History
The Shade did not always appear as the dilapidated creature that now stands before you.

Thousands of moons ago, when the Clans first came to settle besides the lake, a ValleyClan medicine cat took a particular interest to learning the ways of Minerva the Oracle. He presented himself to the ancient albino spirit as a young, wandering mind, wanting to learn more about the stars and how to harness their power.

Minerva taught the medicine cat all that she knew: how to track the stars, how to speak in their ancient language, and how to use their powers to travel between the different realms of existence.

The Shade attempted to use this knowledge to seal off StarClan, for daring to refuse his unwilling choice in apprentice. Thankfully, Minerva was able to intercede in time, interrupting the ceremony and banishing the Shade to the realm of spirits in the process.

From there, his refusal to die, fury at rejection, and hatred of StarClan festered, creating the Dark Forest...

When Thislestar perished in exile, he was turned away from StarClan, to the Dark Forest. From there, he learned of the existence of the Shade, who recognized a kindred spirit in his hatred towards StarClan. The Shade taught Thistlestar what he had learned from Minerva, working with the former leader of StreamClan to begin organizing the Dark Forest to eradicate StarClan...
