Nekki pulled out the alternate universe story with Titan's bodyguards, but did a poor job in explaining it. Leading many people to speculate who or what these people are, who claimed to have killed the demons with ease.

And there's no limit in what differs in these different world; Marcus may be a corrupt General with no sense of loyalty, June could be a criminal, Itu probably a ninja girl wielding a whip. Back to topic, these Shadows from these different universes differ in their will; much weaker willpower than the Shadow we all know.

Shadow we played as: Fight the demons to close the Gates. Shadow from alternate universe: Fight a demon for glory and to claim their possession. Blame their weak will which got tempted easily.

Each bodyguard mirrors Shadow's encounter with a demon from each Act, and how the story plays out differently in the end. Now, to summarize what each Shadow had gone through:


 * 1) Shadow killed Lynx. Instead of taking Blue Seal, he took over The Order and killed Sensei and May because they keep telling him to buy gems . "Now I'm in order!", nice pun right there. He became Assassin.
 * 2) Shadow killed Hermit. Instead of taking Green Seal, he proceeded to built a school using what he learned from Hermit. He became very arrogant, as he is implied to had refused to teach anyone unless they're really, really talented and powerful. He became Master.
 * 3) Shadow killed Butcher. Instead of taking Red Seal, he took all Butcher's childrens with him, claimed to be their saviour, where he taught them even more brutality. He became Guru.
 * 4) Shadow killed Wasp. Instead of taking Purple Seal, he took Wasp's fleet and turned into a blood-thirsty pirate. He became Corsair.
 * 5) Shadow met Widow, fall in love with her, and ended up becoming her toy.
 * 6) Shadow killed Shogun. Instead of taking Jade Seal, he used the opportunity of mistaken identity to claim the throne from Shogun. He became Emperor.

As you can see, these Shadows are too weak-willed to resist the temptation of glory that they can obtain after defeating the demons. That part about Widow is a headcanon of mine. You can overpower any demons with brute force or mastery in combat, but not Widow. She has this magic which will turns any men to be infatuated to her. So far, only Shadow who was not affected by Widow's charm magic at all. My theory is because Shadow's will is very strong. If he could resist the shadow energy, Widow's charm is nothing for Shadow. Unfortunately, that might not be the case with that Shadow in alternate Act 5 universe xD

Hope that's not too long... it's too long, isn't it?
