He likes the presence of other people, mostly because they tend to take care of menial chores, despite his 'lonerish' attitude, He isn't the type for revenge, but his desire to not see anymore casualties among his comrades is enough to keep him fighting.

Shade is highly perceptive, and remains composed during difficult events. He assesses the situation and devises an appropriate plan of action, usually not doing something without reason.
History:Shade's life of pillaging and adventuring actually began after he first took a bite out of the Yami Yami no Mi. Now, he was born as an orphan on the streets of Ruko - a shadowy city out on the coasts of the South Blue. He had been walking through alleys, a loaf of dried bread burning a hole inside of his hole-infested shorts, when he was alerted to two man arguing quietly near a dumpster. They were both tall...at least 10 feet tall, and they wore suits, combined with curly hair and glasses. One opened an ornate box, showing a fluffy purple fruit that immediately made Ruko's mouth water. Sneaking forward, the orphan attempted to leap down upon the two from a pipe-lining, only to be caught mid-air and blasted into the wall by a yellow beam. The two odd figures were about to kill the child without a sound...only for a man to come out of no-where and decapitate the two where they stood. His name was...Kage...and ever since that day, that older man taught Shade everything he knew, combat-wise, after Shade swallowed the fruit whole out of hunger. Ever since that day, Shade set off at the age of 15, making a name for himself out in the life of pirates as he planned on becoming the Pirate King.
