Biography: Born in Galbadia, Shaft grew up with a hatred for sorceresses that fueled him throughout his life. An ex-SeeD of Balamb garden and an old rival of Crohan's. The two of them hated each other due to Crohan seeing Shaft as a cutthroat zealot and Shaft perceiving Crohan's compassion as weakness. Shaft was clearly the better student in their time at the garden, being praised as a child prodigy. However Quistis failed him for negligence to support an ally on assignment, resulting in the other SeeD's injury. Shortly after he flunked out of his other classes and was forced to leave the garden in disgrace. Returning to his roots by becoming a professional Witch Hunter he formed a group of followers who called themselves the Inquisition. On his travels he heard rumors about a strange new witch who had surfaced in the world, believed to be a demon. In pursuing her, Shaft came face to face with his old rival Crohan and learned that he had surpassed him in skill. The witch whose name he learned was Natalia proved to be no easy prey either. He and the Inquisition hunted them all over the country, losing many allies along the way until only Shaft remained. In the final showdown Shaft managed to severely wound Crohan, and in vengeance Natalia cursed his right arm. He fled to recover and in two months time he began his hunt anew. However by that time Natalia had left this world and the sorceress he believed to be her, he discovered too late was only a fledgling sorceress who had just come into her powers, and had been beloved by the village for her healing. He went into hiding shortly after and is still wanted for her attempted murder. After hearing of his hated enemy's return he sets out to slay her once more with the Hammer of Witches in hand.
Special Abilities: Can encase his right arm with shadow magic to allow it to move. He can also create spears out of shadows to propel at his enemies (up to six at a time).
