| ~ Assassin towards Shadow |
Summary
Assassin is the first bodyguard of Titan met by Shadow in Act VII: "Revelation". He is one of Shadow's doubles from a parallel world who, too, survived the Gates of Shadows' powerful Shadow Energy emission, but lacked the will to hold so much energy, and thus turned evil from its dark forces. His journey to redemption started exactly like Shadow's, alongside Sensei and May, but once he defeated Lynx the corruption of Shadow Energy took its toll on him, enveloping him with a sense of superiority over everyone else. That made him believe he was famous from that point onward as being the most talented assassin. And so, he took over the Assassin's Order by killing Lynx, then did away with Sensei and May, as such gaining control over deciding who lives and who dies. He arrived through the Gates of Shadows in the world of shadows by Titan's order, becoming one of the conqueror's bodyguards. He then fought against Shadow in order for Titan to test the hero's power, and was defeated. In his last words he claimed that Shadow's act of letting him live after their fight is a mistake that will cost the hero dearly one day.

Historical Importance Index
Historical Importance Index is a mechanism in the Shadow Fight world which allows all people to change the course of world history processes with their wishes, thus being able to change the face of the world based on their personality. Because everybody has access to this power, more often than not their wishes will intercept and clash with each other over which one gets to become reality. The winner whose wish will triumph over the one of his adversary is the one who is simply more important to the world than the other. This is why people who are very important will change the fate of the world with their wishes so suddenly they won't even know how they succeeded so easily, because they don't even have to try much, while those who are less important than the previously mentioned won't be able to change the world with their wishes even if they try harder than the more important people to make them reality, their wishes getting completely overwritten by those of the more important individuals. One's historical importance index is as high as how many other lives they impacted, and how dramatically. The higher the index of historical importance of a person is, the more "luck" they get in all their plans, the more of their wishes will come true.
