Shade
On Threnody, the lingering, smoke-shaped souls of the dead — vague, person-shaped outlines whose eyes flash red when they turn deadly. Society on the homeworld bent itself around their rules to keep them placated. The Chorus of Canticle is composed of the same sort of being, but kept tame in glass and conversational rather than feared in the wild. STD:TSM:Ch 22
