Shadowstrike

Nevermore's Evaluation: Shadowstrike is among four affluent city kids on the team. Of all of them, he is the most screwed-up. Imagine, if you will, the psychosomatic ability to shapeshift into the form of your favorite role-playing character. (In this case, it is a "dark elf" from Dungeons and Dragons!) Now imagine the ability to blot out light in a localized area when in that form. Sometimes it's a help, sometimes it's a hindrance. Also, he possesses some semblance of cyberkinesis and/or psychokinetic electrical manipulation.

Shadowstrike often is confused by details, despite having an intellect that places him in the top percentile of Americans (tested at 160 and higher on the Mensa and Sanford-Binet scales, 190 on the Wechsler). He possesses a combined visual-kinaesthetic learning modality, but vascillates between the inductive and deductive styles. His concept of how the universe works is unique--i.e., it works only for him--but understandable given the unique powers mentioned above.

Despite all this, and despite the daunting challenges of working with a team, Shadowstrike's intellect shone through when he mapped out Ravensgate's money trail. Tabula Rasa completed that map, but it was Shadowstrike's efforts which initiated the investigation.
