In the Four Swords manga by Akira Himekawa, a Chief Soldier is given the name Artura,[3] and is the leader of Hyrule's guardians. Artura is later possessed by Vaati.[citation needed] The Links hesitate to fight Artura and his soldiers due to them being former friends before falling under Vaati's influence.[citation needed]
Later, Link's Father is turned into a similar entity by Vaati and is sent to attack the Links, who he mistakes for impostors. But he is able to snap out of Vaati's control, and then attacks the Wind Mage, who was disguised as Zelda.
