Wraith

The Wraiths are the most powerful warriors under the control of The Path. They number from 0 to 7, in descending order of strength.

Outline
Out of The Path's entire force, a select few are chosen to ascend the ranks out of their much more common - and weaker - brethren, Husks. They are given enormous powers in exchange for their obedience and faith, then put to the test of Elemental torture, which is given by injecting Light into their bodies. In the beginning, when Xenos was getting more powerful and grown, hundreds were chosen to become Wraiths, but The Path soon found that one needed a strong spiritual resistance to endure the intense strain the corrupting Element would put on their mind and bodies. In the end, none survived until Vieg Neun's indoctrination, and turned out to be one of the strongest Wraiths in the history of The Path's life.

From then on, obtaining Wraiths was easier. The Path had a more specific idea of how to transform his warriors, but many still died while Vieg and Xenos became stronger.

Before the attack on Earth, The Path managed to gather an elite team of Wraiths. But after The War of The Path, his Wraiths were decimated entirely. Since then, he hasn't chosen anymore Wraiths.
