The Shades were a group of hooded figures that lived in the Eldwitch Woods under the command of the "Great Witch" Darklaw. By using robes that rendered them invisible to the inhabitants of Labyrinthia, they used various mechanical devices to create the illusion that magic was real in Labyrinthia.
They are normal inhabitants of Labyrinthia who have been "killed" by their stage magic and were "executed" for witchcraft. When this occurs, the Shades quietly abduct the supposed victim or witch to be taken to their own village. There, they hypnotize the person into a largely personality-less minion of the Great Witch and serve for a term as the engineers of the special effects that generate magic. After their term is up, their old personalties are allowed to return and they return to Labyrinthia as new characters, everyone having been hypnotized to not recognized the returned Shade.
After Maya Fey was convicted of witchcraft for being a spirit medium, the Shades attempted to induct her into their ranks. However, since she was not as brainwashed as most Labyrinthians, she was able to lead Pheonix Wright to their village and save her, at which point Darklaw showed up and ordered the Shades to let them go.
