Holy Sol's Shadow

The is a group of assassins that secretly belong to The Holy Sol Temple.

Appearance
The Shadows wear white uniforms similar to harlequins. Wearing masks with curved eyes and devoid of mouths. When moving covertly, they wear black cloaks over their uniforms.

History
Joker was a member of the group in the past, however, he eventually left the group and the Church as a whole. In Year 184, the group attempted to find the Infernal that abducted Shō Kusakabe with the intention of killing it.

Abilities
The Shadows prioritize teamwork and hand-to-hand combat. When unleashed, every member battles with an intent to kill and use concealed blades. As they do not value human life, the Shadows are capable of fighting despite being grievously injured without expressing pain or emotion. It is unclear how many members have Second or Third Generation abilities.

VS. Holy Sol Temple Arc
As Benimaru Shinmon and Joker explore the underground passages beneath the Holy See, a minimum of eight Shadows approach them from the darkness with their hands in the reverse prayer gesture. The majority of the group battle against Benimaru while the captain battles against Joker. Despite their endurance and skill, the Shadows are ultimately beaten by the Captain of Company 7. The captain battles against Joker and is able to overpower him until the criminal's illusions leave him vulnerable. He is quickly killed by Joker. With only one death, Leonardo Burns is able to force the Holy Sol to deal with the matter internally and allow Joker and Benimaru to leave peacefully.

Trivia

 * The members of the group bear a resemblance to the Clowns of Atsushi Ōkubo's previous work, Soul Eater.
