Shadow Stalker

Shadow Stalkers are able to manipulate and control shadows. They stalk through the night, unseen assassins. Just the mere whisper of their presence strikes fear into those whom have done wrong, have something to hide, or run from. They lurk in nightmares and dwell in the depths of darkness. If you ever catch a glimpse of a Shadow Stalker, they're likely to be the last thing you'll ever see before they slip their shadowy blades into your jugular.
