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.

Shadow Wraiths are shadowed primarily converted in the frequencies of the Outer Darkness. There, in these evil realms of spirit, lurk souls that have done foul things in the Physical World, tainting their spiritual vibrations and causing them to exist in the hellish planes. The Anax seeks the souls of the living, but usually has only Halloween night to collect souls from the mortal plane. However, in the Shadowlands, he spends all his time, lording over the Shadowed. His minions constantly seek out other spirits of that particular realm and those above it in the Outer Darkness, and fight them in order to add them to the faction. Shadow wraiths are such beings. Created when a wraith of the Physical World or the Outer Darkness becomes shadowed, they are just as they were before- cold, greedy, and obsessed. Wraiths usually suffer from acute obsession over an object or place, but in the case of shadow wraiths, they singularly focus only on acquiring souls for the Anax. Incorporeal, even in the Physical World, they are capable of physically possessing a human body until the sun rises, banishing both wraith and victim into the Shadowlands.
