He was befriended by Gerald's granddaughter, Maria, who promised him they would go to Earth together. However, G.U.N. raided the Space Colony ARK to stop Gerald's research, killing Maria in the process. As she died, Maria made Shadow promise to protect the people of Earth. Shadow was sealed away for 50 years until he was awakened by Eggman, who used him as a weapon. After learning of Maria's death and being manipulated into revenge, Shadow discovered the truth and dedicated himself to fulfilling Maria's promise. He has since become a guardian of Earth, sometimes working with G.U.N., sometimes alone, always walking his own path.
