History: Before he bonded with Inuyasha, he had merely been a clone of the half-breed created from a little hair absorbed in him by the will of his orriginal master, the black Dog of Underdark. Lord Tailos. His original purpose was to guard the hostage his Lord brought to the Shadow Realm. The mission became his undoing in loyalties, for the longer he remained a clone to his host, the more he began to slowly share with his host till he too began to feel the emotions his host feels for the modern priestess, Kagome. He sent her away and turned traitor to his lord, slaughtering his kin and becoming an outsider. In thanks for protecting Kagome, Inuyasha unknowingly bound himself to this shade by sharing blood with him. A blood bond is permanent till death. So permanent in fact that the shade's very existance is linked to Inuyasha's life. If Inuyasha dies, then so does he. But, if the opposite should happen, then no harm would come to Inuyasha.
Personality: Since bonding with his host, he has adopted many of the personality traits of Inuyasha himself. However some of his old traits still remain. He is cold, blunt, sadistic, and flirty to the ladies.
Other: He can be summoned to the natural world by Inuyasha only at night or in dark places.
