Fighting Styles: Stays backline. His specialty is not hand-to-hand or any sort of run-and-gun. Can disengage oncoming offensive spells with a thrust of his palm. Can disable opponents passively. More of a compliment to any offensive team, not the forefront of it.

Powers: Negations. The art of negating, countering, dissipating magic. In layman's terms, Negation is the difference between throwing water on a fire to stifle it, and removing all the oxygen in the air from the immediate area. It's more than just curses and countercurses -- it's the stark anti-thesis to the paranormal, to magic.

Negations is an unforgiving study.

Once you get into Negations, there's no turning back. It starts with unlearning everything about magic, and it ends with the subject's senses completely rearranged. To be successful Negator, you have to be quick - almost instantaneous - with your understanding of the forces around you. Sight through eyes is limiting. Makes you dependent on what is there, not what isn't there. For someone to be truly skilled in Negations, it's not entirely uncommon to undergo an operation removing the eyes completely.

This process forces the Negator to rely on heightened sound and magic senses, making them much more effective on the field. It's considered the 'final step' into becoming a true expert. In the United States magical community, someone with no eyes is respected and feared more often than the most powerful mage.

This ability allows him primarily to identify magical signatures in the air; it allows him to re-trace steps in a magical battle.

Weaknesses: Despite the gift of Negation, Shad is still hindered in his daily life from being blind. He can "see" shapes and sense body heat signatures, but things like colors and things without texture are lost to him. Relies sometimes on his guide dog Tiberius "Ti" for menial tasks.

Personality: During his time interning with the Senate, Shad made a reputation for himself as disciplined and practical, with a voracious appetite for work. If campaign sticker sheets needed to be organized, he would do it. If calls needed to be made, he would do it. There was a singularity of focus to the young man that caught the attention of a few Capitol Hill particulars, with the underworld in mind.

Post-training, Shad has retained the same personality traits. He is prone to private moments of misery, but his determination to do good against all odds manages to prevail.

Bio: Born in Virginia but raised in the DC area, Shad's always had a shrewd understanding of politics both on Capitol Hill, and underneath it. He was initially interested in government, interning for a well-known Senator's campaign office, when he encountered the world of the paranormal.

Noting that he held the necessary personality traits for the craft, the Senator privately approached Shad discussing the opportunity. By the time Shad realized what he was fully getting into, he realized his vision was already starting to fade.

However many years later, Shad has lost all sight in his eyes. He is a critical figure in the Untied States underworld, a backpocket secret. Currently receiving gentle pressure from governmental higher-ups to undergo the all-too-important procedure of complete eye removal. Despite Shad's skill in Negation, it is a final step he is wary to take.
