Before the days of Shadow, Midas set his sights on building an empire of espionage, intrigue, and conquest. Enter his original three operatives.
The First Shadows

SHADOW is a Spy and Military Faction in Fortnite: Battle Royale, existing as one of the two divisions of Midas' crew, along with GHOST - Logo - Fortnite GHOST.

It was first introduced in Chapter 2: Season 1. SHADOW is under the direct authority and control of Midas, the original founder, but has also been managed by other higher ups, such as Brutus, Midas' right-hand man[1], Meowdas, Chaos Director and formerly Chaos Agent.

During Chapter 2 and Chapter 3, they offered the services of their agents to various clients such as Spillexx. They also established an illegal arms trafficking system, orchestrated numerous efforts at infiltrating opposing groups, and conducted experiments at both Slurpy Swamp and Steamy Stacks. Their most well known operation was waging war against GHOST, following the conflicts and rivalry between the teams in A.L.T.E.R. and E.G.O.

During Chapter 2 Remix, they were contracted by Snoop's Enterprise.

Overview[]

The First Shadows - Lore - Fortnite

SHADOW is the first division of Midas' crew , and has existed long before GHOST, due to Midas having formed the group before the events of Chapter 2: Season 1. Their founding members were Chaos Origins, Sierra and The Burning Wolf, though they have expanded plenty since. From Chapter 2: Season 4 until Chapter 4: Season 1, SHADOW was mostly inactive, with many of the offline agents acting independently outside the faction, offering their services to more "current" organizations like the Imagined Order during Chapter 3: Season 2. They did, however, publicly become active again from Chapter 4: Season 1 and beyond.

In Chapter 5: Season 2, Marigold called back Midas' crew after she discovered Midas was in The Underworld, and both the major players from both SHADOW and GHOST reconciled their former grudges, reuniting the crew anew.

In Chapter 2 Remix, two agents are revealed to co-lead SHADOW, Meowdas and Chaos Director, the later being Chaos Agent's boss and the one who granted him authority over the faction back in Chapter 2. SHADOW, along with GHOST, were also contracted by Snoop's Enterprise to protect their bases.

History[]

Before Chapter 2[]

Call the Shadows (Full) - Loading Screen - Fortnite

Midas - Outfit - FortniteMidas founded his crew at an unknown time in an unknown reality[23]. Through his covert skills, he set his sights on building an empire of espionage, intrigue, and conquest. For this he recruited three people with great potential to his cause:

  • The first was The Burning Wolf - Outfit - FortniteThe Burning Wolf, a former knight believed to be a legend by soldiers, and who attacked Midas' crew[24]; known as Midas' first enforcer.
  • The second was Chaos Agent, then known as Chaos Origins - Outfit - FortniteChaos Origins, a mad scientist who once defeated The Burning Wolf[25], and tried to dominate the world before being stopped by Midas himself; known as Midas' first redeemed.
  • The third was Sierra - Outfit - FortniteSierra, a fighter who lost her family and seeks revenge on the perpetrators; known as Midas' first pardoned.
Together, they formed The First Shadows: the very first agents of the newly formed faction named SHADOW. This marked the official beginning for the organization beyond Midas' personal conquest.

Chapter 2: Season 1[]

Dockyard Deal (Full) - Loading Screen - Fortnite

After an unknown period of time, a new faction appeared in Midas' crew, named GHOST, which quickly became rivals with SHADOW. The Imagined Order recruits the services of GHOST to study and map Apollo[26]. Unbeknownst to GHOST at the time, SHADOW had already begun engaging in various operations on the island.

Chaos Rising (Full) - Loading Screen - Fortnite
  • Chaos Agent - Outfit - FortniteChaos Agent watches and masterminds everything from his secret lair on the goings-on between A.L.T.E.R./SHADOW and E.G.O./GHOST.
    • He is interested in the REDACTED Bunker[30].
    • Chaos Agent also experiments with Sludges, and builds an army to hunt down the E.G.O. team across Apollo.

The E.G.O. team from GHOST and the A.L.T.E.R. team from SHADOW began entering into conflicts which triggered infighting among Midas' crew. A.L.T.E.R. agents started to oppose the members of E.G.O. and deliberately chased them down, with Rippley being one of their main targets.

Later in the season, Midas - Outfit - FortniteMidas selects Eye Land as the new grounds for the main base of GHOST, likely aware of the Zero Point stationed underneath it. Simultaneously, construction on five SHADOW Safe Houses around the island begins.

Chapter 2: Season 2[]

Midas (Ghost) - Outfit - FortniteMidas founded The Agency, his employment organization for spies from both the factions of GHOST and SHADOW. The organization has its headquarters of the same name built on Eye Land. Conflicts between SHADOW and GHOST escalate, and grow into an all-out Spy War.

  • Several spy bases were in operation across Apollo at this time: The Agency, The Grotto, The Shark, The Rig, and The Yacht. Besides the safehouses, however, there were no major compounds with public allegiance to SHADOW.
The Clash (Full) - Loading Screen - Fortnite

With The Agency now built, and tension arisen between the two, the war between GHOST and SHADOW begins in full. While Meowscles controlled The Yacht for GHOST, there were three members of Midas' crew who had not yet chosen their allegiance and remained neutral at the beginning: Brutus - Outfit - FortniteBrutus, TNTina - Outfit - FortniteTNTina and Skye - Outfit - FortniteSkye.

However, throughout the season, the balance of power between GHOST and SHADOW changed enormously:

  • Brutus (Shadow) - Outfit - FortniteBrutus was the first operative to choose SHADOW, and it became their Headquarters. He remained the only SHADOW operative of Midas' Crew to maintain full control of his spy base.
  • TNTina (Shadow) - Outfit - FortniteTNTina joined SHADOW and was primarily responsible for the ownership and destruction of The Rig, spilling oil into the ocean.
  • Unexpectedly, Meowscles (Ghost) - Outfit - FortniteMeowscles decided to betray GHOST for SHADOW, causing GHOST to send in Contract Giller and Deadpool to reclaim The Yacht for them. Meowscles (Shadow) - Outfit - FortniteMeowscles, now a SHADOW operative, was then sent to the Box Factory.
    • Deadpool was granted authority for GHOST over The Yacht in Meowscles (Shadow) - Outfit - FortniteMeowscles' absence.
  • Skye (Ghost) - Outfit - FortniteSkye was the last of Midas' main crew to choose a side, and with SHADOW roaming rampant, she transformed her Shark into a prison HQ for GHOST.


Doomsday Device (Stage 2) - Object - Fortnite

During the war, Midas gradually worked on a Doomsday Device with his daughter Jules - Outfit - FortniteJules made to break free from The Storm. This Device was located in his room, directly underneath The Agency, and possibly right above The Zero Point. Midas' room housed several things that hinted at his involvement behind the scenes:

    • A journal could be found in his room containing a drawing of Oro's scepter, as well as a sketched symbol representing the Storm.
    • A suit similar to that of Tempest's was also spotted in the room, its purpose likely being to defy the Storm, and either giving Midas control over it, or immunity to its effects.
      • This suit, that would later become Cyclo, could have also been found at The Rig.
Storm the Agency (Full) - Loading Screen - Fortnite

Near the end of the season, Renegade Shadow - Outfit - FortniteRenegade Shadow storms The Agency for SHADOW’s conquest. Countdowns for the activation of Midas' Device began appearing in the Agency and in Midas' own room.

The Device[]

The Device-Promo-Fortnite

The Device was activated on June 15, 2020. Upon its initiation, Midas' voice and several other Henchmen voices could've been heard as it executed its functions to try and push The Storm back, destroying much of The Agency.

  • When The Looper was temporarily brought out of the loop, files concerning Midas, Jules and another agent Lynx were spotted in Agent Jones' office, meaning that IO had long since been investigating him and his associates.

The Device's plan ultimately failed, and the Storm attacked The Device in retaliation, and turned into a giant Wall of Water. After the event, Midas (Shadow) - Outfit - FortniteMidas publicly reappears aligned with SHADOW, and controls what's left of The Agency for the now opposing faction - though he remains the de facto leader of GHOST.

Chapter 2: Season 3[]

The giant Wall of Water created by The Storm collapsed, flooding the entire Island. The headquarters of SHADOW are now The Authority, a larger version of The Agency re-constructed by Jules - Outfit - FortniteJules, and implemented a large anti-flood wall that surrounds the compound. Midas was attacked by a Loot Shark.

Get Fixed (Full) - Loading Screen - Fortnite
  • Due to the flooding of the island, The Grotto & The Rig are no longer fit for use as a bases for SHADOW and are therefore abandoned. All former SHADOW bases and safehouses, save for The Authority, have also become defunct.
    • Brutus (Ghost) - Outfit - FortniteBrutus defects to GHOST,[31] initiating bad blood between him and Jules.[32]
  • The Box Factory, formerly under Meowscles' jurisdiction, has turned into Catty Corner under control of his son, Kit - Outfit - FortniteKit.

SHADOW continues the war against GHOST who built The Fortilla as their new headquarters, albeit less aggressively. They kept them outnumbered until the end of the season.


Chapter 2: Season 4[]

Both The Authority and The Fortilla have been completely abandoned, and the war between GHOST and SHADOW seems to have ended, with many members now working for themselves[33], waiting to return online[13] again., pursuing other goals.

With the forces of The Society dwindling, and the new back together, SHADOW Agents take back control over The Marigold as their ticket out, and the tentative new home base for Midas and his crew.

  • Midas has suspicions that Brutus, has betrayed him, so he sends the Looper to confirm Brutus' loyalty [36]. The Looper finds that Brutus has remained loyal, and so he hands control of the Crew back to Midas. [1]
  • Marigold has also asked Jules to study the Chains of Hades with The Looper to help Midas to seal his Golden Touch. She discovers a mysterious "Essence" in the Underworld's gates, and uses it to start work on new "Gauntlets" which allow Midas to seal and unseal his Golden Touch at will.[11]
The Marigold (v29

Ascendant Midas (Shade) - Outfit - FortniteMidas sets his sights on escaping the island with The Marigold, wary of Hades' wrath and retaliation. Midas' goal is a fruitful voyage on his yacht to expand his empire somewhere else outside of the island for his mighty ambitions. While Brutus prepares The Marigold to leave with Midas[40], his top agents create distractions across Helios that allow his escape mission to succeed.[41] Midas hides out on Spawn Island, away from Hades, waiting for the plan to succeed.
Following the successful heist, Midas' Crew all collectively set forth on their voyage into the ambitious unknown, and have - for the foreseeable future - left the world of Fortnite: Battle Royale. However, some operatives of SHADOW remain on the island, with assignable SHADOW Briefings continuing to be offered, even around newer locations as the chapter progresses.

Chapter 5: Season 4[]

GHOST's primary Bases, The Shark and The Agency, were spray painted on Restored Reels by Hope. However, the spray paint has all of the GHOST logos painted over, with a SHADOW logo presented on the front of The Agency.

Chapter 2 Remix[]

Arriving in an alternate version of Apollo, SHADOW settled on the island and have taken back many of the bases originally under their control. Two high-ranking officers appear:

There are several key differences between their control over the island now versus in Chapter 2: Season 2, mainly - several previously key-locations for SHADOW are under GHOST control, namely The Agency and The Grotto.

Chaos Director, Meowdas and Dynamo TNTina were activated as agents for Snoop's Enterprise.

Recruitment[]

Beginning in Chapter 2: Season 2, SHADOW practiced an aggressive recruitment campaign against their apparent rival faction GHOST. After the season, SHADOW had adopted a more low-key persistence in their recruiting, with their "SHADOW WANTS YOU" posters being able to be found across Apollo for the entire chapter.

Many such posters were replaced by others (such as those welcoming/celebrating the Aliens in Believer Beach, or those advertising the cars introduced in Lazy Lake). Alternatively, some were outright removed. The locations of all posters were as follows:

Trivia[]

  • Before Chapter 5: Season 2 it was only speculation that GHOST and SHADOW were two factions of the same organization.
    • At an unknown period of time, GHOST was integrated into SHADOW and Midas' crew now act under the name SHADOW.
    • Nods like the Emoticon Ghosts of the Past have alluded to this conclusion without outright confirming it.
  • SHADOW's logo is mistakenly believed to represent Chaos Agent's mask because of a striking resemblance between the two.
    • According to the game files codenames, it actually represents a skull.
  • A.L.T.E.R is incorrectly considered to be the former name of the organization, when it refers only to the original team of agents sent during the events of Chapter 2: Season 1, they are distinguished from other SHADOW agents by the fact that they all have an alter-ego in the E.G.O team from GHOST.
  • Every Motorboat seems to have the SHADOW logo on them, despite them officially being able to bear the GHOST logo, as seen in the Loading Screen "Dive!".
