Age: An adult, high 30s to low 40s

Gender: Male

Species: Unicorn

Appearance: I'm a white unicorn with two different shades of green for my mane that I don't ever have time to groom. My tail is the same. I have a cutie mark that I believe is a pocket due to my vest that I wear that is riddled with pockets full of stuff I probably won't ever need but keep anyways. You know, just in case I do need it. I have everything from flash lights to batteries, to CD's to very small books in my vest. You never can be to prepared. I also have a personal hoof watch that I always keep on me.

Cutie Mark: It could be interpreted as a pocket (because I love pockets and putting lots of things in pockets so I'm always prepared) or as a shield (because I am very loyal to my friends and would do what ever it takes to defend them).

Personality: I hate the heat and much rather prefer the cold. I am very loyal once you can convince me you aren't out to kill me. I am extremely paranoid and can come off as cold. I am very calculating and logical...most of the time. I have a bit of a split personality. I account for 9/10 of my personality but I have a second personality I've taken to calling Poe. He is a bit more sporadic and some what chaotic. He has no sense of logic and seems to sometimes enjoy senseless violence.

Backstory: I guess I was somewhat of a pony for hire. Taking odd jobs (not all of them honorable of mentionable if front or the foals) and working my way on to different species hate lists. Everypony from griffons to the zebra's have a faction or two that has it out for me, whether it's because I broke up a gang or killed the head of a family. The most dangerous group I've ticked off though is the changelings. I am some what famous for being able to replicate complicated spells. It's something of a hobby of mine. Or it was, until Princess Luna herself hoof picked me to lead up a special recon group named the Shades. Then it became my job to find dangerous magic, figure out how to replicate it, then figure out how to fight it should it ever be used against us. Us being the NLR or New Lunar Republic. See The Shades are a "nonexistent" branch of the NLR that nopony knows about but those on the inside and the Princess. And when the changelings became a rising threat, the Princess of the Night asked me to take some of our best and see if we could do something about them. This was all after I spent a little time in some small town named Ponyville. While I was there, I grew close to a rather...interesting group of mares, one in particular. Her name was Twilight Sparkle. I was walking through the park one day when I heard crying. Being the chivalrous stallion that I am I had to find out why a mare was crying. To my surprise, it was one of my six new friends. After inquiring as to the reason for her distress, we, together, remedied the problem. After that, we were never far from each other. We grew pretty close, until that fateful mission when I ended up being taken captive by the changelings. I still don't know what happened to her.
