Appearance
The children of Alveua, the shinobi also known as shade warriors, are the elite cadre of assassins and spies in Malfeas. When called up in Creation, this demons serve in the same capacity as they do in Malfeas.
When shinobi materialize in Creation, they do so from the shadows (typically of their victims) or if there are none, their very materialization will create one momentarily. The shinobi possess no shadows of their own.
They take their missions seriously, always hoping for a chance to kill. For those they kill have their shadows stolen. The shinobi uses the shadows of their victims to forge their weapons and armour.
Their swords are slender glittering blades of darkness that can slice the light of the brightest of lamps, while their darts are swift as shadows and just as unstoppable. None, save their creator, have seen the shinobi without their shadow armour, for that is forged at their creation from the shinobi's shadow.
If slain in battle, the shinobi collapses into a pile of dust that is blown away by an non-existent wind.
When in battle, they practice an ancient martial arts created in honor of their most ancient of ancestors, the Ebon Dragon. The creation born mortals have perverted this style and call it "Five Dragons Fight as One Style", but the shinobi know it by its true name "Ebon Dragon's Ascension Style".
