Avatar Macha

.hack//G.U. Games

Macha is the Avatar controlled by Endrance. He uses it to cheat in the Arena, defeating players in one blow. Haseo confronts him however, and is able to use Skeith to defeat him and take his title of Champion, destroying "Mia", an AIDA that was infecting him, in the process.

.hack//GU+

In GU+, Macha is controlled by Endrance, a powerful fighter in the Arena. After watching him defeat Alkaid, Haseo realizes that Endrance is an Epitaph User. Endrance challenges Haseo to a fight but loses when Haseo summons Avatar Skeith and defeats him. After the fight, Endrance is attacked by Tri-Edge whiles exploring a field. He summons Macha to defend him, but Tri-Edge defeats them both, causing Endrance to fall into a coma in the real world.

Trivia

• According to the uncanonical Liminality Easter Eggs, Macha is a program designed to collect data on human affection (but only that which arises from unrequited love).
• Macha's original Japanese name was spelt Maha, but the spelling for the Japanese release was changed to Macha, who is a Celtic war goddess, and the sister of the Celtic goddess Morrigan, or Morganna. (However, in Celtic transcripts, the letters "ch" are pronounced as a strong "h". Thus, Macha is actually pronounced "MaHa". The Japanese phonetic transliteration, then, is indeed correct.)
