Shadowspire

Shadowspire is a criminal organization run by Baron Reiter, using U.S. Special Forces during the Afghan War as a cover.

History
During the Afghan War, Lieutenant Joyner made an attempt to recruit John and Andy Diggle. Andy initially declined but ultimately joined their organization. Joyner praised Andy to Baron Reiter and Reiter gave Andy a bonus. Reiter then told Andy of a Lian Yu - place of immeasurable power.

Reiter found his way to Lian Yu, bringing with him men and slaves, cultivating Slam. Eventually, Oliver Queen found himself back on the island and infiltrated their organization.

In 2013, Shadowspire was taken down in an operation run by Alan Chang.
