Shadow_Nevermore portrays an info-broker from London who came to Grimm with the goal to rewrite his story.
In season one of Grimm SMP, Shadow appeared at Grimm from orientation. He has black hair and has heterochromia: one brown eye and one blue. He wears a suit with raven wings sewed to the back.
Shadow grew up in an old Victorian era English town, but with an element of steam punk and technological advancements (think bio shock). He was an orphan who had to grow up on the streets, running around, collecting other orphans to make his own little gang of thieves and info brokers. He learned how the world works from the inside out, and is quite wise beyond his age thanks to having to grow up, taking the leader roll and taking responsibility. He is a very aloof character, acting charming, happy go lucky, but he is far more calculating and cold then he lets people see; thanks to all that, he makes a great mentor.
Shadow's years on the streets have given him great life experiences and running his own information business let him to learn a lot of things about a lot of people. He learned the underworld of politics, to how machines are operated and made, all information was worth something in the world, so he collected as much as he could. Through the years he grew more inquisitive, he got a better eye for detail and secrets, learning how to do figure things out with out knowing the full story. And in the end, he was running his organization in the cities underworld.
Upon arriving to Grimm Academy, he first surveyed the land, learning what he can about everything, started talking and becoming friendly with the new students and help to start organizing for the first quest, however got side tracked and wasn't fully able to help complete it. He spent a lot of the early times just studying and gathering resources, keeping an ear to the ground and focusing on any new information he could get. When the new students began to flood in, he was beginning to try to question the reality of Grimm and wanting to seek out Wren to try to mend things, as Shadow had the theory that because Lark was not supposed to be sole the headmaster, Grimm was falling out of disarray; and the only way to mend it was to bring Wren into the picture.
Around that time magic got introduced, and thanks to Shadows ability of understanding Ravens, he had heard a lot about magic from different worlds; also being a very quick study, he started hyper fixating on magic, becoming more and more attuned with it and quickly rising to one of the more powerful mages around. He spent time traveling the lands outside the school grounds, going to crypts and ancient cities, and learning all the type of magic he could get his hand on, growing stronger and stronger, even able to obtain the Ancient Codex, revealing to him more about this worlds magic.
Then he got his first letter from Wren, asking for an audience, however Shadow needed to find two people he trusted, and for that he chose Blythe and Asta. Working together they found Wren and slowly began working on a way to release her from the tower she had been imprisoned in.
They then found out that Lari, also known as Pop, originally came from another story and taken away by Lark. With the help of Blythe and Asta, they where able to help Pop regain their memories, making them rewrite the binding curse that held Wren to free her. From then on Wren was free, and Shadow, Blythe and Asta were all working towards trying to put them in their proper place as co-headmaster.
Between that time, there where many small events. Shadow participated in as many as he could, helping to gain points for the Mentor dorm, however due to his ability to run on very little sleep, he had been pushing himself too far and then ended up sleeping for almost a week. By the time he had woken up, a lot had happened, but nothing Shadow was far to concerned about. When the finale came around, Shadow spent his time helping to collect the two stories, the one to Wren and the one to Lark; but much to Shadow's annoyance, they where all sent back in time, halting Shadows goal even more.
Shadow's most trusted friend, they both seem to notice that something isn't right about Grimm and they both had a mistrust to Lark; and Blyth was Shadows greatest ally to help free Wren.
Asta was another friend of Shadow's, however, one he didn't really trust. He found her talking and slipping up, and noticed that she never really was honest about her self; despite that, Shadow didn't care too much as long as Asta didn't mess up his goal.
Shadow has a like, dislike relationship with Oliver, there are many things he likes about him, but his constant disbelief that Shadow was telling the truth about himself, his reckless approach to magic and his alliance to Lark, made Shadow not fully trust or fully like Oliver; however Shadow kept up a friendly and kind relation to Olvier
Shadow didn't really feel strongly towards Mikos in any regard, he knew that Mikos was struggling with their past, but didn't really care, he had a friendly relation with Mikos. However, after finding out that Mikos was working for Lark, he kept his distances while still keeping him closely around.
Shadow and Ciri where friends without any real friendship, they both didn't mind the other persons company, but there was a sense that neither really trusted the other, and both where just keeping each other around for either the other persons gain, or for future use. They both where still quite friendly and again could be seen as friends at time
Shadow had a soft spot for Kat, reminding him of the orphans he once used to help. He would help and guide Kat when he could and help him out when he needed, however Kat never truly servered to help Shadow towards his goal, so he never truly gave Kat the time of day.
Shadow didn't really care for Leo, he didn't dislike him or like him, he was just around at times, however he would tease him on the matter of Asta a few times.
A fun fishing buddy and part of the Oyster Club, however Shadow never truly spend a lot of time with Rice and mostly saw him as a chill guy.
Shadow barely had any time with Rei and never really formed and opinion on Rei
Shadow pittied Knox as most of the time they just seemed confused, but saw that for the most time they where just happy with doing what they did, so he mostly didn't pay them any mind
Shadow didn't truly trust Lark at all, but just kept up appearances and kept being a good student to hopefully not go to noticed by Lark
Shadow's golden ticket out of here and to his true goal, plus he enjoyed Wren's company and presence
