He is an alchemist with an arsenal of potions at his disposal (healing and restaoratives mostly though he has a brew that temporarely increases his energy, stamina and strenght output).
History:
He was born in a land far away from equestria, a land full of zebras. His mother Bareelith is a commander in the zebras armed forces, she is in charge of the zebras undercover squadron (the zebra black ops. practically). His father Nightcloud is an alchemist who vowed to help any pony in need be it earth pony, pegasus, unicorn or zebra. While growing up Nightshade was taught by his mother the art of sword fighting being a unicorn and moving the sword with his magic he learned pretty quickly. One day while practicing with his mother with actual swords he landed a hit that crippled her.
His father tried to make a broth to heal her, but to his disgrace the only engredient he was missing was the sap from a tree in a far away place called the everfree forest.
Nightcloud sent one of the youngest zebras in under his wife's command to the everfree forest to get the missing ingedient. Feeling it was his fault all that had happened he snuck out at night and went in the zebra's aid.
While on the trip he found out that this specific zebra was a female called Lucia, that they were almost the same age, that she was intrigued by his father's work and that she was more into ponies that zebras. They became very close in the trip and came back a success thanks to his mother's sword fighting lessons when they returned he presented Lucia to his parents as his girlfriend. His father was really angry (and I mean furious) but proud at the same time. Nightshade helped his father make the potion. Finishing that potion was the moment that gave hom his cutie mark.
3 years later he decided to travel back to equestria to use his alchemy for the good of other ponies not just zebras. Lucia officiqlly his wife by now decided to stay behind a few months to help her father in law on a job he was assigned. His father proud that hos son took his alchemy seriously let him go. His mother on the other hand was reluctant, she knew that he could fend for himself but the thought of him being in a land full of ponies uneased her, but since the choice had already been made she let him go.
Right now he lives in the outskirts of ponyville where he set up his lab. He's waiting for the arrival of his wife, travels into the everfree forest constantly (mostly mapping the area to know where the resources he might need are) and is known by most of the ponies in ponyville qnd though he still has the customs from that far away land the other ponies don't seem to mind that and recure to him in cases of minor injuries or the such.
Personality: he's a very closed individual but he has no real problem opening up to others. And he's very friendly though he exhales an aura of indiference.
Cutiemark: a quill, a test tube and a sword crisscrossed in that order.
