'''Spectre'''<ref name="ep32">{{episode|Yu-Gi-Oh! VRAINS|32|ref}}</ref> (スペクター ''Supekutā'') is a character appearing in the ''[[Yu-Gi-Oh! VRAINS]]'' anime.

He does not use a separate Avatar within [[LINK VRAINS]], retaining his normal appearance, but wearing a different outfit; a white suit with yellow outlines, and a black stripe on his chest. He also wears , and white shoes.

Much like Varis, Spectre is a villainous individual that will do anything to protect the goals of Knights of Hanoi, doubting anyone would truly understand their reason for executing their plans. Up to his name, Spectre briefly appears to do whatever Varis orders him. As he believes that Varis has given his life purpose, he is extremely loyal to him. He has a habit of snapping his fingers to perform an action.

Spectre likes to know everything about his opponent before he duels Duels them. He then uses information of their past to distress them. When dueling Dueling [[Skye Zaizen|Blue Angel]], he correctly ascertained she got her avatar name from the "''[[Blue Angel (book)|Blue Angel]]" book'', which her brother used to read to her when she was a little girl crying over the loss of her parents. Not only does the this knowledge unsettle Blue Angel, Spectre also claims that she will cry like the Blue Angel in the story because when she loses to him, she will lose her connection with her brother and become mere data.

During his duel Duel with Blue Angel, Spectre was shown to be an extremely manipulative, deceptive and cold-hearted individual at one point going as far as feigning having seen the light through Skye's actions inspired by the ''Blue Angel story'', only to later burn the book, causing her great distress. He also mocks Playmaker's self-proclaimed justice to be ridiculous.

Spectre used "[[Sunavalon Force]]" to render "Dryanome" immune to effects, but Playmaker brought out "[[Excode Talker (anime)|Excode Talker]]" and "[[Underclock Taker (anime)|Underclock Taker]]", locking down Spectre's Monster Zones and reducing the ATK of "Sunvine Thrasher". Spectre was displeased that his combo had been stopped and Ai gloated they would win. But Spectre snapped his fingers, revealing the captured [[Akira Zaizen]] to them. Spectre threatened to infect Zaizen with a virus, Ai and Playmaker were angry that Spectre was cheating by involving unrelated people. Spectre chuckled, reminding Playmaker how many people he had involved in this crisis, first Blue Angel, and now her brother. Both Zaizen and Ai told Playmaker not to listen to Spectre, but Playmaker ended his turn without attacking. Spectre laughed, believing that he discovered Playmaker's weakness: virtue. Playmaker wanted revenge, but he would not let innocents be hurt, which Spectre considered a weakness. "Sunvine Thrasher" counterattacked onSpectre's next turn, putting Playmaker at a disadvantage.<ref name="ep36"/> The bridge began collapsing again, but Spectre confronted refused to allow this to defeat Playmaker and used "Dryanome" to once again re-stabilize the bridge so that he could defeat Playmaker himself. Confident that Playmaker on could not win because of his combo and Playmaker's sense of justice, Spectre ended his turn, daring Playmaker to risk Zaizen by attacking him.<ref name="ep37">{{episode|Yu-Gi-Oh! VRAINS|37|ref}}</ref> Ai criticized Spectre's cheating, but Spectre took that as a compliment, as it had let him gain the advantage. To Spectre's disappointment, Playmaker ignored his dare and simply Set a card. Spectre used "Sunvine Thrasher" to attack "Excode Talker", but Playmaker used "[[Overload Anchor]]" and "[[Link Processing Failure]]" to stop Spectre's Link Monsters from attacking, but neglected to use the offensive effect of "Overload Anchor". Spectre called Playmaker's moves pointless, as he could not do anything without attacking, and he Link Summoned the Link-4 "[[Sunavalon Dryatrentiay (anime)|Sunavalon Dryatrentiay]]" and destroyed Playmaker's protective Spell and Trap Cards, then brought out another "Sunvine Thrasher", whose ATK became 4000. Although the newly Summoned "Thrasher" could not attack, "Dryatrentiay" gained the ATK of the monsters it pointed to, and Spectre attempted to inflict the final blow, but Playmaker had anticipated this and [[Link Surge Counter|made]] the ATK of "Excode Talker" equal to that of "Sunavalon Dryatrentiay", destroying both of them. Spectre claimed it was still pointless, for "Sunavalon Force" reduced Playmaker to 50 LP. But Spectre's advantage was cut short by the sight of "Dryantrentiay" falling, reminding him of the death of the tree from his childhood. With his "Sunavalon" destroyed, Spectre's combo was destroyed. Screaming for his sacred tree, Spectre revived "Dryatrentiay" with "[[Sunavalon Cursed Rebirth]]", negating its effects and making its ATK 4000, while also ensuring that Playmaker would take any damage Spectre took.<ref name="ep37"/> Playmaker's [[Cal Kolter|allies]] suddenly attempted to release Zaizen, but failed. Zaizen then grasped his prison, infecting himself with the virus and being absorbed by the Tower of Hanoi. Spectre laughed at Zaizen for entrusting the future to a man who could not win, but an enraged Playmaker reminded him that his Dueling always won, and that his doubts had disappeared with Zaizen gone. Playmaker [[Talkback Lancer (anime)|resurrected]] "Excode Talker", and raised it ATK to 4000 with "Link Atrocity" to match that of "Dryatrentiay". Spectre believed Playmaker was aiming for mutual destruction, and declared that his goal was complete, for Playmaker would never reach Varis. But Playmaker replied that Spectre's goal was gone, as "Link Atrocity" reduced the ATK of "Dryatrentiay" back to 0, and "Excode Talker" destroyed it, defeating Spectre. Unable to believe his loss, Spectre started shaking, thinking he should have let Playmaker fall. He didn't expect his loyalty to Varis would backfire, but declared that he had no regrets. Playmaker claimed that he had no doubts anymore, but Spectre told him doubt and regret were two different things. With "Dryatrentiay" destroyed, the bridge began to collapse, and Playmaker fled as Spectre laughed madly an apologized to Varis for his incompetence. But to his horror, he saw "Dryatrentiay" burning before him, and as he recalled the tree from his youth he wept for his "mother" and was buried in the flaming debris.

VRAINS|87|ref}}</ref> Three months after the Tower of Hanoi's failure, Spectre joined Varis, Faust, and Dr. Genome in the Knights' control room, where they discussed recent events. They noted that the [[Cyberse (world)|Cyberse]] had been destroyed and the [[Ignis]] scattered while they were building the Tower, and one of them, the [[Flame (character)|FIRE Ignis]], had met with his partner, [[Theodore Hamilton]]. Spectre wondered why [[Earth (character)|his Ignis]] hadn't tried to seek him out, and Dr. Genome reminded him that they were trying to kill the Ignis, so Spectre's Ignis would never have sought out a Knight of Hanoi. Spectre expressed amusement that [[George Gore|The Gore]] was working for [[SOL Technologies]] as a Bounty Hunter, and noted that Soulburner must be strong to have defeated him. When Varis revealed that a gate created by an Ignis program had appeared in the depths of [[LINK VRAINS]], Spectre was amused by SOL Technologies' carelessness in concealing it. They deduced that the Ignis were responsible and were forming a plan. Spectre then assisted Roken, Alec, and Genome in breaking Klarissa out of prison, reforming the [[Knights of Hanoi]].<ref name="ep59" /> [[File:Soulburner meets Spectre.png|thumb|right|250px|Spectre meeting [[Theodore Hamilton|Soulburner]] and [[Flame (character)|Flame]] in [[Windy's Cyberse]]]]Spectre participated in the Knights of Hanoi's attack on [[Windy]]'s [[Windy's Cyberse|fabricated Cyberse]], while Varis went to rescue [[Yusaku Fujiki|Playmaker]] and [[Ai]] from [[Lightning]] and Windy, opposing four [[Echo (VRAINS)|Echo]]es with "[[Sunavalon Dryanome (anime)|Sunavalon Dryanome]]".<ref name="ep68">{{episode|Yu-Gi-Oh!

Soulburner found Spectre on the steps surrounded by the destroyed Echoes, and realized who Spectre was. Spectre introduced himself and explained he knew who they began were, and he reassured them that he didn't intend to fight them. He brought them in to show them Lightning and Windy's plans, telling Soulburner to be mindful of whether he wanted to Duelcontinue fighting with Flame. During They entered as Windy claimed Varis would lose, though Spectre found the idea amusing as the Duelwas reaching its climax. Lightning attempted to capture Spectre, Soulburner and Flame when they arrived, but Flame protected them with a program and freed Playmaker and Ai. Spectre watched as Varis defeated Windy, and as the Commanders used a virus on Windy to erase him, though Lightning saved Windy and revealed [[Jin Kolter]] as [[Bohman]] and [[Harlin]] arrived.<ref name="ep70">{{episode|Yu-Gi-Oh!

That night they discussed finding the Ignis on Roken's speedboat, and came to the conclusion that they would need several skilled hackers in order to find the Ignis. They decided to approach Kenneth first, and Varis logged in to confront him, though despite Varis defeating The Shepherd in a Duel, he refused to work with them.<ref name="ep78">{{episode|Yu-Gi-Oh!

He also revealed Varis noted that he'd warned Shepherd about Lightning's [[Link Spell Card]], and they observed as Shepherd successfully countered "[[Judgment Arrows]]".<ref name="ep79">{{episode|Yu-Gi-Oh!

Shepherd was able to bring Lightning down to 200 LP, a boyquantity that Spectre noted was low enough for any attack to defeat Lightning. However, Lightning was able to redraw "Judgment Arrows" and defeat Shepherd, erasing his data. Varis noted to Spectre that Shepherd had made no mistakes, he grew up but had still been defeated.<ref name="ep80">{{episode|Yu-Gi-Oh!

VRAINS|85|ref}}</ref> As Spectre easily defeated a BitBoot, Mirror LINK VRAINS realigned with LINK VRAINS and cut off the Data Material flow, deactivating everyone's Duel Boards; Spectre was sent tumbling into a canyon. As he explored the area, he was approached by Lightning and Jin, and only felt comfort after inquiring about everyone's safety, he realized that Lightning intended to eliminate the weakest Duelists of the team first, starting with him. Spectre took this insult well, claiming that the weak served the tree strong as he did Varis and that once protected he had chosen to obey Varis of his own free will. He discussed the lose of Earth with Lightning, and tried to blame himfor his death, but Lightning claimed that the Knights of Hanoi attacking them in the first place were to blame, until said tree and they decided that further talk was cut pointless, beginning their Duel. Lightning locked Spectre downwith an Extra Link on the first turn, preventing Spectre from using his best strategies. Despite his disadvantage, Spectre stole Lightning's "Judgment Arrows" with "[[Sunvine Plunder]]", bypassing the need for [[Extra Monster Zone]]s to Summon his [[Link Monster]]s to and chided Lightning for his arrogance, suggesting that it stemmed from a complex. Lightning's silence confirmed to Spectre revealed that he pledged was correct, and Lightning warned Spectre that he didn't care for his probing. Spectre politely apologized, before Link Summoning "[[Sunvine Thrasher (anime)|Sunvine Thrasher]]" and using its effect to steal one of Lightning's "[[Armatos Legio Decurion]]", cumulatively destroying them and bringing out "[[Sunavalon Dryas (anime)|Sunavalon Dryas]]", taking control of the Extra Monster Zone.<ref name="ep86" /> Lightning strengthened his defenses, so Spectre brought out two "[[Sunavalon Melias (anime)|Sunavalon Melias]]" and a new "Thrasher" to allow "Thrasher" to attack multiple times, although Lightning was able to blunt the effects of Spectre's attacks. With his attacks finished, Spectre re-arranged his monsters to create his own Extra Link, and he was ecstatic that he had succeeded in creating the Extra Link, before briefly creating an Ultimate Extra Link. He brought out "[[Sunavalon Dryanome (anime)|Sunavalon Dryanome]]", suggesting that Lightning's inability to understand his field's beauty was linked to what he was hiding. Lightning snapped, revealing that he'd known that Spectre would try to take "Judgment Arrows", and used "[[Judgment Sword]]" to banish and then re-Summon "Dryanome", much to Spectre's fury. Lightning then brought out both "[[Armatos Legio Tribunus Militum]]" and "[[Armatos Legio Magnus Dux]]", using their combined effects to reclaim "Judgment Arrows" and systematically destroy Spectre's field until only "Dryanome" remained, before re-activating "Judgment Arrows" to double the [[ATK]] of "Magnus Dux", destroying Spectre's beloved mother tree and defeating him. Spectre apologized to Varis as Lightning converted his loyalty Avatar into data, having Jin squeeze it before sparing Spectre's data.<ref name="ep87" /> Lightning later held Spectre's data hostage alongside that of Jin to prevent Varis from attacking him during their Duel.

[[File:Spectre Deck Picture.png|thumb|250px|right|Spectre and "[[Sunavalon Dryas (anime)|Sunavalon Dryas]]".]]Spectre uses a '''"[[Sunavalon]]"/"[[Sunvine]]" Deck''' that focuses around Plant-type Link Monsters with defensive effects, mainly in the form of [[Damage|damage]] reductionand protecting his central "Sunavalon" monster, which he supports with the "Sunavalon's" effects to instantly Summon "Sunvine" monsters when he takes damage. For offensive tactics, Spectre relies on stealing the his opponent's Monstersmonsters with the effect of "[[Sunvine Thrasher (anime)|Sunvine Thrasher]]", which becomes more powerful depending on the "Sunavalon" that it is linked to. Spectre also puts a strong focus on continously continuously increasing his LP to survive whatever strategy the opponent comes up with. He can also increase the ATK of his "Sunavalon" monsters if he needs to. The main disadvantages to Spectre's strategies are his reliance on Link Monsters, the zones his "Sunavalon" monsters pointing to being locked down, or his main "Sunavalon" monster being destroyed, as this more often than not causes his entire combo to self-destruct. After watching Varis and Playmaker's second Master Duel, Spectre added the capability to perform an [[Extra Link]] as well as an Ultimate Extra Link to his Deck, using cards such as "[[Sunseed Twin (anime)|Sunseed Twin]]" and "[[Sunseed Shadow (anime)|Sunseed Shadow]]" to easily swarm the field with Link Monsters. He also added "[[Sunvine Plunder]]" to his Deck to combat the Ignis' "[[Judgment Arrows]]" to also use in his Extra Link strategy, as well as to power up his beatdown strategy with "[[Sunvine Thrasher (anime)|Sunvine Thrasher]]".
