History
Shin and her partner Lin escort a survivor to Vicious, then receive the order to find and kill the man known as Fearless. The two shadow their boss through botched assassinations, chocolate errands for Julia, and a bloody purge of the Red Eye works.
They guard the Neptune Cartel talks and later flicker into the finale as holograms meant to fool Jet and Spike. When Spike fights his way up the cathedral, Shin springs on him where the stairs end, and he kills her at once.
