Ghirahim (Total War)

Ghirahim is the humanoid manifestation of the first prototype of the Master Sword created by Hylia and the Sages of Hyrule, and later becomes the weapon of the Druthulidi Demise.

The Return of Sulkaris
Ghirahim is the result of Hylia's first attempt to create the Master Sword - the ultimate weapon to be used by her chosen knight Link. Unfortunately, Ghirahim turns out to be an unstable, independent, and self-serving weapon that has thoughts other than serving the Hero of Time. As a result, he is discarded and imprisoned in the Wizzrobe Cathedral in Vigjaro while another sword is created in his place.

A Tale of Two Swords
In 175 AG, hearing word of Demise's campaign against Hylia and feeling abandoned by his creator in favour of Fi, Ghirahim breaks free of the Wizzrobe Cathedral in Vigjaro and offers his services and knowledge to Demise.

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.
