Biography[]
Background[]
During the first Shushus invasion in the World of Twelve in AD 24, Anathar commanded the armies of Rushu, but the invasion was a dismal failure after Goultard, transformed into Dark Vlad, annihilated the army.
Anathar was one of the survivors and was sealed in a cloak of shadow, which was passed down from generation to generation until coming into the custody of the Knight Justice Senior, during the Wakfu era.
In the year 982, the Knight crosses paths with Rubilax who has taken possession of the body of his guardian and seeks to unite his Shushus brothers to build an army. During his duel against Rubilax, Justice decided to free Anathar, but too weakened, he lost control. It is ultimately his son, Justice Junior who manages to imprison Anathar again, without succeeding in freeing his father.
Wakfu: Season 2[]
Decides to release Remington to thank him for his help, but instead of being grateful to them, he attacks him and releases a monster to cover his escape. But his plan fails because the monster turns against him and swallows Grany (his brother turned into a cat). Then he takes on Tristepin to rob him of Rubliax because he seems to have an account to settle with him. The monster puts Rubilax with Grany in her stomach and runs away. During the assault, the Justice Knight father was expelled from Anathar. As Anathar is weakened, his belly opens and Remington tries to recover Grany while Tristepin tries to catch Rubilax. Seeing that Tristepin came to his rescue, Rubilax finally begs him to beg him to save him. Indeed, given what Rubilax did to Rushu, he knows very well that if he returns to the world of the Shushus he will probably be put to death.
Anathar is too close to the portal to be able to free himself, he knows that he is condemned to return in the dimension of the shushus. To get his head high, he grabs Remington, Tristepin and Yugo and draws them with him in his dimension. Amalia, Ruel and Evangelyne see the dimensional portal close again without having succeeded in entering it. Now their friends are inaccessible, so they can not do anything to help them.
Unsuccessful Anathar attack, the group escapes from the Rushu arena and heads for the gate. Rubilax is so weak that he can no longer stand. Despite his weight, Tristepin decides to carry it on his back. Rubilax does not understand why Tristepin helps him, he advises him to abandon him because his presence slows the group and jeopardizes their chances of escape. Even if Rubilax is right, Tristepin refuses to abandon it. Rubilax finally sees what it means to have true friends watching over you and it seems that he is beginning to appreciate that.
Many shushu landed, quickly followed by Rushu, Qilby and Anathar who took possession of Adamaï's body. Yugo wondered how he could make his appearance normal to his brother. Far from the battle, Goultard believed dead felt the arrival of Rushu and he seems determined to go and see what happens. Yugo and the dragon Phaéris soon realized that the Anathar shushu had taken possession of Adamaï's body, but they had no idea how to save it. The Dragon Phaeris has great difficulty in standing up to the Shushu Anathar who merged with Adamai, so he inherited his power. Yugo can count only on himself to face Qilby. Unfortunately, he is still too young and, despite his unwavering will, he is quickly defeated. Seeing that Qilby was about to finish him, Phaeris intervened to protect him.
This attack has no effect against an opponent like Qilby who can teleport through his portals, but at least it has distracted Qilby's attention and allowed Yugo to recover a bit of his spirits. While Qilby gets rid of Anathar by killing her using a blast that smashes him using fallen stones, Yugo emerges from the rubble.
Other Media[]
Justice – Wakfu Heroes[]
His appearance in the comic is minimal since he is not named or referenced by anyone. In the past days, when the Justice Knight Senior fulfilled his duty as a masked hero, he was equipped with his shushu Anathar, in the form of a cape, with which he could possibly merge with him after facing several supervillains.
Wakfu - Volume 1[]
In the page 176: in the third box, we can see that the buckle of the cape of the Knight Justice father contains the eye of Anathar, except this character was released (episode 8) then he was killed by Qilby in the episode 25, so it can no longer be part of the Justice Knight's cloak, so theoretically there should be an empty space instead of the eye.
Wakfu (Game)[]
Anathar does not have any important role or presence to be part of the game, but the players can win a package with gifts that includes a miniature pet that is shaped like Anathar.

Trivia[]
- Anathar's jackal-like appareance might be a reference to Anubis, a Egyptian god who served as the patron deity of mummification and embalming.
