The Shadowed are a faction of the Outer Darkness, a dimension rife with unholy, dark aberrations. The Anax leads these creatures after he takes away their free will, minds, and souls. They are mostly found in the vibratory dimension of the Outer Darkness known as the Shadowlands, the lowest frequency of existence itself. In most cases, the victims (either corporeal or incorporeal) become twisted, evil versions of their old selves, retaining whatever knowledge they once held. However, in cases of phobia, the afflicted become mockeries of their intense fears. Thus, turning their fears into a strength and perverse joy.

Pyrophobes are shadowed, who irrationally feared fire in life. When faced with the Anax or one of his minions, the victim was forced to watch themselves burn and their flesh boil and sizzle an infinite number of times, until their minds broke and they exchanged their souls for peace. Like all shadowed, they have sharp, glowing claws and swarm with black ink-like shadows on their bodies. However, pyrophobes are wreathed in shadowy flames. These fires burn the soul and mind, leaving the flesh completely unblemished. Basking in the unholy glow, everywhere that they walk, their freezing flames follow.
