Ren Shadowblade: A loyal student to the Yanléi, Ren has taken well to the teachings of shadow magic. Skillied in summoning sets of shadow arms and learning to summon fiends, he is a fearful many-limbed assassin. In recent times, he has grown fascinated and enamoured with the power Kayn has found in the Darkin weapon they now wield. Together, they lead the search and study of the ancient, cursed weapons in the hopes of finding more, and using them to the Order's advantage. It is an open secret that he wishes to claim the next Darkin weapon found, but he is not foolish enough to question what Kayn decides when it is inevitably found.
Royce, The Butcher: A different path walked, but a similar beginning. Royce has been caught up in the Noxian military ever since he can remember. Once a child soldier thrown to the Ionian frontline, he was one of the very few survivors, and was dragged back to Noxus by the forces who found him. Begrudgingly, he served as a soldier since then, his hatred for the empire festering all that time without anyone to confide in. The final straw was being sent after the stolen Darkin weapon that lead him back to Ionia, wherein he finally cast off his duties, and joined the very Order he had been sent to attack or die to. He and Kayn have found a connection through their similar pasts, and their love of spilling the blood of Noxians, becoming fast brothers in arms.
Ysdra, Keeper of the Box: In a long-held tradition once disconnected from the Yanléi, Ysdra was chosen to be the Guardian of the Box, an artefact found in the Shadow Isle's. The legend goes that it holds a creature connected to the shadows, and paranoia so powerful it predicts the future. Tasked to be the willing host so that it would not attempt to escape to find one, it has been decades since the priestess took up her mantle. Although hesitant to leave her eternally crumbling temple at first, the Shadow Reaper has persuaded her that the powers of the Box would serve a greater purpose in tandem with the Order.
the Forsaken Baccai: After centuries of avoiding the light and brooding in resentment within ancient Shuriman ruins, the Baccai clings to the memory of Rhaast and his gift before their ascension. When the same powerful soul he had once stood by finally resurfaced, there was suddenly a course of action. In a frantic search, the Baccai encountered the wielder of his once ally, now cursed and trapped in the form of a scythe. Although his skills in communicating have corroded, the Shadow Order has welcomed the Baccai as a powerful ally, and has provided a place in the world for him, close to his old friend again.
Ranger-knight Defector: Self-inflicted petricite poisoning to subdue her magical abilities left the scout filled with inner turmoil. Her rage-fueled violence led to her eventual defection from the Demacian Rangers. Scarred and lost, the former ranger-knight found the Shadow Order and with it, not only a way to hone her violent streak, but a system that did not ask her to conceal her true potential. Although the petricite potions she once consumed have ravaged her throat and vocal chords, many members of the order have learned to communicate with her, and she is studying the healing properties of shadow magic.
