Shane Wiigwaas isn't just a new face; he's a defense attorney from the Glass River First Nation, driven by a fierce belief in restorative justice. His tragic backstory involves a quest for truth after his cousin was wrongly imprisoned, caught in a mysterious black fog that also swallowed investigator Jake Park. Shane followed that perilous trail, only to vanish himself into the Entity's realm.
