Before relinquishing his position as Shadow Monarch, Ashborn tasked Igris with testing his future successor to determine their worthiness of becoming the Shadow Monarch.
At the start of the manhwa, Igris was at the knight level, with half of his power sealed. However, after Jin-Woo became the Shadow Monarch, Igris’s true powers were revealed, reaching the marshal level. His power level was comparable to that of an S-rank hunter.
