actually quite successful, and eventually gained noteriety as the Shadow Bandits. Unfortunately for them, however, the Garlean Empire caught on to their trail, and set up an ambush at one heist
spot... the ambush succeeded, mortally wounding Baram and severely injuring Clyde. When Baram asked Clyde to off him so the empire wouldn't get him, however... Clyde couldn't do it, instead
leaving Baram to his unknown fate.
