Covidius, or as he is more notoriously known, “The Shadow” is an unassuming looking young elf, with jet-black hair typically pulled back into a knot and dark, curious, almost-black eyes. He is most often seen wearing a mask-if he is seen at all. Slight and quick, Covidius can almost seem to be everywhere at once, quickly moving from shadow to shadow almost before you notice. However, when he chooses to, he is also capable of totally dominating a room or situation, completely shutting everything down and pulling all attention to himself. His only distinguishing feature is a curious tattoo of a strange, spiky ball on his collarbone, and a brass ring that he wears on his left middle finger. He often dresses in dark clothing that seems to blend into the shadows around him and carries a short sword, and a variety of tools. He also habitually stands 3 feet away from everyone around him and frequently washes his hands.

Personal history
Mother died giving birth to him.
Father-“Coronald Pandemicus” resented him for it. Raised him to the age of ten so that he could learn basic elven skills and then threw him out into the streets of a human city, far away from his hometown.
Covidius learned to pick pockets and steal food to survive.
He was one day out doing his daily routine of picking pockets in the marketplace when he was caught by one of the women he was trying to steal from – “CeedySea,” who as it turns out was a monk in a secret order of monks know as “The Darks” who were a special guild of thieves and assassins. CeedySea, impressed by Covidius’ skill even after catching him, and intrigued by an elf living on the streets in a human city, gave him a choice-be turned in to the police, or come with her. Covidius, not wanting to face the police decided to play along until he had the opportunity to escape.
Upon arriving at the order, Covidius was immediately enthralled by the idea of being trained to do what he could already do, but better, and surrounded by a ‘family.’ He decided to stay and lived, worked, and learned alongside the monks for 18 years.
However, one day CeedySea was sent out on an impossible mission-one that Covidius tried to talk his way into joining, but was told that he was not experienced enough. The mission failed, and word returned that CeedySea had been killed. Covidius-distraught at losing the person who had become like a mother to him, turned away from the order (whom he blamed for her death)-and fled to the New World.
