The Scarlet Shade is an created by Simon Kirby for use in the Landmark Universe. An avenging spirit from The Beyond, he possesses various supernatural powers including flight, intangability, telepathy, pyrokinesis and teleportation. Drawing on the mystical energies of the Netherworld, he is inhumanly fast and strong, invulnerable to virtually any physical attack and capable of battling major demons to a standstill. Appearing only between the hours of twilight and sunrise, he takes the form of a shadowy, ethereal phantom in a flowing red cloak. His simple presence can inspire fear in unsuspecting mortals and his dark, withering stare has been said to drive hardened criminals to the brink of suicide.
