Luc
And now, time for a couple villains!
The Black Knight
Real name: Unknown (Forgotten through history)
Age: Immortal (Current age unknown, assumed several centuries old)
Sex: Male
Alignment: Villain
Affiliations: None
Nemesis: The Arthurian
Powers/Skills: Superhuman strength and durability, capable of summoning demonic spirits, skilled swordsman and brilliant tactician.
Weapon(s): A ceremonial sword stolen from the former ruler of New Camelot’s underworld, rarely used as an actual weapon as the Black Knight typically fights with his bare hands.
In the world of New Camelot, many men have held the title of “The Black Knight” throughout history, though none have been more feared than the current Black Knight. He had once served as a respected knight of the round table, but was banished to their world’s hell after some form of betrayal against King Arthur, and his true identity was lost to history…
However, many centuries after his banishment, he stepped into the mortal realm once more, transformed now into a vengeful hell spawn. The Black Knight claimed to have fought his way back from the underworld and finally became free after overthrowing and slaying its demonic ruler to claim the underworld as his own kingdom. None believed him, until he brandished the sword stolen from the former lord of hell. Over time he became Camelot’s new greatest enemy, at one point even managing to level the original Camelot with his demonic armies and force the city to rebuild as New Camelot. However, every time he attempted to fully destroy Arthur’s kingdom, the sword Excalibur constantly stood in his way…
When the legendary blade was handed to Gwendolyn and she was sent off to another world, the Black Knight soon saw his chance to crush New Camelot for good, and began another full scale attack on the rebuilt capital. However his efforts were thwarted once more as Gwendolyn simply returned to her own world to drive him off just as Arthur once did. Seeing that even from another world Excalibur could still get in his way, he instead hatched a new plan… He would follow Gwendolyn back to our world where she would no longer have New Camelot’s army backing her, and attempt to either eliminate her and steal Excalibur so that no one would be able to use it and stop him from destroying New Camelot and having his revenge on Arthur for his banishment…
After being in our world for so long however, the Black Knight’s goals have begun to shift from simply destroying New Camelot, to turning both worlds into part of his own demonic empire…
