## Personality

Shadow is a brooding loner, to put it bluntly. Despite his dark side of life, he usually likes to prove that he's the best altohugh he is the ultimate life form and he can live up to 999 years. He is rarely seen with others for an extended period of time and usually distances himself from essentially everyone. He enjoys working for G.U.N. and being leader of his own team called Team Dark, but he's not keen on working at the Krusty Vector. He is usually soft-spoken, but he always knows exactly what to say in combat. However, Shadow never bluffs. If he makes either a threat or an offer, he has every intention of carrying it out.
