Within darkness, there is light. Within light, there is darkness. None can exist without each other. Hildred is a powerful Shadowkind and loyal guardian of the Hastur family within the Hollow Lands. As a Shadow Person, Hildred had no name nor purpose in life until it came across the Grey Warlock, Gregori Hastur, during the rise of Haïta. It now serves as a shadowy guardian angel for the Hastur family and the Grey Order. Whenever danger comes to its people, the Grey Order, or any family member of Hastur, Hildred will see to it that justice will be met with blood. For its loyalty amd servitude, Hildred is now garbed in an ornate yellow cloak to symbolize its deed in keeping its new home safe from any potential threat.
The enigmatic Shadow People has been a reclusive resident of the Hollow Lands for over a millennia and yet nobody knows who they are and how they were originated, obscure as the clouds that reign above. The Shadow People have no specific name to call themselves and tend to mimic any language they hear. They’ve always stayed among the line of neutrality without a sense of purpose, however if one is influenced by any event, not only they find a sense of tenacity, they earn true sentience. Those with those kind of special traits are known as Shadow-kin, or Shadowkind.
Shadow-kin separate from the grey neutrality into the black or white area of morality. Any Shadow Person who are harmed and threatened by an enemy would permanently become aggressive towards anyone who they deem a possible threat. Sometimes those within the black morality will trek out and release their blind animosity toward pretty much anybody, becoming the ravaging animals they yearned to avoid. A Shadowkind that’s within the white area of morality is proven to be extremely rare within the Hollow Lands, considering any possible threat that could lash out and instantly scar the ever so fragile Shadow People. However, one Shadowkind has received the gift of sentience and the kindness it has never obtained. The founder of the Grey Order and one of the two leaders of Haïta, Gregori Hastur, has traveled back home after a trip from Lothep and discovered something unusual. As he walked to his study room, he noticed his shadow moving with the will of its own. The Shadow Person emerged from his shadow and cowered in the dark corner as the Grey Warlock looks over the mysterious creature. The enigmatic nature of these fascinating entities has always been one of Gregori’s interests in studying as capturing one has always been an intensively difficult task, but never had he thought of one following him.
Without trying to make the creature feel threatened, he lay down his hand down to it as a sign of peace and acceptance. The Shadow Person was hesitant, but it decided to trust the man and grew attached to the Hastur family over the years. The more the creature stuck around, the more its mind grew, officially becoming a Shadowkind with a name, Hildred.
Hildred learned much from the teachings of its new family and its bond with them grew twice as strong. It no longer mimics languages, but now learns to speak at will. Hildred’s intelligence grew significantly as it learns how to solve difficult puzzles. It also became a formidable spy for the Hasturs as it can hide within other people’s shadows and eavesdrop to their devious exchanges.
Although despite being granted true sentience, it doesn’t like to be around socially. In nature, Shadow People and Shadow-kin are shy and withdrawn, rarely revealing themselves to the public. However, all of it changed when Gregori’s wife, Amoline the Shadow Witch, is going to labor and is being hunted by foreign assassins. Desire to keep her safe, Gregori ordered Hildred to seek out and eliminate any outsider within the blackened walls of Haïta.
The day turned to dusk as security tightened, none of these assassins were found despite their best efforts. All was quiet until midnight struck.
Believing that the foreigners retreated, some of the Haïtan Blackwatch were relieved from duty for the night, leaving the Hastur Keep an open window of opportunity for these assassins to strike. Hildred accompanied Gregori in meeting the Grey Order within the Ashen Halls to discuss on the recent update on finding the perpetrators. Then a scream was heard.
Gregori ran out the chamber and witnessed a bloodshed upon his people as the assassins attempt to reach for defenseless Amoline. Some of his best Blackwatch has been slain by these elusive murderers and wish to slay his wife and heir. As a desperate attempt, Gregori called upon Hildred to deal with the intruders as he will try to run for Amoline’s resting chamber before they do.
Without a word, Hildred sprung out of Gregori’s shadow and submerge into one of the assassin’s shadow from a great height. They tried to slay the being, but was too quick to land their curved, ornate knives into its body. With each vicious swipe of its claws, their bodies fall limp onto the stone roadway with blood painted on its elongated fingers.
Thinking that its master would finish off the remaining intruders, it felt an urgent calling for its help. Hildred sank into its own pool of darkness and reappeared from beneath a wounded Gregori. A large circle of shadow envelop the feet of the foreigners and blackened their eyes. Without hesitation, Gregori unleashed his dark powers and struck down the remaining assailants.
With the success of purging the marauding cutthroats from their city, Amoline has finally given an
From that day forward, Hildred has become a personal guard, assassin, spy, and hero for the Haïtan locals. Always on the lookout for many possible threats to its new home and family, and would never hesitate to bring its enemies to justice.

Quotes:
Champion Select:
Even Light can cast a shadow.
Upon Starting a Game:
There will always be judgement. Protection is what I am. It is my sole purpose. From the darkness, I emerge. The veil is strong, none will expect me.
Attacking:
For Hastur. As they run, their shadow grows. Your shadow will betray you. Your fate has been decided. None can outrun me. You know what I’m capable of. Face me and accept your fate. Fear the Shepherd. Yellow will be the last color you’ll see. There’s no saving you. Allow me to guide you to your demise. I will not shy away. The guilty will not go unpunished. I will protect, and I will slay. Make one scratch, and you’re dead. You wish to fight? Your funeral. Don’t spill blood on my robe. I lurk, and I strike. May darkness envelop you. No matter who I face, I will fight in the shade.
Movement:
The sun is setting. Each branch, each stone, each blade of grass offer shade. For the Grey Order. A Shepherd’s work is never done. Only I can look good in yellow. Must not fail Hastur. No rest for the wicked. No shadow is born evil. They mistake darkness for pure malevolence. Sometimes the light can lie. Who requires my guidance? No reason to fear the dark. The darkness is as soothing as the cool shade. Both Light and Darkness blinds, but also comfort. I was born and molded in darkness. Many centuries have passed. Long have I felt emotions. I guide. I protect. I will not forget what Hastur taught me. Shelter the shadeless.
