Emperor is a character in Shadow Fight 3. He is the ruler of Dynasty, and the father of June. Emperor is a Three Arrows, along with Galen and Bolo. They aim to research the Sphere's power and use it for the good of people.
Storyline[]
The man that would become the future Emperor was friends with Galen, as he was a member of the elite Golden Demon squad together with him. When he was still a prince, the Emperor owned a blade known as the legendary shadow sword. Shadow, who brought along the strongest Legionaries with him, came to the young Emperor in order to retrieve the sword. He refused and he single-handedly defeated the Legionaries. After witnessing this, Shadow concluded that this nation can help him destroying The Sphere. After the Emperor's father agreed to help Shadow, they built the Sphere Temple to keep The Sphere. Later, he replaced his father as the ruler of Dynasty and became The Sphere keeper and The First Arrow.
Through Galen's suggestion, who became The Second Arrow, the Emperor then stopped trying to destroy The Sphere and instead started researching its power in the hope of helping his empire flourish. This angered Shadow very much to the point that he became the Dynasty's enemy, which in turn also made the Legion confused by such volatile disposition. Since then, the two factions fell out with each other.
Not only keeping it, Emperor sometimes used The Sphere in an attempt to research its power. Bolo, The Third Arrow, helped him overcome the side effects by creating the Void room, which the Emperor used and he often spent times there releasing himself from the Sphere.
Later, he sent June, his daughter who acts as his agent, to find the one chosen by The Sphere.
Chapter II: Dynasty[]
The player and June go to the palace to talk with Emperor regarding Deng Rao's attack to the Legion and what has to be done to prevent the war. However, the Emperor, along with the Sphere, are missing and no one knows where he is.
His disappearance has caused a bigger trouble, as the Legion has sent their Ambassador to negotiate the current situation with him. Unable to meet with the Emperor causes the Ambassador to think that the Dynasty is really seeking to wage war and responds by sending an army to invade Dynasty capital.
According to Itu, there were a few people in Shadow form in the palace that night. He is outnumbered and knocked out, and the Emperor and Shadow Sphere are no more when he regained consciousness. Kibo was also there, and she was in account with Deng Rao and the Ambassador, which implies that they may know something or may even be involved in a scheme.
Chapter III: Heralds[]
| “ | So what? Wanna see our Emperor? He's nearby. But there are some... changes inside of him. | ” |
| –Bolo vaguely describing the Emperor's condition. | ||
The Emperor's fate still remained unclear. Bolo's claim that something has changed inside of him does not help making things clear either. June accuses Bolo for causing it, stating that he must have changed his mind somehow.
After the trio meets with Galen, he guides them to the Emperor, who is now quarantined at the village with the blasted rig. June is relieved to find that her father is alive and well. Emperor then reveals that Kibo saved him from a monster. It was the monster that destroyed the rig. That was the last time the Emperor had the Sphere. It was currently staying at the Sphere Temple, the only place that can hold its forces. If the Sphere loses its keeper, it will consume the whole world. The party then goes to the Void room. They go there to get to the Sphere Temple using an intensified simulation. However, Emperor suddenly gets possessed by the monster and prevents the player from getting the Sphere. The player enters the Void room and fights the possessed Emperor. Due to the monster's possession, the Emperor gains a powerful Shadow form, which allows him to transform to a humanoid Shadow monster that is very agile. Despite this, the player is victorious against the Emperor. After being freed from the monster, the Emperor returns to the capital soon after he recovered.
Chapter VII, Part II: Behold the Future[]
Sometime after the player entered the time portal with Shadow Mind, Shadow takes over the Legion and invades the Dynasty. Moira, who is panicked, casts a parallel reality inside a kind of Dome covering the Palace. Emperor and the people inside the Palace stay safe while the real one and the rest of Dynasty get razed to the ground by Shadow's attack. Emperor passes away peacefully ten years later.

Finale: The Gates of Shadows[]
Mnemos questions June if that was all despite who her father was, to which June answers in positive, he demanded care, from a certain point. Mnemos allows her not to say what she does not want. Nonetheless, she responds no. She feels like she has been wanting to talk to someone about this for ages. She reveals that she has seen her father change, because of the Sphere for a long time. June fights her father, who has lost his senses completely due to the Sphere, saying nonsense at the beginning of the battle. She fights her father twice in his shadow beast form and third time in human form but still under Sphere's control. Despite this, she bests her father. After winning the fight, Mnemos asks her the name of the shard of the Hero in her soul which has changed its shape forever. June answered Courage. The Hero looked at her as an equal as they knew she could do it and so did she. She could be brave when accompanied by the Hero.
June's Adventure: Know Your Enemy[]
Fangirl's Adventure: Soul of the Dynasty[]
In Fangirl's Adventure, the Emperor summons Grandma Song in order to procure a potion to keep the Shadow Beast within him at bay. However, his summon is instead responded by her granddaughter, who explains that she is lacking one last ingredient in order to complete the potion and states that upon its completion it will be delivered. Fangirl explains to the Emperor of the current situation, causing the Emperor to assign Emissary Wei and Captain Phang to take her to Shadow Island, where the ingredient presumably lies. The Emperor listens to her story.
The Emperor however, deduces that Fangirl is actually Grandma Song in disguise, and thus the old lady reveals herself. However, Lady Song has attracted the attention of the Order of Assassin's by stealing their pocket mirror, causing their leader, the Shadow Demon Lynx himself to arrive in order to take her down. The Emperor attempts to defend his subject, but Lady Song instead fights with the assassin leader and defeats him. Afterwards, the Emperor joins with Lady Song to attend the Guardian Dragon tournament.

Instead of being covered in Shadow energy with glowing eyes, Emperor will transform into an agile humanoid Shadow monster with big, sharp claws on his hands, which he uses as primary offense. After transforming, the Shadow monster form will not wear off and the Emperor will stay in Shadow monster form for the rest of the fight.

Power and Abilities[]
- Shapeshifter: When Emperor has full shadow energy or if his health drops less than 50%, he'll transform into the Shadow Beast, stunning the player in the process. Shadow Beast is in permanent shadow form and uses claws as its weapon for the rest of the fight. In the Maze of Immortality event, Emperor can shift between form (human to beast and vice versa) in a certain period of time instead by health drop.
- Spike: After transforming into the Shadow Beast, Emperor can extend its rib bone to attack the player. There are two ways to perform the attack:
- First variant: Shadow Beast stretches its spike and performs a single strike forward. If it hits the player, the monster throws them airborne and uses the tentacle again to thrust the player back to the ground.
- Second variant: Shadow Beast stretches its spike to hits the ground thrice, each hits further than the previous. Each hit has instance damage to the player, knocking them backward.
- Golden Demon: Emperor can shoot arrows that explodes into a small Shadow cloud on contact, clouding all movements within the cloud and inflicting poisoning damage his opponent if they lingers in the cloud.
- Emperor of Dynasty: By pressing the ability button, Emperor can shows his authority over his subjects, force them to kneel down before him, which leaves them open for attacks for a few seconds. This ability was similar to that possessed by his daughter, but it was faster.

Trivia[]
- In Chapter I, June informs that anyone who touches The Sphere will be turned into a beast, a very similar case the Emperor experienced in Chapter III.
- In Chapter V, Itu concludes that the case of Moira with the Scourge disease resembles what happened to the Emperor which means that after the explosion, the monster was hiding inside the Emperor all the time until the party reached the Void Room.
