Upon building his school, Hermit held a competition to find the one he deems worthy to be taught with his secret power.

Widow's "bodyguards" are mainly composed of men who have been charmed. The only exception is Puma, a woman who serves Widow to help her achieve her ambitions. Most bodyguards attack Shadow in an attempt to eliminate the competition, because they are mistaken in the belief that Shadow desires Widow as they do; since he merely wants to obtain her Demon Seal, and has no interest in her whatsoever. After being defeated by Shadow, they are released from Widow's spell.
Shogun is a military warlord, all of his bodyguards are officers from his army. They mistakenly recognize Shadow as "The Prince," who ruled the Empire before Shogun.
Titan's bodyguards were warriors who came from another world, a parallel universe. They shared similar traits with Shadow and like him, were able to survive the most powerful emission of shadow energy and pass through the Gates Of Shadows alive. However, unlike him, they did not have a strong enough will power to control it and ended up getting corrupted by the energy and becoming enslaved to Titan. They boast of having defeated the demon bosses in the other worlds and taking over what belonged to them (with the exception of Widow). Titan pits them against Shadow to show him what he could become if he allows shadow energy to possess him. Like Shadow, they gained the ability to walk between the worlds after they survived from the Gates Of Shadows.
