The Shadow Warrior is a mysterious figure who haunts Jack, a being that helps lead other Samurai to their end. He resembles a ghostly black silhouette of an armored samurai with glowing eyes astride a horse, surrounded by an ominous green fog. Up close, he appears to have no visible face and a hangman's noose around his neck. He also has a deep, dark voice.
Background
Very little is known about the mysterious spirit, except that he stalks Jack at various points; it can be noted that he always appears whenever Jack has feelings of intense guilt or doubt in himself.
The Shadow Warrior first appears on the other side of a stream, after Jack hallucinates seeing his parents and multiple corpse-like people. The area becomes black and the rider appears with a ghastly green background, shocking Jack as he glares menacingly at him. The Warrior appears again that night, as Jack is tormented by a hallucination of his Father in flames, after which his signature horse whinny alerts Jack to turn around and see the Shadow again, imprinted on a rock. The next day, in the middle of Jack's battle with the assassin Scaramouch, the spirit appears on a nearby hill, watching Jack's hallucination of the city's slain children.
Later, the Shadow Warrior appears a fourth time as Jack hides inside the parts of a previously destroyed Beetle Drone. As one of Jack's hallucinations of himself pleads with him to "join his ancestors", Jack turns to look through the crack of the Beetle Drone's shell, only to see green mist surrounding the area and the Horseman staring at him. Jack manages to see past the Shadow and his misty fog, therefore finding a temple to seek refuge in.
After being grievously wounded and narrowly escaping from the Daughters of Aku, Jack tries to find shelter in a forest, only to turn around and notice the Shadow Warrior waiting for him. Jack tries to ignore the spectre, but discovers that its mount can move. As Jack continues his search for shelter, the Horseman refuses to be ignored and continues to stalk Jack while still on horseback, never taking his eyes off him.
Inside one of Aku's factories, The Shadow Warrior seemingly claims victory as he notices Jack's grief over the unconscious kidnapped children (who Jack believes to be dead) and speaks to him for the first time, telling Jack "It is time". A broken Jack simply answers "yes" and follows the spirit out of the factory, leaving Ashi and the children alone.
In Episode XCVII, Ashi finds the Shadow Warrior encouraging Jack to commit Seppuku with his ancestors watching. He attacks Ashi when she tries to stop him, but upon hearing the truth about the children, Jack intervenes and duels the Warrior. After a brief fight, Jack vanquishes him and his disappointed ancestors return to their graves.
