Shadow walkers are creatures of the Abyss meant to serve higher ranking demons. They work as spies to some but most work as assassins to cause chaos and discord among civilizations. They are known to torture their targets by driving them mad by momentarily appearing in the shadows, before disappearing; tricking most into thinking that they're losing their minds. |
