ShadowGuard:
The Night-time Negotiator, The Shadow Spectre
"No matter where you go or where you are. You are being watched by the ShadowGuard!"
Lamont Charslton:
To the average man, Lamont is nothing more than a well dressed owner of the local bookstore, 'The Last Page,' but in fact he is much more. Born wealthy, he spent the early years of his life traveling around the world learning all he could, thus leading to his love for books. Along the way he learned all forms of martial arts as well as other useful pieces of information, but none as unique as the power of his mind! Returning back to America he choose to use his special talents in the war against crime, along with his vast members of lackeys he employs.
Shadowguard:
Know only through rumors and tall tales, Shadowguard is best described as a 'Boogeyman" in the night. He is often described as either appearing in the form of only a Shadow, or worse, just a maniacal laughter. He is the pinnacle perfection of man, using both his mind and muscle to save the day along with what some would call magic. His entire appearance is meant to strike fear in the hearts of criminals, yet he can be as gentle as a lamb to others. But for the most part he comes across as cold and distant, always trying to think ahead, in order to portray the vigilante motif. However there are sometimes he will let his guard down, at which times he seems almost human. But when his guard is up, and he hides in the shadow, he is in fact, The Shadowguard!!!
