Background / History

Shiraque initially reacted with instinctive hostility when Wu Heng disclosed that he was a Necromancer, reaching for her longsword before immediately apologizing. Though wary of Necromancy and Necromantic Servants, she gradually judged Wu Heng by his conduct rather than his profession. 258

As a Vice Deacon, she joined Wu Heng in the rescue of Shanala from the Blood Hand Pirate Group. She led the search party on Cocktail Island while Wu Heng created a distraction, and later acknowledged his decisive contribution to the rescue. 275 276 279

She survived multiple pirate and cult-related crises alongside Wu Heng. During the Lopes City mission, she identified that the supposed cult investigation had been diverted into a pirate village and remained confident that Wu Heng had deliberately drawn enemy forces away rather than fled. 394 395 397 Wu Heng later rescued her team from pirate ambushes on several occasions. 325 327 399 456

Shiraque became a Deacon by the time of the Treasure Island murder investigation, treating the role and its cases with seriousness. She worked with Wu Heng and the Skeleton Prophet to identify a murderer, then proposed a joint security arrangement with the Association. 480

She led Association responses against the Mandate of Heaven Cult, including island blockades, searches, interrogations, and the pursuit of a Level 18 Necromancer. She also organized the control and treatment of residents affected by hostile Wraiths after the Necromancer's defeat. 530 534 535
