Shadowblade is a elite assassin in the world of Warhammer-He is an assassin in the society of Dark Elves , considered the most brilliant Assassin ever to have lived. even though he's still a young Dark elf by standards (a mere 150 years old) he is still a legend amongst the Druchii, his exploits told as fireside tales to eager Dark Elf children. Most celebrated of all is is his single-handed massacre of the entire crew of a High Elf Hawkship, whom he murdered one by one over several days, each killed in a different fashion. The mere thought of shadowblade's murderous attempts is enought to keep all but the most stupid or brave Dark Elf from plotting against the Witch King.
