Shade worked alongside his father as a member of the guard in Aziara, protecting cities from outside threats other than the sheer cold. Over time, his status grew, but he eventually left the kingdom to accompany a certain someone who had visited on account of an important mission. To this day, he still travels with her group, working as her aide and defender.

Personality-wise, Shade’s a very business-oriented individual, always willing to speak his mind and work with his team. Off-duty he’s much more laid back, even open to a little prank or two on those he’s closest to. (Around people he's new to, he's even a bit awkward.) It takes some work to pull him out of his need-to-do-things attitude, but if you can accomplish it, you’ll know you’ve earned solid friendship status with him.

These Ziral characters are quite interesting. If it's alright with you, I'd like some day to ask you to make one for me, and then see what I can make of it from there.
