"I can't be your weapon. But I will be your shield."- Shelter
Shelter is a human psion and a playable agent in XCOM: Chimera Squad.
Shelter was separated from his family during the war and sent to a resettlement camp. When he showed signs of psionic potential, he was taken from the camp to an ADVENT research facility for human-born psions, where they forced him to use his abilities to harm others. He ultimately fled their control and joined X-COM.
Shelter has psionic abilities more focused on support and buffing allies, contrasting with Verge's more aggressive psionic abilities. His Relocate ability is also able to help the squad rapidly change positions and can be combined with Torque's Tongue Pull to great effect.

Tactical Advice
- While not shown in the turn order, the Fracture clone shares its initiative with Shelter and take its turn immediately after he does.
- The Fracture clone benefits from whatever Armor Mods Shelter has equipped. Bubble Weave and Regen Weave will enhance its survivability and let it remain active longer.
- Temporal Shift applies to the clone's Relocate as well, so an enemy Relocated by both Shelter and the clone will suffer an additional delay in its turn.
