Editing Wraith Sorcerer

[[File:ROM6 wraith sorcerer.jpg|thumb|Designed specifically to prompt as much fanart on Tumblr as possible.]]

Every caste system needs a ruler and for the [[Dire Wraith]]s, those rulers are the '''Wraith Sorcerers'''. The deadliest and most elite of the Wraiths, the Sorcerers are the brains behind the Wraith plans for galactic conquest wielding their powerful dark [[magic]] to reshape the world to their desires and crush their foes.

They are ''not'' invulnerable, however, as said magical spells need time to be properly crafted leaving them as vulnerable as any other Wraith while they channel their energy.

==Fiction==
===2005 IDW continuity===
As [[Rom]] explained to [[Darby Mason]], the Sorcerer Caste of Wraiths broke the spirits of the people living on a planet before the [[Wraith Soldier|soldiers]] went to work ravaging the surface of the world. {{storylink|Earthfall: Part Two}}

In the mid-19th century, the Sorcerer [[Vekktral]] was on [[Mato Grosso (planet)|Mato Grosso]] where he assaulted [[Stardrive]] before teleporting away as [[Space Knight]]s arrived. While on a training mission a few years later, [[Livia]] despaired at the lack of Sorcerers present as she only had Wraith Soldiers to fight. {{storylink|Shining Armor issue 1|Shining Armor #1}}

A cabal of Wraith Sorcerers arrived on the planet [[Verdulun-5]] to attempt to terraform it but the planet's uni-mind managed to assimilate them gaining their intelligence {{storylink|Battle Scars, Part 2}} and desire for conquest. {{storylink|Battle Scars, Part 4}} As a result the planet read as having Wraith DNA in its makeup. {{storylink|Battle Scars, Part 1}} A single Wraith Sorcerer was sent to Verdulun-5 to try and assert control over it only to find it had been destroyed. It was hardly a wasted trip however, as he found intact pieces of [[Space Knight armor]]. {{storylink|Battle Scars, Part 4}} 

In 2016, after explaining the Wraiths to Darby, Rom flew off to save [[Camilla Byers]] from [[Wraith Stalker]]s. When his [[Energy Analyzer|Analyzer]] read several soldiers as human, he stood down only for the Wraith Sorcerer [[D'rge]] to reveal himself and taunt Rom before subjecting the Space Knight to magical torture. {{storylink|Earthfall: Part Two}} Through his magic, D'rge attempted to remove Rom's [[Space Knight armor|armor]] and was able to use telepathy to explain to Camila the history of the Dire Wraiths on [[Earth]]. Rom eventually freed himself from the Sorcerer's magics, prompting D'rge to flee while one of his subordinates held the Space Knight off. {{storylink|Earthfall: Part Three}}

A Wraith Sorceress who had assumed the identity of White House worker "Ms. Jiminez" seized command of the White House through her forces to try and acquire a case of [[Ore-13]]. She was successful in merging with the Ore, adopting the form of a Cybertronian sized [[Wraith Hawk]]. Despite her newfound power however, she was ultimately defeated by [[Thundercracker (G1)/2005 IDW continuity|Thundercracker]]. {{storylink|Thundercracker & Buster Save the World}}

A Wraith Sorcerer residing in a house near [[Aberdeen]] in [[Scotland]] created a portal to summon in more Dire Wraiths when members of the recommissioned [[G.I. Joe (team)|G.I. Joe]] arrived to investigate a temporal disruption, but the portal was cut off when [[Scarlett]] shot the Wraith through the head, killing it. {{storylink|Wrath of Karza issue 1|Wrath of Karza #1}}

Elsewhere, a Wraith Sorcerer who had assumed the identity of the human [[Kagan Knight]] started a cult that would allow him to feed off the psionic energy of humans. {{storylink|Reinforcements, Part 3}} Reconvening with more Sorcerers beneath an oil platform, Knight fed his energy to the [[Presence]]. When Space Knights arrived, the Sorcerers saw fit to summon the "[[Absence]]" to fight them off. {{storylink|Reinforcements, Part 4}} When [[Orphion]] fired [[Neutralizer]] energy down the platform, the Sorcerers were all killed by it. {{storylink|Reinforcements, Part 5}}

Kagan Knight later moved his operation to the middle of the desert in [[Utah]] before he was tracked down and slain by Orphion. Orphion then tracked the psychic energies that been released to a large crack in the ground while being observed by D'rge and the Absence. {{storylink|Long Roads to Ruin, Part 4}}

When the Cybertronians were occupied with a crisis on [[Cybertron (planet)|Cybertron]], D'rge and another Sorcerer seized on the opportunity to consolidate their power over Earth and created a virus that magically turned humans into Dire Wraiths. The virus proved unstable however and an attempt to use against the [[Micronaut]]s led the alternate universe aliens to the Sorcerers. Though the Micronauts easily overpowered the Wraith Soldiers, the Sorcerers used their magic to disorient the miniature heroes. {{storylink|Micronauts: First Strike}} After refining the virus, D'rge and a fellow Sorcerer took the virus to a carnival where the latter released the virus from atop the ferris wheel before Rom managed to slay her. After destroying the virus, Rom was knocked out by D'rge before the Micronauts managed to send him running. In the Wraiths' hideout, [[Baron Karza]] killed a Wraith Sorcerer to get D'rge's attention before he offered a mutually beneficial alliance. {{storylink|ROM: First Strike}}
