"We've traced Yor's steps from beginning to end and back again. We've studied his reign — the terror he seeded, the violence he wrought as if free of conscience. Only to discover a true and terrible thing: he was not simply the monster the legends claim him to be."
— Teben Grey[1]

The Shadows of Yor are a group of Guardians who seemingly idolize the infamous Dredgen Yor, to the point that they utilize replicas of Yor's signature weapon, Thorn, and have adopted new names in honor of him. Most disturbingly, some Shadows have even tried to explain away his terrible misdeeds by claiming it was all a lie, that he turned because he had no choice. Their overarching purpose is to follow Yor’s path up to but not past the point of outright corruption. [1]

Although they assert that their Thorns have been cleansed of any influence of the Darkness, the Shadows of Yor have begun exhibiting increasingly strange behavior,[2] including ignoring objectives in the Crucible and killing other Guardians during matches seemingly for the pleasure of killing. The Vanguard and Shin Malphur monitor their activities.[3][4][5][6][7]

Ironically, the Shadows of Yor were in fact founded by an undercover Shin Malphur after he noticed that some Guardians were beginning to show interest in Dredgen Yor. Aiming to weed out the weak-minded and corrupt, Shin forged a new identity as "Dredgen Vale" and together with Teben Grey, founded the group that idolize his greatest enemy. Shin sought to succeed where Yor failed by walking the line between Light and Darkness without losing himself, and find others strong enough to do the same. [8]
