==History==
===Early Life===
Yhaso was born to a Psyian father and Fulgur mother. His father was originally of Balseraph, but after it's destruction, he moved to Amestris. Little is known of these two, other than at some point before Yhaso's birth, his father was executed by Imperial officers, and sometime after he was three, his mother was slaughtered by bandits.
Yhaso learned quickly to live amongst the shadows, on the corner of streets, stealing food and supplies, living in caves or holes, or even behind buildings. Much of his early life was spent fine tuning these skills of stealth, as did his travelling skills. He stayed in no place for too long. Indeed, Yhaso during his natural childhood travels spent time in each of the major cities (Locke, Izalith, Amestris, Sekifrost, Arthedain, Vitaverna, etc.) living in it's shadows.
===Name of Vengeance===
Yhaso was slowly able to educate himself in various studies. He built a small cabin somewhere beyond Arthedain, and spent time collecting volume and volumes of educational material. History, strategy, Yhaso was naturally intellectual, quickly learning to read and write on his own, no easy feat.
As he learned the fate of his people, the Psyians, Yhaso grew to hate the Empire more than ever. Now a young man, he burnt his cabin to the ground and continued his nomadic ways. At first he became an assassin for hire, using the money to support his cause against the Empire. By this point, of course, the name Yhaso ceased to be. Each of his employers was given no answer as to a name. Eventually, the Amaranthian underworld gave him the moniker 'Shadowthorn', because he 'lived as a shadow, stung like a thorn'.
These escapades also served a secondary purpose. Since all of these endeavors were outside the law, it usually put him at odds with the Empire. He would use these outings to secretly gather information to further his own agenda: finding and joining the Alliance.
Shadowthorn grew to be an even better information gatherer than assassin, which quickly became his primary trade (though he would do either without hesitation).
===Joining the Alliance===
Shadowthorn eventually gained knowledge that Pontmercy and Mikadel were Alliance locations. He travelled to Mikadel in hopes of finding refuge and becoming part of the movement, but it had already burned to dust. Quickly he travelled further on to Pontmercy, and having sought out Nikole Celesté and U'ma, was surprised to find he had also stumbled upon Tondier.
After explaining his story, he was admitted into the Alliance and tasked with his first mission: bringing back a prisoner from Imperial territory.
====Freeing Maddy====
Shadowthorn was given the objective of freeing Maddy from Nikolai Bitore, who had captured the Alliance member in hopes of gaining some sort of information. Shadowthorn was able to make his way to Izalith, and after a small confrontation, escape with Maddy in tow, back to Pontmercy.
This action cemented his status within the Alliance, and he was quickly accepted as a protege of Nikole's.
====Scouting Darkovia====
Tondier, however, had other plans. Priming his attack on the small Imperial town of Darkovia, Shadowthorn was given the objective of scouting it's every corner and cranny, to discover and all leads of attack. This operation was secret to the point that even his own ally, Alucard, was unaware, even though Alucard was tasked with a similar objective. As Alucard was caught and fled, Shadow was able to hide in and around the town for not hours, but days, discovered the small town's plan of escape, their stargate into the town, as well as their underground base which they planned to hide in.
A few days later the attack went on to massive success using Shadow's information. The raiding party snuck into Darkovia using the stargate, and quickly made their way into the secret location underneath the town. This gave them the opportunity to capture Alexandria and bring her as a prisoner back to Elysium.
====Capturing Bitore====
Following Alexandria's imprisonment, Shadowthorn took the time to take care of some personal matters. During this absence, Alexandria was freed from Elysium by a small attack force led by Nikolai Bitore and Grand Inquisitor Joe Fawkes. Enraged by Nikolai's consistent annoyances, Shadowthorn was tasked by Tondier to scout Izalith in secrecy with the intent of capturing Bitore once and for all.
After reaching Izalith and scouting the situation, the operation was interrupted by the unexpected appearance of Lydia. She had unexpectedly drawn the attention of Lor Nito's Operatives, and thus Shadowthorn called in Tondier for backup. The two used their stealth skill to stay out of sight. Unexpectly, Lydia was captured by the Imperial forces, which gave the two the distraction they needed to capture Nikolai Bitore in return, and then escape.
This led to Shadow's first confrontation with the Lor of Izalith, which led in a chase and escape by the Alliance member.
====Captured!====
Shadow continued his scouting of Izalith, seeing it as an easy place to infiltrate and eavesdrop on potential information against the Empire. He did this for quite some time without ever being caught, until after a routine escape, he unexpectedly ran into the Lor himself.
This led to their second confrontation, and a much longer chase between the two, however this time, the Lor's ability to turn invisible would get the better of Shadow, and he was captured by him.
Many attempts were made to interrogate the agent of shadow, but due to his stubborness, he refused to give any information on the Alliance, and provided several misleads to the Lor in hopes of drawing mistrust between him and his allies.
====Breakout====
Some time later, Tondier himself came to break out the agent. A large battle was fought between the two Alliance members and their huge opposition, including Lor Nito, Joseph Fawkes, and Lor vonCreeper. The two successfully escaped back to Elysium, whereupon Shadow learned grave news: Nikole Celesté had perished.
