Soldier Type: Shadows.

Shadows (also known as Specters) are a division of special Paragon operatives, composed entirely of females, that are deployed as scouts, spies, saboteurs and assassins.

Shadows wear sleek body suits with cloaks and thin visors. Their suits are designed to resist fire, radiation, freezing, electricity, and limited projectile protection. They have belts (and sometimes sheaths) that can replicate attached weapons for the Shadows to use. Their suits also give them a variey of abilities, such as cloaking, signature masking, phasing, blinking, detection evasion, appearance changing, etc. The suits also have magnetic pads on their gloves and boots, allowing the Shadow to walk on other surfaces.

Shadows, like Gladiators, are trained from birth in a wide variety of different CQC methods, and a variety of different combat tactics. They also have a very diverse arsenal, with most of their weapons being melee. They have been known to use daggers, swords, claws, tomahawks, SMGs and electric staffs, but also use weapons of Asian origin, such as katanas, kunais, chain sickles, kamas, nunchucks and more. On occasion, they wield crossbows, bows and even sniper rifles.

Like with Footmen, Crusaders and other Paragon infantry, Shadows have communication devices attached to their wrists. They use private channels to avoid transmissions being intercepted. They may be equipped with various different gadgets and devices depending on their assignment.
