Backstory:
Unlike many of his people, Deepshadow grew up in the realm of the Upholder of shadow, having been taken by followers of the upholder at birth, as it was foretold that he would have a strong connection with the element of shadow.
Until his majority, Deepshadow had a name; however, like all servants of the Upholder of shadow, Deepshadow's first sacrifice to show his fealty was to give his name to the Upholder, showing that he only existed to serve the Upholder and his realm.
Deepshadow was selected to be a representative of his realm, along with a select group of agents of the Upholder, and sent into the mortal realm to act as an agent of the Upholder's will, working to preserve the balance and promote the will of the Upholder.
So Deepshadow has come to this place he has never known and seeks to bring glory to the Upholder while protecting those who can't protect themselves.
