Ghirahim (Total War)

Ghirahim is a supporting villain character in Hyrule: Total War who will comprise a sub-story in the campaign.

Description
When the forces of evil threatened Hyrule beyond its standing armies, the Sages of Hyrule sought to create a weapon that could halt the advance of darkness. Seeking the Goddess Hylia, the Sages worked with her to create the ultimate weapon: the Master Sword. Unfortunately the first attempt to craft the weapon resulted in Ghirahim; an unstable, independent, and self-serving weapon that had thoughts other than serving the Hero of Time.

As such, Ghirahim was discarded and a new Master Sword was created instead. When Link uses the newly forged Master Sword to return to his youth against the will of the Sages, Ghirahim’s spirit is inexplicably ripped from the failed sword and manifests in Hyrule. Now free of his former bounds, Ghirahim plots to take revenge on the Goddess Hylia and the Seven Sages for abandoning him in favor of his successor.

In-game
In the campaign, Ghirahim will hunt down Link, Hylia, Fi, and any of your sages as the game progresses. In addition, Ghirahim will be fully usable in any regular custom match.

Ghirahim (and his counterpart Fi) are the single most powerful units in the game, and act as veritable one-man (or genderless robot sword) armies.

It is likely that the Sorcerer Vaati is actually the reincarnation of Ghirahim.
