Canon
When Shadowsan was sent to kill his defected mentor, Dexter Wolfe, he learns that his Stealth 101 teacher's baby girl is the reason why. As he hid from his target, Dexter's daughter finds him hiding in the closet and was worried that she'll draw his father's attention to him, but the unexpected arrival of the police saved him from being discovered. From his hiding place Shadowsan sees Dexter giving hid daughter a Russian nesting doll to calm her down after he hide her away. Even though someone else killed Dexter Wolf before he could, Shadowsan knew that V.I.L.E.'s regulations require him to erase any loos ends to their exitance and burnt the villa down; but the little baby he discovered was the only loos end he couldn't being himself to erase. Shadowsan brought her back to V.I.L.E. Island and showed the baby to the surprised Faculty, who decide to gave the baby in after she displayed pick pottering-like stills while Shadowsan was give her late father's seat. Because Shadowsan doesn't know the name was given to the baby, he stands aside when his fellow faculty membered decide to name her "Black Sheep" and allowed her to have a childhood, along with keeping her true originals and how she came to be with them a secret. During one of her culture lessons, Shadowsan tells Black Sheep the myth of Japan's birth and since then she begs Shadowsan to retell her the story, but he refused to. Shadowsan's coldness towards Black Sheep resulted in her in disliking Shadowsan, while the kindness from Coach Brunt get her to think that she was the one who found her as a baby.

Years of watching many V.I.L.E. operatives come and go from the island, Black Sheep wanted to join when while Shadowsan wants the opposite. When Black Sheep asks the faculty if they'll allow her to attend their academy, Shadowsan was the only one who is against it and bring up her past pranks as his reason why; but he as still out voted. To keep up appearances, Shadowsan trained Black Sheep in Stealth 101 where she becomes his best student, but shifted the spotlight into Tigress so no one would find Black Sheep's failed exam in his class suspicious. After Black Sheep learned that she had failed to graduate, she confronts Shadowsan and steals his keys to prove her skills. Black Sheep knows that she is the best pick pocket and demands Shadowsan to tell her that the coat was instead empty, but he denies this when he asks her if she is accusing A V.I.L.E. intruder of cheating. Knowing that she can't prove it, Black Sheep decides to sneak off the island instead. This allowed Black Sheep to see the true colors of V.I.L.E. and during her second escape attempt, Shadowsan wanted to join Black Sheep but the draw sword his hand told her a different story.

After she left the island and decide to make the take down of V.I.L.E. her personal mission, she renames herself "Carmen Sandiego". A red clothes thief who steals from V.I.L.E. in order to return the items they stole and to give their money to charities. When Shadowsan was informed of this, he began secretly proud of Carman and decided to buy his time until he is able to join her. Knowing that Carman would want to prove her skills as the best pick pocket to him and Tigress, Shadowsan sends the tiger-themed thief to give Carman that case and manages to do so. She then uses the phone she took from Tigress to smugly ask Shadowsan if she had passed. With the faculty growing anger and anger at Carman and due to the resent discovery of A.C.M.E., Shadowsan knew that it was time for him to join Carman while making the faculty think that he want to personal end Carman with his own hands. Because Coach Brunt wanted to join him, he knew that he'll need to continue in keeping up appearance by kidnapping Chase Devineaux to lure Carman out. Carman was surprised when Shadowsan saved her from Coach Brunt and how he wants to help her escape from the police, she realises that he was the one who found her. Before they parted ways, Shadowsan makes sure that Carman isn't too badly injured, confesses that his coat was empty and how a cold person like him couldn't leave behind an abandon baby; along with him leaving behind a new V.I.L.E. hard drive.

With the question running through her mind since that night, Carman struggles to stay focus on her new capers and there were moments when Carman thinks that she is seeing her former mentor in crowds of people. Player asks Carman if Shadowsan can truly be trusted and isn't trying trick her into dropping her guard.
