Mephiles The Dark

Mephiles is a strange entity resembling Shadow in appearance. The only differences being that what's red for shadow is a pale grayish blue. Eyes are green with slit pupils and he lacks an orifice on his muzzle.

How he came to be in FiE
Chrysalis was Queen of the Changelings, and died in combat from Tails unleashing an incredible amount of power through a magnification ring.

It is stated if the Queen does not produce a successor to the throne, E.G. gives birth to a foal that will ascend the throne, they will take the form of a pod and reincarnate to resume their life from an earlier age and continue to rule the changelings for a second life term. should they die again, a suitable mare will be assimilated to become their new queen if no suitable changeling female is able to ascend to queen status.



When Chrysalis was awaiting her rebirth, Metal and Gilda found themselves near her pod. She was able to hear them talking, the name Shadow sticking to her mind as images of her death flashed before her eyes. Her changeling cells altered and shifted until she came out as a He, looking just like Shadow save for minor differences. The only trait from the life he had as Chrysalis being the green eyes.

Now no longer a changeling, he travels with Metal Sonic and Gilda, since they were the ones who found him.

Team Chaos
Shortly after hatching he found himself unable to remember most of who he used to be. Upon mentioning an anger he felt at the mention of Shadow's name, he was recruited by Gilda and Metal Sonic and was given the name Mephiles by Gilda.

Trivia

 * Gilda stated that Mephiles is the griffon word for Darkness. Making his full name quite redundant.
 * The fact that he and Chrysalis have the same eyes wasn't discovered until after the chapter where he was born was written. Making the connection purely coincidental
