Shadow is regarded by others as a cold-blooded mercenary who would kill anyone if he was paid. He typically only shows kindness to his dog Interceptor. Shadow cares for Interceptor greatly and is often seen attending to him, and on other occasions feeds him by hand and expresses concern for his safety. In Thamasa, Shadow rescues the party from a burning house, though he claims it was only to retrieve Interceptor who was with them.
