He is a medium-range, damage-dealer member of the Sleeping Knights, a guild of terminally ill patients who met in Serene Garden and played various virtual reality games as a form of palliative care. Talken had played a variety of virtual reality games, until the guild eventually arrived to ALfheim Online, where Talken chose to be a Leprechaun.

Kirito awakens in a vast, fantastical forest filled with towering trees. In his search for clues to the truth of his surroundings, he encounters a young boy who seems to know him. He ought to be a simple NPC, but the depth of his emotions seem no different than a human. As they search for the boy's parents, Kirito finds a peculiar memory returning to him. A memory from his own childhood, of this boy and a girl, too, with golden hair, and a name he should have never forgotten - Alice.

Zach Aguilar is an LA-based voice actor known for being a vocal "chameleon." He is also a well-versed pianist of 10 years, martial artist, and singer on the side.

When Zach was young, he would often take days off from school and do acting auditions in Hollywood. This is all thanks to his mom, who would often call the school and tell them that his son was "sick". At an undisclosed time, he almost got out of acting completely until he was about 12 or 13 years old when he decided to get back into acting because of his interest in anime and video games. He took some voiceover classes and started to pursue voiceover afterwards. 

He won an Anime Expo competition back in 2014. Zach claims this to be his first big studio role, which would lead him to "greater things" later on.

One year after the SAO incident, Kirito is approached by Seijiro Kikuoka from Japan's Ministry of Internal Affairs and Communications Department "VR Division" with a rather peculiar request.

That was an investigation on the "Death Gun" incident that occurred in the gun and steel filled VRMMO called Gun Gale Online (GGO). "Players who are shot by a mysterious avatar with a jet black gun lose their lives even in the real world..." Failing to turn down Kikuoka's bizarre request, Kirito logs in to GGO even though he is not completely convinced that the virtual world could physically affect the real world. 
 
Kirito wanders in an unfamiliar world in order to gain any clues about the "Death Gun." Then, a female sniper named Sinon who owns a gigantic "Hecate II" rifle extends Kirito a helping hand. With Sinon's help, Kirito decides to enter the "Bullet of Bullets," a large tournament to choose the most powerful gunner within the realm of GGO, in hopes to become the target of the "Death Gun" and make direct contact with the mysterious avatar.

The final load test... The war between the Human Empire and the Dark Territory has engulfed Underworld entirely. The battle has shifted course with the Dark Territory army led by Gabriel, who seeks to capture Alice, the Priestess of Light, against Asuna and the Human Empire forces fighting to save Underworld. 
 
As Kirito's consciousness remains buried in a deep sleep, Gabriel, standing in as the Dark God Vecta, has recruited thousands of American players to log in to Underworld to annihilate the Human Empire forces. Meanwhile, Asuna, Sinon, and Leafa have joined the battle utilizing three super-accounts of the deities of the Underworld. As the Goddess of Creation Stacia Asuna fights alongside the Human Empire forces to take on the American players in a vicious combat. Sinon, who has gained the super-account for the Sun Goddess Solus, is in pursuit of Gabriel, who has abducted Alice, while Leafa arrives to Underworld with the super-account Earth Goddess Terraria. 
 
But that is not all... 
 
The impassioned speech by Lisbeth has convinced many ALO players to join the fight with the Human Empire despite the risks. With this great war, not only Underworld's continued existence, but the bottom-up artificial intelligence, the ultimate AI, and even the future of mankind is at stake. 
 
Though he has yet to awaken, only one man holds the fate of this world: the Black Swordsman.

But in the warped world of SAO, "game over" means certain death - both virtual and real...
