About Shadow Kinkade

Shadow Kinkade was born to a normal Duskling family, living in the feywild, hunting, running, and feeling the pulse of the universe in everything. But he always felt like there was more to life than just the wilderness and hunting. When he came across an Eladrin tower, he was awed by its magnificence. But while trying to climb it and find its secrets, the tower shifted to another universe. He would never know where to, for he lost his grip and fell into the abyss between worlds. When he finally tumbled back into the material plane, he was somewhere else entirely. Earth.

He wouldn’t have made it far in this strange new world if not for the help of Mathis, a mage of that world. Because of his ties to incarnum, Shadow found himself able to tap into the same power Earth’s mages could. Mathis helped teach Shadow how to use magic in its true essence, but it didn’t last. The mages of Earth were insanely jealous, and one of Mathis’s competitors murdered him. Shadow escaped into the same abyss that had deposited him on that planet, and he floated once more through the planes.

He was next deposited onto a temple floating through Limbo, and Shadow found himself at the home of the Githzerai. Despite some initial hostile misunderstandings, they allowed him into their society, and he learned to master the powers within himself needed to achieve in battle. He used his newfound unarmed combat abilities and magical powers to help defend their temple against multiple attacks by the Githyanki, until the time came for him to wander again.

Shadow then found himself in the city of Sigil. He hired himself out as a spellsword, sans the sword. He went on many adventures throughout the planes, and when he cleared out a dungeon, he wondered, who would use it next? Many seemed made for habitation, and it seemed like a damned shame to let them just sit empty. One of his allies, Grimtooth, had begun teaching him how to be a master trap maker, and soon, they went into business for themselves clearing out dungeons, examining their traps, restocking them and selling them to all takers. Grimtooth eventually tired of the constant adventuring, and retired from adventuring, choosing to work as a complete trapmaster instead.

Meanwhile, Shadow is still in the Dungeon business. Amongst his creations is the Tome of Horrors and a series of almost endless dungeons underneath a little nowhere town called Tristram. Shadow spends most of his time in the World Serpent Inn, were he meets perspective clients, and hears rumors of Dungeons he can clear out and make his own, or at least claim those that have been cleared out by others (his preference)
