Overall summary of the Shadow Guard :
Very little is known about the origins of the Shadow guard, they are stealthy and vicious troop who received their orders directly from the Emperor himself like the Royal Guard. They were mostly sent to hunt down Jedi and other force sensitive individuals, but their main job was to protect. Emperor Plapatine. Some believe that the Shadow Guards were former Jedi who were converted to serve the Emperor, but this was only a tale.

The Shadow Guards in the Force Unleashed
During the Events of The Force Unleashed in 2 BBY a singular Shadow Guard along with a task force of Imerpial Navy Commandos was sent to a bar on Nar Shaddaa to Eliminate Starkiller and Rahm Kota, this Shadow Guard was killed when Starkiller used Force Maelstrom to throw him out of the bar. Later 4 Shadow Guards and a group of Stromtroopers were sent to Cloud City to once again Eliminate Starkiller and Rahm Kota all of which were killed. Another Shadow Guard was on Kashyyyk when Starkiller was attempting to reach the Imperial Skyhook but was killed when he was impaled by his own Lightsaber pike. Another was killed on Raxus Prime when Starkiller threw him into the ore Cannon. The final Guard we know of in the Force Unleashed was stationed on the Death star and was the last line of defense before Starkiller could reach Plapatine and Vader he was backed up by 4 Royal Guards and was later killed when Starkiller broke his neck.
