About Shamus
Shamus the cat is an ancient creature, measuring his life in eons not years, from parts unknown in a dimension adjacent to our own. While not omnipotent, and answering to a mysterious power even beyond his own imagination, Shamus is a creature of immense power, power not fully revealed to any human observer.
