Kieran, “The Shadow”

Kieran, or "The Shadow" as he insists on calling himself, is a biological creation. He was created by an organization outside of our known reality, who's only goal is to come into possession of the Drosum Brunda (the name of The Dragon Master's sword), and use it to find it's origins and then corrupt all sources of an energy called "ardent". Claiming it's all for a "better future". Kieran was created using DNA of Ryoto and previous wielders of the Drosum Brunda from centuries ago, and brought to life with a small piece of corrupted ardent that the organization had gotten their hands on and created from a small strand of ardent. When the corrupted ardent was infused inside him, he was immediately brought to life, went on a rampage throughout the compound he was kept in, and escaped to our world. With nothing but a pair of chainblades he stole while on his rampage, he thought he was free, but was unknowingly still in control of the organization.

The name Kieran was given to him in an encounter with a child, which he attempts to don from time to time but is forced to go by the title "The Shadow" by voices that whisper in his head. He eventually came to excel at using the chainblades he had stolen, and is forced to hunt The Dragon Master as long as he lives by the same whispers that control his thoughts. His power is given to him by the corrupted ardent put into his veins, he has the power of a sort of purple bioelectricity. He can also make himself an conductor in a storm, getting a bolt of electricity to blast him to supercharge him. He uses this supercharged state to either move incredibly fast, or turn into a large, hulking brute. He often chooses the ladder when in this state.
