An American Harlequin . Born in 1959 in San Francisco, Shepherd eventually took the name of his famous grandfather. This Norwegian-born Harlequin traveled through Russia and Eastern Europe during World War II. At great risk to his own life, he saved three elderly Travelers and their families from the SS Death's Head units.

Shepherd, the grandson, quickly showed that he was not as ethical as his namesake. He used Harlequin connections in Europe and Asia to smuggle imitation handbags and pirated videos into Los Angeles. Shepherd disappeared in 2005 and there are rumors that he was somehow involved with the death of Thorn in Prague. Internet researcher Nu-Vision believes Shepherd died during the mysterious "electrical fire" that destroyed part of the Evergreen Foundation  research center in Purchase, New York.
