Shane, also known by his real name Shane Kinslayer, is a former assassin for the city of Aianfoje; he is also a Hunter. Because of his former forced betrothal and desire to hide himself, he goes by many aliases as he travels around, but one he is most known for is Shizuka, meaning in the Old Tongue “Silent Strider”. He is initially cold and surly to people, but if you get close to him, he is kind and considerate. He first meets Zach and Keira when Keira is wounded and Zach is searching for help. He wants nothing more than to help at first, but soon after, he starts to catch feelings for Keira.
