Shades



The Shades are the foot-soldiers of SHADOW, created by injecting a mixture known as Shadowbane directly into a human's bloodstream.

Shadowbane
Shadowbane is created by mixing Dark Water with two other biological ingredients.
 * Tardigrades
 * Leeches

Abilities
Shades have increased strength, speed and stamina. However, their mental capabilities are severely reduced.

Appearance
The Shades are all dressed in very dark brown clothing consisting of loose fitting trousers tucked into heavy boots, a tight fitting long-sleeved vest and a hooded jacket. The hoods of the jacket have two peaks at the front on either side which give the impression of ears. They wear a mask over the their nose and mouth which looks like a dogs snout.

Encounters
The first time any member of the Foundation encounters a Shade is when Silas and Cecelia are in the Major-General's study
