**The Shadow**, also known as **Goblivious**, is a mysterious being who lives in and controls the Empty, a place of nothingness predating all of creation. He is the oldest being to exist, even older than God himself, older than all of the pre-existentials. He is also the father of Cherry Voss, and Keiko Voss.

When Castiel went to the Empty after his death at the hands of Lucifer, the young seraph woke up as did Goblivious. Though the Pre-existential tried to make Castiel fall back asleep, Joshua arrived and the two fought until Joshua ultimately convinced him to resurrect Castiel so he may return to his sleep, with Goblivious agreeing.

## Appearance

While the Shadow possesses a true form, it is unknown what it looks like as it instills insanity in demons and angels. He can manipulate the Empty to alter his appearance. The Shadow appears to prefer to take on forms that will best taunt its opponents or best fit the situation, initially choosing to appear to Castiel as a duplicate of Castiel himself and then later taking on the form of the demon Meg due to Castiel seeking the demon, Ruby. The Shadow later uses Meg's form again in its attempt to speak with Billie, telling Sam that it's borrowing its form "because really, I'm empty." After being caught in Jack's explosion and reforming, the Shadow immediately takes on Meg's form once again.

## Personality

The Shadow is highly mysterious, aloof and detached entity, spending eternity just sleeping in the Empty and extremely rarely leaving his domain until he finds a reason to do so. Originally, The Shadow was shown to utilize highly cynical sarcasm when meeting individuals, as shown with his meeting with Castiel. It showed frustration at its failures to break his spirit in an attempt to get him to give up on wanting to live again to get him to return to his slumber.

When this did not work, it attacked him out of frustration and called him worthless, which proved unsuccessful. The Shadow was very angry at Castiel's defiant attitude, however, Joshua arrived and fought him, but he finally complied in annoyance, to resurrect Castiel to be able to return to its slumber. This shows that the Shadow is somewhat impatient.

## Powers and Abilities

> I'm the only one that has any pull here. Not Heaven, not Hell, not G-O-D himself.

> The Shadow.

Being the supreme ruler of the Empty, the Shadow possesses immeasurable supernatural power, allowing it to do almost anything it wishes within its own realm. The Shadow has also shown to be extremely powerful outside of the Empty, easily overpowering angels after invading Heaven, killing Reapers after raiding Death's Library, and eliminating Billie herself without the aid of anything. While the Shadow overall power isn't as known as God or the Darkness, his huge size -- which encompasses everything beyond the Omniverse that God created -- enables it to survive even those cosmic attacks that would threaten the existence of those two supreme beings, and even Death himself.

## Weaknesses

> Weaknesses? Are you kidding me... I have no weaknesses... besides my human form.
>
> The Shadow.

Despites its immense power, the Shadow does have some limits in what it's capable of doing. Although it is the ruler of the Empty, it has a few weaknesses as well. It is also described by Billie as not being as powerful as God or the Darkness. However, this is not confirmed.

### Human Form Weaknesses

* **Higher-Beings**: According to Billie, the Empty in his human form is not as powerful as God or the Darkness, however, like I said before, this is not confirmed. God himself has been blocking the Shadow from invading Earth, perhaps from time immemorial; the Shadow can only surpass that obstacle if it is summoned. The Shadow's deal with Castiel also acts as a loophole to this as once he is truly happy, it summons the Shadow to take him. The Shadow's claim that not even God had any sway over his domain seems to be false, as God was able to resurrect Castiel many times, and then did the same to Lilith. In addition, Billie, though overall inferior to the Shadow in total strength, was able to bring Jack from the Empty twice; while the first time obviously counted with the Shadow's consent, as they formed an axis against Chuck, the second time clearly went against the Shadow's desire to hold and hurt Jack. The Shadow later admits that its claim that not even God had power in the Empty was "sweet little lies." In addition, its powers are no longer limited outside of the Empty as it can now go to Earth instead of being forced to wait until he's summoned directly though it appears to be able to visit Heaven.
* **Magic**: There are warding's that can stop the Shadow from entering places where the symbols are put up.

## Trivia

* The Shadow claimed that its true form induces complete insanity, even to angels.
* Death indicates that the Shadow may be the embodiment of the Empty itself.
