Shiroe is the major protagonist of the Log Horizon’s adventure series. His actual name is Kei Shirogane but he is popularly called Shiroe. He is also the founding Guild Master of Log Horizon. He is half all of the Enchanter class and is likewise a Scribe. Shiroe is a slender young man with black hair and you will always recognize him wearing round glasses. His outfit includes a brown turtleneck sweater over green pants. Furthermore, he always wears his Dazaneg’s Magic Bag across his chest. His boots are also green like his pants.
Shiroe is a graduate of engineering who had been playing the Elder Tale for nearly eight years. He was an expert player of the MMORPG Elder Tale Game. Shiroe joined various groups and embarked on raids for different purposes. He joined the Debauchery Tea Party but later left. As a member of the Debauchery Tea Party, he functioned as their strategist.
Currently, he is the Guild Master of Log Horizon. At first, Shiroe was not too excited about joining guilds not until the Apocalypse occurred. The pressures and necessities of the moments demanded that the players needed to come together in order to form a guild to survive.
SHIROE BEFORE THE CATASTROPHE
During his childhood, Shiroe had difficulties socializing. Consequently, in school, he would prefer to go to the library than make friends or hang out with his peers. As a result, he developed an inferiority complex and was scared of mingling.
Shiroe is remarkably humble; fearing to appear arrogant he became self-conscious. He is a goal-getter and will craftily use any possible means to achieve his targets provided he finds a greater good in it.
Naturally, he became an introvert and finds comfort staying indoors. His parents were barely at home. So in effect, he grew up without parental attachment. He, therefore, found comfort in gaming.
Shiroe began playing the game Elder Tale by 15 years. He was an Enchanter in the game and assumed the named Shiroe, (a shortened version of Shirogane).
SHIROE AND THE CATASTROPHE
The Catastrophe is a strange event that occurred and changed Shiroe’s life. Shiroe with Minori and Touya were surveying a beginners’ area for practice purposes. Then, something extraordinary happened. This was as soon as the Homesteading the Noosphere expansion pack was released. Shiroe’s computer screen was covered with absolute blackness. Immediately, the blackness consumed him. When he recovered, he was no longer in his room but rather found himself inside the fantasy game-city of Akiba.
Initially, he was confused and did not know where he was. Due to familiarity, he soon began wondering whether he was really inside the Elder Tale game. He satisfied his curiosity only after accidentally activating what looked like the in-game menu. It was only then he became convinced that somehow he was now a character in the game.

SHIROE AFTER THE CATASTROPHE
To survive alone is like attempting suicide in the Elder Tale game. Therefore, players essentially had to belong to guilds to survive. But Shiroe was a lone kid and therefore had doubts about joining guilds. Apparently, this had to do with his nasty experiences. People had only tried to take advantage of his skills in the past. He, however, teamed up with an informal group of players known as the Debauchery Tea Party. He became their strategist.
Due to Shiroe’s shy nature, he chose an unpopular class in the Elder Tale game. His main class was therefore the Enchanter. The Enchanter is totally a support class. He chose Scribe as his subclass.

- Abyssal Shaft Raid Party
