History: Marcus Lereaux was a brilliant scientist for NASA Orleans Control. After being approached to head a deep space exploration team to find a renewable source of energy for Earth, Lereaux jumped at the chance. Six months into the mission, Lereaux and his team encountered a derelict alien spaceship. Onboard, they discovered a stone that was pulsating with an immeasurable energy.

Upon return to earth, Lereaux immediately began to investigate the source of the stone’s energy and learned that it was dark matter energy. Elsewhere, Master Midnight, the undisputed kingpin of crime, learned of Lereaux’s discovery and sent his cyborg henchman, Steelgrip to retrieve the stone. A fight for possession of the stone ensued between Lereaux and Steelgrip, which in turn shattered the stone. Steelgrip, then teleported out of danger. A massive energy wave ripped through the complex, destroying much of the building. The energy also sought out a new host and passed into Lereaux, transforming him into a living shadow. Lereaux fell into a nexus, a point in between light and shadow. There he met the alien prince, G’Kar who informed Lereaux that he had been chosen to receive the power of the stone and to become the last Shadow Runner.

The Shadow Runners were a group of warriors from the planet Shaddix who were sworn to protect the power of the stone at all costs.
