A lethal assassin from a tale of espers and humans, told in a distant world—his face and true identity cloaked in darkness. So cold that it is said he would kill even his best friend for a price, he counts his loyal canine partner Interceptor as his only true friend. He joins Locke and his companions for a time, only to disappear as soon as his debt is paid. Showing little attachment to the world of the living, he seems somehow to be always searching for a place to die.

Quotes[]

Background Story[]

5★ A lethal assassin from a tale of espers and humans, told in a distant world—his face and true identity cloaked in darkness. So cold that it is said he would kill even his best friend for a price, he counts his loyal canine partner Interceptor as his only true friend. He joins Locke and his companions for a time, only to disappear as soon as his debt is paid. Showing little attachment to the world of the living, he seems somehow to be always searching for a place to die.
6★ A lethal assassin from a tale of espers and humans, told in a distant world. Once a famed train robber, he lost the will to live after leaving his wounded friend and cohort Baram to die after their greatest heist. Wandering the realm in search of a place to die, his repeated meetings and partings with Locke and his friends rekindle in the depths of his heart the faintest feelings of friendship. In truth, he is father to Relm of Thamasa Village, a secret he takes to his grave.
7★ A lethal assassin from a tale of espers and humans, told in a distant world. Even willing to betray his own allies for the right price, very few have seen his unmasked face. Having committed several train heists in the past, he left behind his fatally wounded partner Baram to die, experiencing horrible nightmares every night from then on as a result. It is said that after the end of the world, he lived only to fight in the Coliseum, almost as if he were seeking his own death.

But until then, you'll get your money's worth.
6★ I suppose I can stay a bit longer.
I'm not leaving this world behind until

7★ There is nothing I can teach you.

Notes[]

Gameplay

  • Players can receive a free copy of this unit, alongside the necessary materials to obtain his TMR, STMR, and NV Awakening through the Final Fantasy VI event, Zozo.
  • Shadow has a variation: Assassin Shadow.
  • In the Japanese version, Assassin Shadow received his Ability Awakenings prior to the release of the Neo Vision era. This was not made available in the Global version prior to the release of the NV era, thus all his fully awakened abilities and latent abilities were integrated with his NV awakening in the Global version.

Trivia

  • The item Memento Ring and its upgraded version has a great significance to both Shadow and Relm. It is one of their signature items, a reflection of their relationship with each other.
