After a long time after the war, the two factions finally reconciled.

==History==
<tabber>
|-|Origins=
===Before Chapter 2===
Midas founded his crew at an unknown time in an unknown realityIn the Burning Wolf Video, we can see that Midas's organization was established in a large castle that did not exist in Reality Zero, they were therefore located in another Reality outside of the world of Fortnite.. Through his covert skills, he set his sights on building an empire of espionage, intrigue, and conquest. For this he recruited three people with great potential to his cause:
*The first was The Burning Wolf, a former knight believed to be a legend by soldiers, and who attacked Midas' crewThe Burning Wolf Trailer; known as Midas' first enforcer.
*The second was Chaos Agent, then known as Chaos Origins, a mad scientist who once defeated The Burning WolfChaos Origins Trailer, and tried to dominate the world before being stopped by Midas himself; known as Midas' first redeemed.
*The third was Sierra, a fighter who lost her family and seeks revenge on the perpetrators; known as Midas' first pardoned. 
Together, they formed The First Shadows: the very first agents of the newly formed faction named SHADOW. This marked the official beginning for the organization beyond Midas' personal conquest.

After an unknown period of time, a new faction appeared in Midas' crew, named GHOST, which quickly became rivals with SHADOW. The Imagined Order recruits the services of GHOST to study and map Apollo...[security encryption M7 authenticated]...

*A.L.T.E.R. team members present on Apollo before E.G.O.'s interference are involved in the trade and marketing of weapons at Dirty DocksDockyard Deal Loading Screen, and have established links with the companies Slurp Co.As evidenced by the Chaos Rising loading screen and Slurp Legends Trailer, it was at Slurpy Swamp where the Sludges and later the Slurp Legends were created by Chaos Agent. and Kevolution Energy.In the Chaos Rising Loading Screen, Steamy Stacks was among the locations kept under watch by SHADOW. 
*Chaos Agent watches and masterminds everything from his secret lair on the goings-on between A.L.T.E.R./SHADOW and E.G.O./GHOST.
**He is interested in the REDACTED BunkerIn the Chaos Rising Loading Screen, **REDACTED** was among the locations kept under watch by SHADOW..
**Chaos Agent also experiments with Sludges, and builds an army to hunt down the E.G.O. team across Apollo.
The E.G.O. team from GHOST and the A.L.T.E.R. team from SHADOW began entering into conflicts which triggered infighting among Midas' crew. A.L.T.E.R. agents started to oppose the members of E.G.O. and deliberately chased them down, with Rippley being one of their main targets.
Later in the season, Midas selects Eye Land as the new grounds for the main base of GHOST, likely aware of the Zero Point stationed underneath it. Simultaneously, construction on five SHADOW Safe Houses around the island begins.
===Chapter 2: Season 2===
Midas founded The Agency, his employment organization for spies from both the factions of GHOST and SHADOW. The organization has its headquarters of the same name built on Eye Land. Conflicts between SHADOW and GHOST escalate, and grow into an all-out Spy War.
* Several spy bases were in operation across Apollo at this time: The Agency, The Grotto, The Shark, The Rig, and The Yacht. Besides the safehouses, however, there were no major compounds with public allegiance to SHADOW.
With The Agency now built, and tension arisen between the two, the war between GHOST and SHADOW begins in full.
While Meowscles controlled The Yacht for GHOST, there were three members of Midas' crew who had not yet chosen their allegiance and remained neutral at the beginning: Brutus, TNTina and Skye.
However, throughout the season, the balance of power between GHOST and SHADOW changed enormously:
*Brutus was the first operative to choose SHADOW, and it became their Headquarters. He remained the only SHADOW operative of Midas' Crew to maintain full control of his spy base.
*TNTina joined SHADOW and was primarily responsible for the ownership and destruction of The Rig, spilling oil into the ocean.
*Unexpectedly, Meowscles decided to betray GHOST for SHADOW, causing GHOST to send in Contract Giller and Deadpool to reclaim The Yacht for them. Meowscles, now a SHADOW operative, was then sent to the Box Factory.
**Deadpool was granted authority for GHOST over The Yacht in Meowscles' absence.
*Skye was the last member of Midas' main crew to choose a side, ultimately deciding to stick with GHOST. The Shark was eventually transformed into a prison HQ for GHOST. Some time before or after The Flood, she went her own way.
During the war, Midas gradually worked on a Doomsday Device with his daughter Jules made to break free from The Storm. This Device was located in his room, directly underneath The Agency, and possibly right above The Zero Point. 
Midas' room housed several things that hinted at his involvement behind the scenes:
**A journal could be found in his room containing a drawing of Oro's scepter, as well as a sketched symbol representing the Storm.
**A suit similar to that of Tempest's was also spotted in the room, its purpose likely being to defy the Storm, and either giving Midas control over it, or immunity to its effects.
***This suit, that would later become Cyclo, could have also been found at The Rig.
Near the end of the season, Renegade Shadow storms The Agency for SHADOW’s conquest. Countdowns for the activation of Midas' Device began appearing in the Agency and in Midas' own room.
===The Device===
The Device was activated on June 15, 2020. Upon its initiation, Midas' voice and several other Henchmen voices could've been heard as it executed its functions to try and push The Storm back, destroying much of The Agency.
*When The Looper was temporarily brought out of the loop, files concerning Midas, Jules and another agent Lynx were spotted in Agent Jones' office, meaning that IO had long since been investigating him and his associates.
The Device's plan ultimately failed, and the Storm attacked The Device in retaliation, and turned into a giant Wall of Water. 
After the event, Midas publicly reappears aligned with SHADOW, and controls what's left of The Agency for the now opposing faction - though he remains the de facto leader of GHOST.
===Chapter 2: Season 3===
The giant Wall of Water created by The Storm collapsed, flooding the entire Island. The headquarters of SHADOW are now The Authority, a larger version of The Agency re-constructed by Jules, and implemented a large anti-flood wall that surrounds the compound. Midas was attacked by a Loot Shark.
*Due to the flooding of the island, The Grotto & The Rig are no longer fit for use as a bases for SHADOW and are therefore abandoned. All former SHADOW bases and safehouses, save for The Authority, have also become defunct.

SHADOW continues the war against GHOST, who built The Fortilla as their new headquarters. GHOST's operatives, such as Ocean, refused to give up the fight against SHADOW, and tried to make a comeback after they lost The Agency, but the war is overall less aggressive.

Help him track down enemy agents and you'll be handsomely rewarded." -Sleuth's bio in Chapter 2: Season 5's Character Collection Book. Sleuth is ultimately unsuccessful. 
Marigold, a member of Midas' crew, arrives on the island, and just like Midas, she is cursed with the Golden Touch. In her quests, she mentions that someone was spending Midas' gold, and recruited the services of The Looper for revenge.

***A covert operative engages in clandestine operations for a government or organization, with both the operation and the sponsor's identity concealed. They conduct secret missions such as sabotage, reconnaissance, and direct action, often in hostile or sensitive environments. Their goal is to achieve strategic objectives while maintaining plausible deniability. They are highly trained and part of special operations or intelligence units.

Their work includes intelligence gathering and potentially recruiting other agents, often under diplomatic cover or without any official cover. Trained in espionage and affiliated with intelligence agencies, their objective is to obtain and transmit information without detection.
***A spy collects and reports information on the activities, movements, plans, or strategies of an enemy or competitor. They infiltrate organizations or governments to gather intelligence through surveillance and other methods. Spies can be professionals or recruited individuals, possibly without formal training or official backing, and they operate at great personal risk to deliver secret information.
