Hi-Rez Studios’ developers have taken to the official site to introduce the new Champion arriving in Paladins: Shadows update. Welcome Vatu, the Shadow! His origins are shrouded in the same shadow he uses as a weapon. He is the knife in the night, ending an eternal conflict – he is the untimely death, never confirmed as accidental.
He and the Thousand Hands guild have an understanding: they provide him with work and money, and he takes care of their problems. The only thing clear in his actions are his desire to protect his Ska’Drin people and his deadly capability to do so.
