Shadow was created by Dr. Gereld Robotnik aboard the space colony ARK. He was raised by Gerald and Maria, whom Shadow adored. He was designed to be an Ultimate Life Form.
The ARK was captured and shut down by GUN, and in the process Gerald was arrested and later killed, Maria was killed before Shadow's eyes, and Shadow was put into a cryogenic sleep with only the memory of Maria's last words in his mind, a promise he would give his life to keep.
Shadow was released once more by Dr. Eggman, whom he told of the Eclipse Cannon, a powerful weapon that could be used to destroy the world. The dark hedgehog became confused with Sonic the Hedgehog. Sonic set off to find the impostor hedgehog and stop Eggman's plans of global conquest.
Joining up with the wily theif Rouge, Shadow and Eggman clashed with Sonic's party many times in a heated attempt to gain possession of all seven chaos emeralds. Both sides joined forces to get to the core of the ARK and stop it before it crashed into Earth, and in the process, the Biolizard, the prototype of the Ultimate Life, was released.
Sonic and Shadow, both in super forms, defeated the Biolizard and used Chaos Control to save the ARK from crashing into Earth, but Shadow unfortunately lost his life in the process. He died saving the world, keeping his promise to Maria.
