Some info for people, since Shade is a fairly obscure character in the comics. He makes few appearances outside of Starman, and that run ended quite some time ago. So here is what most people in-Universe would know.
Shade was, at one point, a villain who fought the original Flash. He was a member of the Injustice Society. He is no longer considered an active villain.
No real attempt was made to arrest Shade after the end of his villain career in part because he’s considered too powerful to keep under normal conditions and because he has demonstrated himself not to be a danger to the public.
Shade has, on several occasions, defended Opal City. During the Infinite Crisis he stood as the cities sole protector. During the Blackest Night he defended Opal from a Black Lantern. He also saved London when it was being attacked by two giant inter-dimensional beings.
Shade’s official residence is unknown, though he is confirmed to live in Opal City.
Some important bits about interactions, and Shade’s powers.
Shade is, and I cannot emphasize this enough, insanely powerful. That power does have limits, but he is effectively immortal and has demonstrated terrifying feats of power. For instance, when he simultaneously killed every threat inside an apartment building. He attacked multiple targets on various floors and took them all down in the same moment.
Slade Wilson was sent on a kill contract at one point and knew how dangerous Shade was. He used a robotic duplicate to attack Shade because he knew a frontal attack would be suicide. If Deathstroke knows a dude is dangerous and takes precautions, please do so yourself.
Shade is a heroic figure, now. But he doesn’t wear the title, because he’s simply too old and too strange to fit into it. He kills. He tortures. He will do whatever he must to succeed, and then he will go home and have a cup of tea because liquefying a warehouse full of goons does not phase him in the slightest.

Additionally, send me a year between 1818 and present day and I’ll write a journal entry from Shade’s journals.
