The League of Shadows are a splinter group of the League of Assassins, led by Shiva. The League was originally thought to be nothing more than a myth created by Ra's al Ghul, to frighten his followers into submission, but in reality they were created by Ra's to stop mankind's course of destroying itself. After learning of Ra's true purpose for the Shadows, Shiva turned them against him and used them for her own path of destruction and power.
At a later point in time, Connor Hawke, the estranged son of Green Arrow, washed up on the shores of an unknown island, where he was rescued by the League of Shadows. They offered him an invitation to join their ranks, as they needed a "champion" to enter the League of Lazarus tournament and bond with the Lazarus Demon. Connor accepted the offer, intending to stop their plan to awaken the demon. The Shadows sent Hawke as their champion of the League of Lazarus tournament and monitored him vigilantly.
