• The mercenary Shadow is identified as an Assassin, but is never directly called a Ninja (despite his suggestive black outfit, complete with hood and facemask).

Shadow can throw an assortment of throwing stars, as well as any of the party's unused weaponry. In addition, there are items in Final Fantasy VI called "Skeans," which, when thrown by Shadow, emulate elemental/effect spells - Fire, Inviz, Water and Bolt are the different flavors of Skeans - that seem to be an homage to Edge's repertoire of unique magics.
