In the TV series LEXX, the fictional character His Divine Shadow is the absolute ruler of the Divine Order and the League of 20,000 Planets. He ruled with extreme authority, from The Cluster, acting as a religious figurehead, as well as the supreme military commander. He was not strictly human, but rather the last surviving member of the Insect Civilization, parasitically passing his essence to a new human host when the former host could no longer serve. The former host's brain would then be removed, and it became a Divine Predecessor, a much revered advisor. His Shadow (correctly) assumed that he would be more successful in wiping out humanity by getting it to destroy itself. His ultimate creation, the Gigashadow, would allow him to personally wipe out all opposition.
His Shadow's Order was destroyed by Kai, Last of the Brunnen-G, as foretold by the Time Prophet, but not before a part of his essence was transferred to Kai, who later passed it on to Mantrid.
Walter Borden played the dying His Shadow in the first LEXX movie, I Worship His Shadow, and provided the voice of His Divine Shadow throughout the rest of the movies/Season 1, and in the Season 2 episode "Brigadoom."Template:Sf-stub
