THat said, I can't really think of a good "shadow subclass" for Fighter off the top of my head anyway, so it's an interesting challenge in its own right. Hrm.
Maybe a Black Knight type figure, along the lines of what Kas the bloody handed would have been?

The sorrows and fears of your foes stain your armor black granting undead type abilities? I created an Accursed Fighter archetype meant to be modular with a regular subclass (if you picked up your curse later or had it broken). you can find it here or here (free version) if you want some inspiration.
