Okay, sorry to sort of break part of your theory, but I guess there's also good news?
In some of the new "Collection" lore, Shin Malphur talks to Shaxx about the Drifter. He mentions how the Drifter [i]is not[/i] a Shadow of Yor, but that he has worked with them before. Shin is planning on using the Drifter to draw out the Shadows.
So, he isn't a Shadow, but that means the true Shadows aren't dead! Yay! I don't have links or sources for this, since I haven't read the cards myself and don't plan to till Forsaken, but snoop around on Reddit and you'll find some links.
Also, Duderino? Have you watched RvB? Literally the only place I've ever heard that word.

The Big Lebowski also references “el duderino”. [spoiler]Jeff Bridges voices Shin Malphur confirmed[/spoiler]

<Didn't see that, thanks for letting me know. Also, yes, I have watched RvB, it's one of my favorite web-series. No, it IS my favorite.>

Jesus man, are you like an exact copy of me? You love Destiny's lore, have an affinity for Destiny's soundtracks, and watch RvB. If you enjoy raids, you're literally the same person. Lmao.

<Depends on the raid, as long as it's not Crota's End or with noobs then they can be enjoyable af.>

Well damn. Are you sure you're not a clone? Or am I the clone? [i]Has existential crisis[/i]
