“A constant presence in the wrath’s mind, the Shadow is equal parts tempter and trickster, destroyer and seducer. It seeks to drag the wraith down to Oblivion in a self-destructive frenzy, at the same time working toward the destruction of all the wraith holds dear as well. Simultaneously, the Shadow is the wraith’s evil half, an almost distinctly separate personality, and it can come to the fore when darker emotions seize the wraith.”
