Shane was born of a wealthy family in
Vesper, though he has nothing except his name now. His
parents disowned him when he became wanted. Shane did not
intentionally become evil, but rather he was branded such
by Lord British for attacking and killing two nobles.
Shane claims it was self-defense. After being severely
harrassed in town and eventually being kicked out
entirely, Shane decided to live up to his reputation,
turning his back upon the world. He still has a few
friends from the city who have also grown sick of the
warped justice system Britannia uses. They roam the
countryside, killing any nobles they find, for they
believe that nobles are the true evil. To an extent,
Shane's magical training has warped his own sense of
right and wrong, turning him into the self-justified
murderer he has become. Shane is a very difficult person
to get along with, as he trusts few and his arrogance is
great. He enjoys playing with his victims instead of
killing them outright. He can be seen frequently taunting
residents of the cities from outside the guards'
protection, and is quite insulting to those he does not
know or know of. In his arrogance, he wishes to
eventually overthrow Lord British himself and claim the
throne. It is even rumored that an ancestor of Shane came
from that same strange world that the King did, thus
explaining his unusual last name...
