I finally found the bio of him that I was looking for! It was originally for an RP called Arcane Arena. (Ironic, isn't it?)

Name: Mat Kuii (pronounced koo- eee) "Shadow Wolf" (the reason for the nickname is explained in the bio)

Race: He is mainly human, but he has a small sliver of Olnuyan shade in him. A Olnuyan shade is a creature realesed from the realms of the Immortals during the Immortals war. They are creatures of stealth and treachery. His small amount of shade blood gives him the uncanny ability to blend into the shadows. Sometimes, in great need, he manages to turn completely invisible, but very rarely. He also has a barrier that blocks all thoughts of the cost of the people he has killed- a valuable trait in an assassin, for he never thinks of who he has killed, and doesn't feel the usual guilt people encounter. This too is caused by shade blood. He can also summon shadow beings that take on their own personality and fight with him. He can only summon one at a time. He also has a natural power over obsidian and ravens. He can strengthen obsidian and raven feathers, and control ravens. (also because of his shade blood)

Age: 24

Description: Mat is 5'8 and 164 pounds. Mat is not very muscular, and is quite small, although he possesses a much greater amount of strength than you would assume on first sight. He has blue-green eyes that are as hard as ice, but always hide a small twinkle of mischief. His hair is jet black, and is the common length of a Olnuyan- down to his shoulders. He usually wears it in a braid or ponytail down the back of his neck- it gives him an aristocratic look that a man of his proffessions needs. Being a hardened assassin and thief, Mat has many scars. His most prominent scar is on his left cheek, from temple to jaw. He wears the common clothes of a Olnuyan lord, although he was a peasant- he stole them. His clothes have many secret pockets. Mat's shirt is black Olnuyan silk- a compound that when padded tightly forms an armor almost as strong as metal plate. He also has another silk tunic that has metal rings sewn onto it, strengthening it greatly. He doesn't like to wear the second tunic because the rings add a very large amount of weight. His pants are also silk, but they are not padded, for the tunic goes down to his knees. He wears a light belt that holds his main weapon. His boots he had specially made- their soles are a soft fabric and mask his footsteps. Mat often wears several silver braces on his arms. They are silver with black obsidian inlayed.

Personality: Mat is very mischeivous, and despite his hard looks he isn't cruel- just sharp around the edges. He is very laid back and easy going, suprisingly. If Mat is given a job, he will take his time about it and do it patiently and carefully- his jobs never leave any mess because of this. He has a sharp tongue, and easily gets exasperated. He is used to being in command. If he is put under someone else's command in a small group, when the party returns, Mat has often asserted his authority over the others. If the leader of the group refuses to yield authority, he has a mysterious accident. Mat loves the wind, and in many ways he is alot like it. He is a bit of a free spirit, often disapearing for a time, then reappearing when he is needed. He is usually gentle, but when given a purpose, he immediately hardens up and gets to work.

Abilities: Like I mentioned earlier, because of his shade blood, he can summon up a single shadow creature. The shadow creatures have different personalities, and they all have a name. His favorite is Moira, a free spirit that is alot like him. There is a total of 4 shadow creatures he can summon- Moira- a free spirit who lifts the burdens of life from Mat's shoulder's (not literally), Hamiathes- a cold and ruthless shadow creature who aids Mat when in a tight spot by picking off some of his enemies, Oplo- a kind and gentle shadow creature who often brings gifts to aid Mat, and Poy- a powerful being that is a last resort- he kills everything nearby, and if Mat isn't careful Mat too. He can also manipulate the shadows, forming them into objects and controling them with his mind. He is used to fighting in the Underground parts of the city, so he is more comfortable fighting in closed spaces. And, like I said earlier, he can blend into the shadows and sometimes, in great need, he manages to turn completely invisible.

Weapons/Equipment: Mat uses mainly knives. All 7 of his knives are a black tinted steel, with a silver hilt. Other than that they aren't ornate. He wears one at his waist, one in each boot, one at each wrist, one on his left thigh, one on his rightfore-arm, and one on his back at the nape of his neck. He also wears a watersteel blade at his waist. Watersteel is a folded blade consisting of light and dark steel. It looks like there are waves running across the surface of it because of the folded layers. It is strong enough to break normal steel (or even silver) weapons like toothpicks. His armor is his silk tunic, which, like I said is made of a strong silk that when padded together is almost as strong as metal plate. He sometimes wears a tunic with metal rings sewn on. Mat's silver and obsidian braces protect his arms very well because of his shade blood. He also has a bow that is a sturdy wood called Ruhl. It is black tinted, and the arrows are fletched with raven feathers. The raven feathers are very accurate because of his shade blood. Usually, raven feathers are useless for fletching, but (again) because of his shade blood they aren't.

Biography: Mat was abandoned at an early age. He grew up in the underground world, quickly rising in recognition as a thief prodgidy. Most thieves go under an alias given to them by their thieving friends. He was at first called Shadow, because of his powers over shadows. When he was introduced to assassination, his wolflike way of unnerving the prey before killing it gave him the name "Shadow Wolf." When he was 12 he was introduced to sabotauge, and at 15 was taught the ways of an assassin. When he was 19 he earned the title "Theif King." The Thief King isn't really king of the thieves. He's just the most respected thief. He gains some control over other groups of thieves, but respect from them all. There are many competitors for the postion, but Mat has managed to hold it for record time- 5 years. His own group of theives was three men- Marik, Claw, and Jarl.

After a particularly successful assassination, Mat's rival, Shard (named for the cuts made by a glass window on his face) did something against the thieves code- he told the authorities. Olnuyan thieves, although they are lawless in some ways, have a very strict code. The number one rule is "Never turn in another thief." Shard disobeyed this rule and spilled the location of Mat's next assassination. Mat, running from the gaurds, had gone to the only place he knew was safe- the sorceress Sheel. Shard had also turned in the location of the Inn where Mat and the rest of the thieves stayed, and the thieves were reduced to ruin, many of them caught. Mat knew of this and knew he had nothing left in Olnuy, so he accepted. Sheel said that it was likely he'd never be able to get back, but Mat didn't care. Sheel had no control over where she sent Mat. After a wild journey, Mat had arrived at the Arcane Arena.

I have to agree with GC here.
