| "This ex-Ranger has turned stalking into an art form. The Shadow could be lurking lurking about right next to you and chances are you'd never know it.

Jagged Alliance 3[]
| "Practically the American mirror image of Scope, A.I.M.'s top sharpshooter, Shadow, excels at moving swiftly across the battlefield to set up for a perfect kill shot. But where Scope is friendly and trained in urban combat, Shadow is a quiet loner who prefers to use the great outdoors as his battlefield. His skill is using stealth and camouflage to hide from his target until the time is right for a lethal strike makes him worth every penny. Kyle has recently finished a three-week training program called 'Cleft and Chasm: The Art of Declivity Impersonation' and is ready for assignment." - A.I.M. Dossier, Jagged Alliance 3 |

Notes[]
- A powerful sniper and stealth artist. Expensive, but worthwhile if you can afford him.
- An alternative way to use Shadow in combat is to give him at least four throwing knives and send him to fight at night time. He is capable of clearing a sector from enemies by hurling the knives at their backs with minimal backup from other mercs.
