Overview

Chaotic Century

Before the start of the series, a group of Helic scientist found Shadow in a capsule. The scientist were attacked by a Guylos regiment, let by Prozen. However, rather than hand over the Organoid, Leon (the Wind colony's priest, then a Republican officer), awakens Shadow and releases him. The Guylos forces attempt to give chase, but are stopped by the actions of Dan Flyheight. However, in the end, Shadow was eventually captured by Guylos forces. While no one was able to tame him, Prozen allows Raven (who had been recruited by Prozen personally) to try and tame him. To the surprise of everyone, Raven is able to tame the Organoid. After that, Shadow became the Raven's Organoid.

Shadow's first appearance in series is in episode 12, where it and Raven are shown destroying Helic Guysak's. After finding this out, Van tries to battle Raven in his Shield Liger, but is defeated even without Raven utilising Shadow. Shadow is also employed to fight against Irvine, and enables Raven to quickly defeat the mercenary, even after his Zaber Fang was damaged by a special weapon Irvine had equipped to his Command Wolf. Later, Van tries again, but is once again defeated by Raven's Zaber Fang. Since then, Shadow is shown to constantly travel around with Raven, and is responsible for saving Raven after the Zaber Fang was destroyed.

With the lost of the Zaber Fang, Raven is given a new Zoid, the Geno Saurer. When the Geno Saurer is finally destroyed in episode 33, Shadow is once again responsible for saving Raven.

Guardian Force

Two years later, Shadow and Raven reappear in episode 8, this time destroying military bases at random (although Raven does not initially travel with Shadow, rather the Organoid simply follows him, as Raven is left mentally scarred after his last battle with Van). After an encounter with Van Flyheight, Raven is able to regain his memory, and a new Geno Saurer. While this Geno Saurer is able to defeat Van Shadow takes the Geno Saurer away, and fuses with it (it is also implied that Ambient fused with it as well). After a period of evolution, the Geno Breaker is created. With this new Zoid, Raven is once again nigh unstoppable. However, due to the power of this Zoid, Shadow could only remain fused with the Geno Breaker for a set amount of time (three minutes). At one point, upon reaching this limit, Shadow collapses, and is only healed by Zoid Magnite, fed to it by Reese.

Later on, during a battle between Raven and Van, the Death Stinger fires its Charged Particle Cannon at the military base the two are fighting at, taking out one of the Geno Breakers claws, and killing Shadow. While Raven mourns his death, Prozen (now the Dark Kaiser) is able to resurrect the Organoid. However, Shadow is reverted to his old feral self, and attacks Raven (as well as Specula). However, once again, Raven is able to gain the Organoid's trust. In the final battle, Shadow helps with the destruction of the Death Saurer.

After the battle, Shadow leaves with Reese, Raven and Specula.

Personality

Shadow is shown to be feral and dangerous; attacking anyone he sees as a threat. Shadow is also seen physically destroying Zoids personally (for instance, by flying through them). Shadow is not shown to care about anyone other then Raven.

Abilities

Shadow fused with a Zoid Core.

Like most other Organoids, Shadow has the ability of flight, and the ability to fuse with Zoid cores. Shadow is seen to be able to stay fused with Zoids longer than other Organoids, as mentioned by Reese during early test with the Geno Breaker.

One interesting thing about Shadow is that instead of boosters in his legs (as other Organoids have), he relies on a pair of wings to fly (though he is rarely seen flapping them).

Relationships

Shadow and Raven.

Like other characters, Shadow has his own unique relationships;

Raven: At first, Raven only see's Shadow as a weapon of destruction, and doesn't care for the Organoid at all. However, Shadow is shown to be loyal to Raven, and will (and has) risked his life to protect Raven. Later on, Raven finally treats the Organoid as a friend.

Reese: While Shadow is shown at first to dislike Reese (as he does with everyone else), he appears to be friendly to her later on in the series.

Zeke: As Raven is a rival to Van, Shadow is a rival to Zeke. The two are shown to be complete opposites of one another (Zeke being friendly and cheerful, with Shadow being feral and dangerous), though they don't actually interact much.

Specula: Much like Reese, Shadow is shown to dislike, and distrust, Specula. The two do fight at one point, with Shadow coming out as the winner. However, the two do appear to become friendly to one another at the end of the series.

Ambient: The two are shown to have a dislike of one another, though they are rarely in contact.
