Shade is one of the longest standing authors on the GTT. Always with a quib and a case of Mountain Drew on hand, he has battled several monsters and other authors to become one of the dominating writers. His primary foe is Dark Jedi, who he has battled on hundreds of occasions, not to mention his various minons, Dark Troopers and clones. Other enemies include Darker Jedi, an even more eccentric version of his regular enemy who is beleived to have perished at the hands of his counterpart, and the Bortzila plants who plague the site on a semi-regular basis.
