Kajir, also known as “the Shadow”, “Pirate Cat” , is an hero for Gigantic: Rampage Edition.

This hero, under code name “Shadow”, was mentioned numerous times in game's text file with common hero upgrades (such as “Acrobatics”, “Will to Power”, etc).

In March 2018 modeler and concept artist Katy Hargrove posted images and a model of unknown character titled “Pirate Cat”.^[1] Later a screenshot of his early and final concept arts was leaked, followed by leaked skin concept art titled “Shadow Cosmetics” (all concept arts by Devon Cady-Lee).

There were speculations on Jherico being the “Wildcat” due latter's placeholder portrait from game files using head silhouette of “Pirate Cat”, but later they were stated to be different characters.^[2]

In July 2018 Kajir's concept arts and gameplay (in one of the recent core test builds of the game, where he is named “Kajir”) were shown at Farewell Stream.^[3] He was an Assassin type hero, with maximum “Offense” and “Utility” stats (see: Media).

In much older (dated to 2016) core test build, leaked not long before the stream, Jherico uses Knossos' set of animations with his own prototype model. Later, in the middle of August, was leaked another core build, supposedly dated after game's post-release August 2017 update: here Jherico already uses his own model, but some of his animations aren't finished and he doesn't have skins and voice lines.

Jherico was planned to be released with sky pirate themed update.

Descriptions of upgrades are taken from leaked core test build, dated to 2016.

According to concept artist Devon Cady-Lee, “Jherico was a crook, an assassin and an ex-skypirate rolled into one,” who “stole a magic talisman from a Moon temple once, that he later discovered gave him invisibilty and power over shadow”, “participates in the fights to gain fortune and nothing else” and “would probably just retire on an island somewhere.”^[4]

At Farewell Stream were shown his common (base model) skins, but they all share same lore note, which refers to Kajir's stealth abilities:^[3]
