Description
-----------
Quoting Novalia Spirit:

"As everybody knows, the first time you step foot into South Figaro, 
you normally see Shadow walk towards the Cafe. As expected, in the 
case you follow him into the building, he'll be there. It is once 
Vargas is killed that Shadow disappears from the Cafe.

Now here's the bug: ignore South Figaro till you beat Vargas. 
Retrace your steps to South Figaro, and you will, here again, 
see Shadow walk towards the Cafe. BUT, he won't be in it.
And there's even worse: if you ignore the scene until you play Locke's 
scenario, Shadow'll be stuck behind the guard and the M-TekArmor 
sprites by the town's entrance. Note that going into a building 
will destroy your chances of seeing the bug occur, so you MUST 
beat the HeavyArmor as you make your way to Shadow."

To fix the bug, an additional check is made in South Figaro entrance
event. If Vargas is beaten or you saw Shadow walk in town, Shadow NPC
is not created and its movement queue not executed.
