History

Epitaph of Twilight

In the Epitaph of Twilight, Tarvos stands ready to cruelly and mercilessly strike down anyone who manages to escape from the Wave, although it seems that no one can.

.hack//Games

In an attempt to contain the Cursed Wave, the hacker Helba created a powerful vaccine program designed to trap part of the Wave in a specific location. Each member of the .hackers was given part of the vaccine and instructed to create a barrier around the Wave in a formation dubbed "Operation Orca". Her program worked, sealing Tarvos in the field Ω Cruel Vindictive Scars. Kite quickly formed a battle party and confronted the Phase, defeating it after a lengthy battle.

In XXXX, Tarvos appears in Mac Anu while Kite is missing. It does quite a lot of damage to the town, and is about to kill BlackRose when Aura destroys it.

End of The World

Though Tarvos had been defeated, fragments of its data still existed within The World. These fragments were gathered by the genius programmer Jyotaro Amagi and sealed into a special Epitaph PC created to control the Phase's powers. Frightened by Amagi's increasingly erratic behavior Jun Bansyoya stole the Epitaph PC containing Tarvos and hid it on his own personal computer. However Amagi had expected this and had already prepared a dummy Epitaph PC as a backup. Following the disastrous test of the Epitaph PC's Jun E-mailed the Epitaph PC to his sister Reiko for her to use in restoring the system.

Avatar Tarvos

.hack//G.U. Games

Using the Epitaph PC data sent to her by Jun Bansyoya, Reiko created a PC named Pi. Though it appeared to be a normal PC on the outside, Tarvos's data was sealed inside it, and was released as an Avatar after Pi was attacked by an AIDA. Pi slowly learned how to control Tarvos, however she lost control of it while on a routine system search.

Pi and Haseo were investigating a dungeon that was reported being infected by an AIDA. When they encountered an AIDA trying to infect Zelkova and Kaede, Pi jumped in the way and became infected with the AIDA instead of Zelkova. The AIDA inside Pi took over and released Tarvos out of Pi's control, forcing Haseo to activate Skeith and defeat Tarvos in combat.
