Official Description

"Some say that Shahdee was created in the Empress' own image. Like everything else on the island, she exists to serve the Empress of Time. But, unlike the rest of the Sand Creatures, she enjoys a small degree of autonomy, functioning as the Empress' second in command. Nevertheless, the Empress is not the kindest of masters, and Shahdee has suffered years of terrible abuse at her hands. Over time, she has come to hate her maker, secretly devising ways to either escape the island or kill the Empress. She's just waiting for the right opportunity to present itself."

—Official Booklet description

Biography

Shahdee is charged with the duty of ensuring that the Prince does not reach the Island of Time. Shadee departs with the knowledge that the Empress will kill her if she fails in this mission, showing that she'll do everything in her power to ensure the Prince does not reach his destination.

Shahdee and her crew of sand Raiders attack the Prince's ship during a terrible storm at sea. While visibility is low, the massive attacking ship boards and sets fire to the Prince's sinking vessel. Mercilessly, the sand demons slaughtered the Prince's crew and Shahdee beats the Prince in battle, launching him into the ocean with a powerful kick.

However, she fails in her mission to keep the Prince away from the Island and falls into conflict with the Empress of Time. Shahdee chafes under the Empress' rule, and finds her mistress' determination to defy the timeline to be illogical. However Shahdee meets her end at the hands of the Prince, angry for the needless slaughter of his crew. He stabs Shahdee through her torso with Spider Sword and as she bleeds to death and takes her final breaths Shahdee cites that they cannot change their fate.

It is unclear to whom Shahdee's message is for at first, but it is later revealed that the message was intended for the Empress. Shahdee's death remains a form of torment for the Empress, as all is coming as it is said to pass.

Trivia

• In The Two Thrones, Ubisoft reuses Shahdee's fighting animations for Mahasti.
• Given that Shahdee and the Raiders are creatures created from sand, the assumption is that they should be susceptible to water. However, there are several instances wherein Sand Creatures in The Sands of Time and The Two Thrones step into water with no adverse reactions.
  • Another assumption is that the creatures in The Sands of Time and The Two Thrones are merely corrupted humans, hence not "pure" Sand Creatures like the ones found in the Island of Time.
• "Shahdee" is a Persian word meaning "happiness", "joy". The Arabic translation of this word is "Farah". The latter is the name of another character in the series.
