Shadow Knight

Restrictor rings are attached to the wrists and ankles (they help control the enormous force). Overall impression: a collected, sharp silhouette, a cold and focused look. Cold and determined, Shadow rarely shows emotion and wastes no time on idle chatter. He acts when he has a goal and is ready to see it through to the end, even if the cost is high. An antihero, not a villain. He may collaborate with dubious forces to achieve his goals, but in critical moments, he often sides with those who protect lives. He doesn't seek recognition or gratitude. Reserved care. Shadow doesn't show affection openly, but he's willing to sacrifice himself for others. Internal conflict. He is torn between his duty to the "highest form of life" and his own feelings, between revenge and the desire to live according to Mary's precepts. Hence his harshness and distrust of others. Speed ​​and acrobatics. He glides effortlessly along rails, dodges bullets, and performs complex aerial stunts. Chaos Control. Key Ability: Using the Chaos Emeralds, he can distort space and time—teleport, slow down time, and create energy effects. Superhuman strength and durability. Capable of flipping heavy objects, withstanding serious blows, and fighting for long periods of time without tiring. Fighting style: aggressive, straightforward, with powerful strikes and fast combinations. He doesn't dodge for the sake of dodging, but uses speed to overwhelm his opponent.
