History
When Shulk was young, he was killed along with his parents during the Monado Expedition. Shulk was revived by the God Zanza and raised by Dickson. When Shulk was 18, Mechon attacked his hometown of Colony 9. After the Mechon known as Metal Face kills his childhood friend Fiora, Shulk and his best friend Reyn set out to exact revenge on the Mechon. Little did Shulk know, that setting out on this mission would change the entire universe...
