Sharen Story in The First Descendant
Sharen, Colon Special Forces Agent No. 0 and unit commander, possessed such extraordinary skill that she was considered the strongest among non-Descendant fighters. Her stealth tracking ability was nearly perfect, and her melee battle skills were so deadly that she has killed more Vulgus than even the heavily-armed Descendants. It was often said that should she possess Arche, she would be able to assassinate Karel… However, Sharen herself did not welcome this reputation. The reason being that the Vulgus assassination unit, which Sharen and the Colon Special Forces had been chasing, had slayed more Albion troops than the Vulgus Sharen had killed, all before vanishing into the shadows.
Eventually, in order to prevent the gradually increasing allied casualties, Sharen decided to track down the deadly cyborg Vulgus. The operation’s mission was to determine the location of the mark and call in a Descendant strike force. But Sharen had no intention of handing the final blow to this assassination unit to anyone else. Around this time, Sharen’s battle skills were at their peak, and according to the observation of the agents who deployed with her, some of her movements were displaying an electrical phenomenon which seemingly appears to be an Arche ability. Nobody doubted her inevitable victory.
