Isaac, also known as Black Sword Isaac, is the guild master of Black Sword Knights. He is a Human Guardian-Gladiator and a member of the Round Table Alliance. Prior to the Catastrophe, he was a carpenter. His real name is Araki Takafumi, and he at one point assisted the founder of the Kahoku Construction Company, Miyagi prefecture. Isaac is a rowdy person who enjoys fighting, taking comments from his guild members like "You're really naggy, Commander," and "Chief is an idiot" in stride and treating them like compliments. Though he is easily irritated when people don't immediately agree with his views, he is not unwilling to listen to others. Early on, Isaac is antagonistic, elitist, and proud. Even before the Catastrophe, his arguments with Woodstock W over his elitist policies culminated in Woodstock leaving the guild, and Marielle wonders if "he just enjoys excluding others." He regarded People of the Earth as NPCs with no minds of their own and bought EXP Pots from Hamelin despite knowing the guild's cruel methods. He grows out of this unbecoming side of himself after the Round Table Alliance is established, and reveals that his gruff demeanor hides a thoughtful side. His aggressive policies in the aftermath of the Catastrophe were meant to keep his guild members motivated and distracted from the uncertainties of their current situation. Despite his negative initial impression of Iselus, he quickly came to respect how hard Iselus worked to become a suitable successor to his grandfather. He appears to respect those who accomplish things through their own effort, and strongly disapproves of Eins' more communistic approach to Akiban affairs.
Log Horizon
In the blink of an eye, thirty thousand bewildered Japanese gamers are whisked from their everyday lives into the world of the popular MMORPG, Elder Tale, after the game's latest update—unable to log out. Among them is the socially awkward college student Shiroe, whose confusion and shock lasts only a moment as, a veteran of the game, he immediately sets out to explore the limits of his new reality. Shiroe must learn to live in this new world, leading others and negotiating with the NPC "natives" in order to bring stability to the virtual city of Akihabara. He is joined by his unfortunate friend Naotsugu, having logged in for the first time in years only to find himself trapped, and Akatsuki, a petite but fierce assassin who labels Shiroe as her master. A tale of fantasy, adventure, and politics, Log Horizon explores the elements of gaming through the eyes of a master strategist who attempts to make the best of a puzzling situation.
Log Horizon 2
After being trapped in the world of Elder Tale for six months, Shiroe and the other Adventurers have begun to get the hang of things in their new environment. The Adventurers are starting to gain the trust of the People of the Land, and Akiba has flourished thanks to the law and order established by Shiroe's Round Table Alliance, regaining its everyday liveliness. Despite this success, however, the Alliance faces a new crisis: they are running out of funds to govern Akiba, and spies from the Minami district have infiltrated the city. As formidable forces rise in other districts, there is also a need to discover more about the vast new world they are trapped in—leading Shiroe to decide that the time has come to venture outside the city. Accompanied by his friend Naotsugu and the Sage of Mirror Lake Regan, the calculative Shiroe makes his move, hoping to unravel new possibilities and eventually find a way home.
Log Horizon: Destruction Of the Round Table
A year after the adventurers were blown into the Elder Tale world, Akiba's prosperity begins to teeter with the emergence of a new monster ("Genius"), a festering power struggle between the east-west aristocrats, and the growing gap among the adventurers themselves. Finally, the Round Table, the symbol of their unity, faces a decisive crisis...
