Dusk Splitmane

Dusk is an earth pony stallion who resides in Seaddle. Until recently, he was an agent for the Shodden Hooves, killing and capturing ponies in the name of the Crown.

Background
Dusk, or Agent Splitmane, had a fairly turbulant foalhood. He lived with his parents in Detrot, but they often traveled abroad, and took him along with them. It was during a trip to Zebrica that the family was captured by a group of fanatics, led by a zebra mare who called herself the Moon Witch. In an attempt to gain power through blood magic, the leader decided to sacrifice the colt Dusk to the moon. This, however, backfired, as the spirits in control of such matters felt it was an insult to offer another to pay such a heavy price involved.

The Moon Witch was killed by her own ritual, and out of spite, transferred the intended powers to the unconscious colt. It was them that Dusk got his half moon cutie mark. After realizing his parents' death at the hooves of the culist, Dusk was forced to find a way back to Equestria, with the assistance of some sympathetic locals. However, he had nowhere else to really turn, and so he was forced to find a way to make it on his own.

It was then that he happened across a traveling circus that doubled as a training ground for new agents in the Shodden Hooves. Oculus, one of the Directors for the Hooves, took in the colt, and eventually decided to train him up as an agent. It was there that Dusk was taught how to fight, how to be sneaky, and how to blend in with crowds; it was also discovered that the pony was heavily infused with lunar magic, causing Dusk to be able to go right through solid objects at will. After several years of traveling in the circus, Dusk was deemed ready to take operations, thanks in part to his abilities. He was assigned to Seaddle, and to help maintain the new safehouse, The Rose and Fetlock.
