Farris was brought to life from Marcus' shadow when Marcus was still a boy. Perhaps it was Farris that inspired him to become a shadow dancer, or more likely it was because he was a shadow dancer all along that Farris came to exist. No one knows for certain, and neither of them is talking.

Although Farris is his own being, he is and will always be physcially a part of Marcus. Because of this it is impossible for Farris to go Marcus' range of sight on his own. Marcus can seperate from him for a short time (something which is useful for scouting), but it takes a great deal of energy and is exhausting for both of them.

Farris normally stays hidden, simply appearing as Marcus' shadow as anyone else's shadow would. When he emerges, Marcus appears to have no shadow, this is of course because Farris is his shadow. However this has a disorienting affect on those who do not know of their relationship and often gains them an upper hand in conflicts.

While he is generally quiet and calm, Farris does have a bit of a mischevious side to him, often using his abilites to move around unnoticed and sneak up on people. He especially enjoys doing this to even the odds a bit when the others are ganging up on poor Marcus.

Relations:

Marcus - more than a shadow companion, Farris is actually Marcus' shadow
