## Paile "The Shadow Master" Ghose

The Shadow Master as he appears in SATCOK.

### Aliases

Shadowdwelling Spirit, Surprise From the Shadows, Spooky Shadow Soul

### Gender

Male

**The Shadow Master** is the secret final boss of Snow and the Clash of Kings. He can be encountered only after you've recruited all other Shadowdwellers. He wears a crown on his head, but he claims he's not a king.

## History/Lore

The Shadow Master had a rough life. He says his parents wouldn't let him do anything fun and never taught him right from wrong. This was what turned him evil. He had killed a girl named "Clawdia" and was sent to prison, where he lived the remainder of his life. Once he died, he came back for a second round of killing almost immediately. However, he did so in an alternate reality where there was no punishment. There, he found a mysterious substance called Shadolium. He put small amounts of Shadolium into his injectors and started a craze over turning the world's inhabitants into mindless zombies. Once he was finished, he created Shadow Stronghold and had his minions spread across the universe.

## Relationships

### Shadow Blueface

Shadow Blueface is looking to get revenge on the Shadow Master, claiming he needs to "right his wrongs". The Shadow Master begs to differ.

### Shadow Nebula

The Shadow Master created Shadow Nebula first. He was there to see all the others come into being. He now has been tasked to survey Planet Flittle-636 and determine how difficult it'll be to conquer it.

### Shadow Void

The Shadow Master claims his tails were the main change to Shadow Void's appearance because that's where he injected him with Shadolium.

### Shadow RaptoX

Shadow RaptoX is a little disobedient at times, but he's "manageable to work with". Sometimes, he does his own thing rather than help the Shadow Master.

### Shadow Vessel

He gets fed up with Shadow Vessel claiming his roles in creating Shadowdweller-kind. However, he keeps his true feelings bottled up.

### Shadow Tipper and Tyke

These two have been protected by the Shadow Master more than most other Shadowdwellers. In fact, he's set a law in place that no one can kill the duo unless they were attacked by the duo first. Strange law, wouldn't you agree?

### Shadow Billy

Shadow Billy "doesn't belong here", the Shadow Master says, "but we'll accept him, regardless." He doesn't seem to mind Shadow Billy's presence despite the fact that he didn't create the Shadowdweller.

### Shadow Umbra

The Shadow Master is at a loss for what he should do. He says he can't give him Shadolium, he can't kill him, and he can't figure out anything about Shadow Umbra's past.

### Shadow Chomper

He's trying to help Shadow Chomper climb up on the hierarchy. So far, it's going good.

### Shadow FrostByte

Shadow FrostByte is acting like a butler to the Shadow Master, doing exactly as the Shadow Master wants, so as not to have him do it himself. He seems to be mistaken in his kindness.

### Shadow Purper

Shadow Purper claims that the Shadow Master is always keeping his dance parties under regulations. He tries to have good parties, regardless.

### Shadow Ghastly

Shadow Ghastly is trying to convince the Shadow Master not to be so harsh on outsiders. He says his will "cannot be changed".

### Shadow Something and Shadow Norm Al

The two don't like the Shadow Master, but do his bidding because they have no other choice.

### Shadow Orey-O

Shadow Orey-O has a lot of training ahead of him if he wants to be one of the Shadow Master's greatest lackeys. We all have to start somewhere, after all.

### Shadow Fishbreath, Shadow Fishbubble, and Shadow Princebubble

These guys help the Shadow Master and his minions in conquering other worlds by assisting minions in battle. The Shadow Master himself keeps Shadow Fishbubbles and Shadow Princebubbles at his disposal.

### Shadow Blair

Strangely, Shadow Blair isn't controlled by the Shadow Master. The same holds true with all other Shadow Guardians.

### Shadow Stellar

While he doesn't serve the Shadow Master, he at least knows who he is. He's not planning on joining the forces anytime soon.

### Shadow Kranky

Shadow Kranky isn't under the control of the Shadow Master, surprisingly. He instead works with his three sons to devise plans to dominate the world. So far, they haven't had any thoughts.

### Shadow Donut Dude

While he doesn't work for the Shadow Master, he knows good and well who he is. He's been said to regularly travel to the Shadow Stronghold just to see the Shadow Master.

### Shadow DJ Electro

Shadow DJ Electro is seen as a social reject. However, the Shadow Master thinks he's actually not that bad. At least he hasn't turned against Shadowdweller-kind... yet.
