Alliance of Shades

The Alliance of Shades was an organisation created to hide alien activities on primitive planets such as Earth. They used android agents, known as the Men in Black, to remove any signs of alien activities, including any witnesses.

History
In 1958, four of the Alliance's androids, including Mister Dread, were obtained by Lord Azlok and were sent to find Rivesh Mantilax and his weapon. They were damaged by Night Eagle and his tribe, though Mister Dread was later repaired.

In 1972, the Alliance discontinued most of their robotic agents. (DW: Dreamland)

Since the 1970s, the Alliance kept three of the agents, including Dread, to defend a hyperdimensional vault in which many of the items they covered up were kept. (SJA: The Vault of Secrets)
