Shapur was a great mystery, very little about him being revealed, after all, it's hard to learn about a guy who left no witnesses. What is known is that he was Farian. Shapur was very devoted to the Magi, failures and betrayals causing him to go into a controlled rage. One notable betrayal Shapur dealt with was that of Kara's, reacting by stabbing her in the back and then claiming her Black Knight ark as his own. In spite of being defeated in battle Shapur managed to escape and remained at Grazel's side. He was killed when he arrogantly attacked Madoras to retrieve the Black Knight.
