shadowed
Kept under surveillance
Shadowed describes something that has a shadow cast upon it, creating darkness or dimness: a shadowed corner of the room, her shadowed eyes.
It also means followed secretly: The detective shadowed him for weeks.
Figuratively, shadowed suggests something darkened by trouble or gloom: a shadowed past, shadowed by grief.
