History

Epitaph of Twilight

In the Epitaph of Twilight, Innis uses the power of illusions to assist the Cursed Wave.

.hack//Games

After receiving a hint from Aura, Kite and BlackRose travel to the dungeon of Λ Resurrecting Confused Judgement. While exploring the dungeon they are confronted several times by a Mirage of Innis, who fades away each time Kite attacks it. At the bottom the real Innis appears, and attacks the pair. A fierce battle insues but in the end Innis is data drained and defeated. The fight temporarily destablilizes the system, causing almost all players in The World to get disconnected from the game.

.hack//Another Birth

Innis is destroyed by Cubia.

.hack//XXXX

While Balmung confronts Kite after the defeat of Skeith, the human avatar of Cubia tracks down and destroys Innis. Lios observes this happening, and later shows Balmung a recording. The fight makes Cubia realize that he is not strong enough to defeat all the Phases alone, leading him to team up with Kite.

End of The World

Innis's data was retrieved from the system of The World through the Salvage Project designed by the genius programmer Jyotaro Amagi. The data was implanted into an Epitaph PC in the hopes that it could be controlled by CC Corp. The Innis Epitaph PC was given to an unknown player for a test run at CC Corp's headquarters in Japan. Unfortunately the test was a disaster, and in the aftermath of the chaos created by the test Innis's data was able to escape into the system, where it would remain hidden as The World was changed into The World R:2.

After lurking on the system for months, the Epitaph PC containing Innis found a host in the PC known as Shino. However, after she was PKed by Tri-Edge, the Factor left her and found a new host in Atoli. Before Innis could be awakened, Atoli was attacked and Innis was stolen by AIDA who used its "Mirage" ability to create an AIDA Server. This ability was so powerful that it trapped every player currently logged onto The World R:2 inside of the system.

Although the AIDA Server was eventually deactivated, the AIDA kept a hold of Innis. Eventually the AIDA containing Innis attached itself to Sirius. Using the Mirage ability to create illusions of Azure Balmung and Azure Orca Sirius was able to keep his status as Emperor of the Holy Palace without any trouble. Eventually Haseo challenged Sirius to a fight, and was able to defeat the AIDA containing Innis by using Skeith. Now free Innis reattached itself to Atoli.

Realizing that Atoli had regained her Epitaph Sakaki infected her with a new AIDA, and used her power to seize control of Moon Tree, turning its @Home into a new AIDA Server. When Haseo came to destroy the server he found himself facing Atoli. With urging from Sakaki Atoli activated Innis who began to battle with Skeith. Skeith succeeded in defeating Innis, and destroyed the new AIDA server restoring everything to normal. Her Epitaph fully restored, Atoli was now able to summon Innis at will.

Trivia

• According to the uncanonical Liminality Easter Eggs, Innis was a program designed to collect data on human reactions to deceit.
• Innis is the first Phase that has tolerance towards a type and the only Phase that has the ability to teleport instead of the normal quick dash.
• According to Another Birth the party that defeated Innis was Kite, BlackRose, and Elk.
• The skill Kite used on this Phase in the dungeon is Saber Dance.
• Innis's name is romanized Inis in the Japanese version of .hack, though the reason is unknown.
• It's possible that the name "Innis" is a pun on the Latin word meaning "Meaningless". This would seem to make sense as Innis appears to be the mold or outline of something.
