=== Founding of the Saints' Shadows ===

At 19 cycles old, Kellan was planned to form the '''Saints' Shadows''', an underground organization taking ~~“gray~~-~~area”~~ contracts to resolve disputes, sometimes with words and sometimes with force. The group also patrolled lower St. Stylinson to impose a rough stability in areas where authorities were portrayed as absent or indifferent.

The group also patrolled lower St. Stylinson to impose a rough stability in areas where authorities were portrayed as absent or indifferent.

By 25 cycles old, ~~Kellan’s~~ criminal reputation was intended to be at its peak, while remaining positioned as ~~“low~~-~~risk”~~ compared to major syndicates~~. Four additional core gang members were outlined at a high level, but were never finalized before the storyline was shelved~~.

The Saints' Shadows were planned to operate out of a building in St. Stylinson disguised as a run-down tavern, with a staircase leading down into a cellar where the group would conduct business. Kellan himself would almost always be found standing outside the building. Although the storyline was abandoned, the building itself still exists, but its interiors remain empty. Design notes indicate that the interior was intended to visibly change as Kellan's story progressed.

Two members of the Saints' Shadows were especially important to the story. '''Idina Derron''' was a red-haired thief who grew up in the same orphanage as Kellan. At 24 cycles old, she was described as quick-witted, blunt, and deeply committed to helping others no matter the cost. '''Lorian Elmswood''' was a kind, slightly thick-skulled former soldier turned sword-for-hire. He left military service after injuring his leg and being discharged despite healing almost perfectly. In later revisions, Lorian was also intended to become Kellan's love interest.
