**Shane Dawson** was invited by Joey Graceffa to attend a dinner party hosted at his Estate in the 1920s and given the role of *The Renegade*. Shane was secretly a member of the Society Against Evil and was tasked with banishing The Evil that inhabited the Estate. However, before Shane could carry out his mission, he was poisoned by The Evil and perished after the other YouTubers were unable to create an antidote in time. Shane left a note behind that instructed the remaining guests on how to perform the Binding Ritual and defeat The Evil.

His soul was later collected by the Collector and brought to her Museum of the Dead. The Collector placed his spirit in the Jar of Souls to be feasted on later. Shane was eventually freed by Joey after his infiltration into the museum.
