Shadow has specialized Skeans that deal magical elemental damage to enemies, and give himself the Vanish and Blink statuses to evade enemy attacks. His ability in Final Fantasy VI is Throw, which he can use to throw weapons at enemies for heavy damage that ignores defense. Shadow is an archetypal Ninja, focusing on striking enemies rapidly and evading attacks. While not explicitly stated in any version of Final Fantasy VI, it was confirmed in an interview with the developers that Shadow is Relm's father.
Such hints include: Shadow's dreams reveal he found his way to Thamasa and fathered a daughter before leaving to keep his past from catching up with his family an NPC in the town mentions a rumor that Relm isn't really Strago's granddaughter, just a friend's daughter Relm is the only person other than Shadow that Interceptor is friendly with Shadow is the only other person able to use Relm's Memento Ring which grants a "departed mother's love" at the end of the game, Shadow gives his reasons for living as "friends. Throughout Final Fantasy VI, there are hints of a connection between Shadow and Relm. By the end of the game, he acknowledges them as friends, and fights alongside them to save the world from Kefka. When he joins the party he rarely speaks or gets involved in their affairs, but does develop a kinship with them over time, first when advising Terra about "people who have killed their emotions", encouraging her not to do the same.
In Thamasa, Shadow rescues the party from a burning house, though he claims it was only to retrieve Interceptor who was with them. Shadow cares for Interceptor greatly and is often seen attending to him, and on other occasions feeds him by hand and expresses concern for his safety. He typically only shows kindness to his dog Interceptor. Shadow is regarded by others as a cold-blooded mercenary who would kill anyone if he was paid. He'd kill his own best friend for the right price. Shadow's weaponry in spin-off titles varies, but he commonly wields ninja blades and throwing stars. In his past as "Clyde", Shadow wore a light brown cloak with folds around his shoulders, a blue tunic, and boots. Some concept art depict Shadow with blue robes on his torso and yellow or white pants, but this design has never been used in-game.
Some details of Shadow's outfit, such as the color of his shoulderpads and headcrest, are colored differently depending on the source he has brown details in his SNES sprites, purple details in his iOS sprites, and blue details in his concept arts. He wears an armored band around his cowl with a crest above his eyes, and two spikes emerge from the sides.
Shadow wears a black ninja outfit consisting of spiked shoulderpads, a sash on his waist, and a cowl that conceals his face but for his eyes, which appear blue in his SNES sprite and red in his iOS sprite and his concept arts.
