'''[[Standard Equipment]]:'''
*[https://callofduty.fandom.com/wiki/Shadows_of_Evil#Weapons Full weapon list shown here]
*The Margwa Head
'''[[Intelligence]]:''' '''Unknown''', likely '''Gifted''' (He is the smartest of the Shadows of Evil cast and could learn Dark Magic)
'''Standard Tactics:''' Nero is far more likely to use the Summoning Key then the other Shadows of the Evil cast but he would likely only use it against "universal" threats. But otherwise, The Apocathian Servent and other weapons are in character.
'''Weaknesses:''' He is a sinner and is cursed. He doomed his dimension. Otherwise, Normal Human Weaknesses.
'''Note:''' During the events of Shadows of Evil, none of the characters should scale to the Shadowman's full power. While they can harm him, that was only due to him not being at his full power and the Keepers attacking him as well. He is still massively stronger then the other characters in Shadows of Evil even while weakened as they defeated him via haxs.
