Anke, also known as Echo, is a character introduced in Metal Slug: Awakening. She serves as the main antagonist and final boss of Season 2's World Adventure.
Character Summary[]
Anke is the Archon of Atlan. As the leader of her land, she told her people that the Black Magic Curse was caused by the land folk, a lie she fabricated to seal Altan all year round. She chose to collaborate with the Rebel Army to maintain her rule.
Anke is her real name, although its a real name she disclosed to the public to establish an approachable image. In ancient times, she was known by her clan as the Empress of Styx. Anke's original form is a deep-sea bream, and her clan has a rare symbiotic relationship with jellyfish. Anke's symbiotic jellyfish is a Stygian known as a the Soul-Stealer. It wears a large round hat on its head and has tentacles that are dozens of meters long, amazing everyone with its appearance. This is also why Anke was predestined to serve the Ocean Heart and become Atlan's leader from birth.
Before Atlan fully separated from the ground, the merfolk often played on the surface of the sea. Anke's parents were hunted down and killed by humans during one of their family outings causing her to despise the land folk. As the Archon, she implemented a sea ban policy while expediting the operation of the Ocean Heart.
Maybe she only meant to make herself stronger and protect Atlan. Maybe she also panicked when dealing with the uncontrollable spread of the Black Magic Curse. However, the arrival of Morden caused this extreme Archon to thoroughly transform into a scheming careerist.[1]
