Clarification: The name Deathblade is sometimes used to refer to the bearer of the sword. The artifact itself, however, is the true Deathblade.
Known bearers of the Deathblade:
- Lothar (1301 BCE to 1141 BCE)
- An Alliance of Humanity member (691-689 BCE)
- MichaelZolvolovitch (March 1944 to 1948)

- ShesuAshari (briefly, in 2007)
Deathblade is an ancient sword, which was created by ZaizenTamari Zaizen. It enslaves its bearer into Zaizen's service, taking over that person's will. It grants those that wield it amazing strength and fortitude, and encases its bearer in magical black armor. Along with TheRightHand and TheLeftHand, it is the backbone of Zaizen's strength. It has acted under ZaizenTamari Zaizen's direction in attacks on ParadiseLost Paradise Lost and after the division of ZaizenTamari Zaizen it endured a long period of captivity by the TheAllianceofHumanity Alliance of Humanity, was hosted by MichaelZolvolovitch Michael Zolvolovitch and then a TheShells shell, all the while working for the release of ZaizenTamari Zaizen. In the most recent conflict with the heroes of the August 2007 Campaign, the TheShells shell host was destroyed and the sword is now in the possession of ShesuAshari Shesu.
Deathblade was broken in half in October 1945 by AbdulOmarMohammed Abdul Omar Mohammed, TuraloOso Oso, and Alaistar, after they defeated its bearer MichaelZolvolovitch Michael Zolvolovitch in ZaizensTemple Zaizen's Temple. However, the concentration of ColdSteel within the temple reformed Deathblade by May 1946, and it again called for a bearer. An empty TheShells shell escapes from the HandOfGodLabs Hand of God lab in Siberia, and kills hundreds in a nearby village. The empty TheShells shell resonates with Deathblade, and the shell finds the sword, and becomes the new bearer.
