Shadow, a formidable operative within the Black Riders, enforces Lord Anvis’s will through brutal tactics to advance the Rite of Overlapping. Her sister’s death during a botched ritual under Anvis’s orders ignites a vengeful obsession that eclipses her loyalty. When Anvis’s corporeal form is left vulnerable and discarded after Gale’s Heroic Sacrifice, Shadow tracks him to the desolate shores of Monsonne Plains. There, she delivers fatal retribution with a blade and a whispered condemnation, avenging her sister’s blood.

Even as alliances fracture and others seek peace, Shadow persists in her destructive crusade, relentlessly hunting monsters long after the conflict’s tide has shifted. Her actions, driven by unresolved anguish and steadfast allegiance to the Black Riders’ cause, cement her role as an unyielding antagonist. Her origins and the trajectory of her path beyond these pivotal moments remain uncharted.
