{{NecromundaPortal}}The '''Covenant of Shadows''' is a [[House Delaque|Delaque]] [[gang ]] active on [[Necromunda (planet)|Necromunda]]. This group preserves the legacies and reputations of legendary figures from the House’s history, such as [[Yeomag|Yeomag the Eyeless]], the [[Ghost of Gothrul]], and the [[Shiver Twins]].{{Fn|1}}
Members of the Covenant adopt these personas so completely—changing completely — changing their behaviour and even their appearance — such that many believe them to be [[psyker]]s channelling the spirits of the dead. In reality, they are [[Psy-Gheist]]s, individuals deeply connected to the [[Psychoterica]], a realm that allows them to tap into the dormant consciousness of the [[Silent Ones (Gods)|Silent Ones]]. Through this link, they seemingly resurrect the personalities and minds of deceased figures.{{Fn|1}}
However, their connection extends to the Silent Ones themselves—ancient and alien minds whose motives remain unfathomable. When these entities take control of the gang, they instil fear even in the Delaque [[Star Chamber]].{{Fn|1}}
