assaulted the Fluctlights of anything it made contact with, including Fu Za, the Mountain Goblin Chief Hagashi, the Plains Goblin Chief Kubiri, as well as D.I.L's right leg, before it stopped expanding and formed an image of Shasta's body. At that moment, the visual of Shasta launched its fist upon the Dark Emperor; however, Shasta's will was unable to affect the endless abyss of Gabriel's Fluctlight and was instead absorbed and vaporised by it.
