For Shade was once a mortal man, subject to the vagaries of time and fate. But through the grace of the Balls Deities, he was given the gift of eternal life, and became a holy witness to their divine revelation. He is a reminder of the fleeting nature of human existence, and a guardian of the cycle of life and death. Those who seek his guidance and follow his teachings will find solace in the face of their own mortality, and will be comforted by the eternal love of the Balls Deities.
