A Gray Man is a type of shadowspawn, formerly a human being. They are gray in appearance and difficult to notice, and they function as assassins.
Overview[]
Gray Men are created by Moghedien, who is the only Forsaken who makes them. They are humans whose soul has been removed from their body. The creation of a Gray Man seems to require the consent of the individual.
