Description: He is a mite stocky and is constantly adorned with expensive silk clothing, often dyed in bright blue and pastel, and wears rings and necklaces with large, colorful gems. He has styled his silver hair well, parting it to the left. His violet eyes peer out from beneath his wide-brimmed blue hat.

His father taught him the rudiments of the Soapmaker arts, while his mother instructed him in etiquette, music and courtly manner. He moved out south to avoid the crime he committed.

Description: He dresses in pastel turtlenecks beneath a green coat with tan slacks. His attire stands in sharp contrast to his lance, which is beautifully polished and possesses an ornate carving of a butterfly on it. His lavender fur is singed and shortened. Judging by the bloodshot nature of his eyes and the massive bags underneath them one would imagine he has not slept for days.

Personality: He is a man who does what he needs to. He will acquiesce to black mail and extortion to avoid trouble. He lacks moral complications. He does what he is told to by employers but not much else. He spends his money on whatever he fancies at the time.

History: Trained by his mother for as long as he can remember he had it drilled in his head that it was his duty to serve his country. His parents died when he was young, and he was unceremoniously dumped in the city orphanage. Shadow grew up in the orphanage, tormented by the older kids and famished from lack of food. To avoid death by starvation, most orphans take to a life of crime or prostitution (often both), and so did Shadow. He hasn't been sleeping well lately.
