Drawn to the team by the reputation of it's star receiver, Shade had always followed in the footsteps of Dusk. And so it proved after the exile, as he dissapeared into the shadows as Dusk walked away. When Dusk returned, Shade was still not to be found; Reeset looked wherever he could, but came up with nothing.
When the date for leaving drew close, Shade re-appeared, from nowhere. He wouldn't say where he'd been, but he had clearly changed, no longer the young prospect, now cold and aloof, a shadow forever over him. His team-mates could come up with nothing more suitable than Shade.
