Who they are
Shaco was an enchanted marionette made as a toy for a lonely prince. After the prince died, dark magic corrupted him and gave him a mind of his own.
Now a wanted fugitive, he uses poisoned blades, jack-in-the-boxes, invisibility and clones to torment victims for fun.
Their story belongs to Wanderers. Demons, spirits and ancient survivors that belong to no single place.
