Shen, Demons, Undead, & The Fairy Realms

A demon,” Shen remarked. “You must have sailed into its path.”
The fisherman nodded grimly. Spirits of all kinds were known to mingle with the physical world, especially in Ionia, where the barrier between realms was thin and passable. The ethereal and material planes were in constant contact, sliding peacefully past one another like oil atop water.
As the Eye of Twilight, it was Shen’s duty to walk between the worlds, ensuring neither side overwhelmed the other. To humans, he was a ghost, vanishing in the space between breaths to reappear many miles away. To spirits, he was a human, flesh and bone who ought never to venture into ethereal realms.
Shen is a kind of Demon Hunter, and they are common in Ionia. The "movement" of the planes is VERY similar to Dungeons & Dragons Eberron by description. Sometimes 2 planes overlap and are "coterminous". In Eberron this can have many effects for while it lasts. In many places it is only temporary, but in other places it is a constant.
An enigma to the shadowy realm of the spirits, as well as the mortal territories of man, Shen belongs to neither. Within him exists an uneasy fusion of human soul and arcane power. He is seen by both sides as someone to be feared. He is immovable. He is constant. He answers to nothing but his purpose.
Although his birth within the most revered of Ionian clans marked him as destined to serve, it was his iron will that made Shen the chosen leader of a shadowed order. Wielding his spirit blade the symbol of his duty, as well his connection to the spirit realm - Shen roams both worlds, unerringly drawn to any place where one side threatens to overwhelm the other.
There are countless legends recounting Shen's battles across the realms. From his innumerable clashes with the Seven Demon Clan throughout Ionia's physical and ethereal planes to Shen's brutal scourging of the loathsome skin devourers from the Black Steppes of the Freljord, the truth is lost among the tales told in his wake.
One of the most fanciful stories recounted by Ionians is of the day Shen suddenly appeared in the central court of Noxus. Standing in the very heart of his enemy’s stronghold, onlookers watched in rapt horror as he appeared to fight a terrible battle against a threat they could not see. To the crowd, Shen seemed to flash in and out of existence, wounds blossoming all over his body from nowhere. Unknown to the Noxians, he singlehandedly defended their entire empire from an incursion by the spirit world.
As a true neutral guy he defends everyone...even from threats that can't be seen. Even Noxians. That makes me wonder if he KNOWS about Jericho Swain.
It also makes me wonder how "demons" relate to the things that come out of the void, and the things that come back from the dead, but also the things from the Fairy Realm. Could he be allies with Kassadin, Lucian, and Vayne? Or would he sometimes work against them? I wonder if in the future they could have interactions.
Enforcing that equilibrium was its own struggle. For the task, Shen carried two blades on his back. One was an Ionian steel saber that could cleave through a person in one blow. The other was a sword of pure arcane energy. It was used for dealing with spirits, and had been passed down through many generations of Shen's ancestors. He had slain countless demons, ghosts, wraiths, and sprites with it over the years
Near the end of Shen;s Story
A moment later, Shen reappeared at the site of the shipwreck. All around, smoldering pools of black ooze evaporated into the air, coupled with the lingering reek of terror.
Black ooze. Black ooze gets mentioned during the Harrowing Event last year, and in Nautilus' Lore. Is this "Ecto-/necro-plasm"
Also during this story, we got to see Shen's "True Neutral" position. This makes me wonder how Shen would view Tahm Kench and the lives he claims, or Aatrox and the sides he takes in warfare, but also Ahri. It also makes me wonder how he will react to the Return to Targon

That....seems like a BIG deal. Celestial Spirits come from SPAAAAACE! And I imagine something like Aurelion Sol** VERY WELL** could be like GOZER or the Stay Puft Marshmallow man to Shen. (Feel kind of in the mood with new Ghostbusters trailer out)
"Then, during the Third Reconciliation of the Last of the Meketrex Supplicants, they chose a new form for him, that of a giant Sloar! Many Shubs and Zulls knew what it was to be roasted in the depths of a Sloar that day, I can tell you!"
s lore says he is a spirit and Shens lore also mentions demons,so 
would also be considered a spirit.
was originally a nature spirit,so it would be interesting to see shens opinion about him(though i think he'd see maokai as the victim here for obvious reasons)
