The Roaring Knight

General information

Real name: unknown.

Title: Roaring Knight.

Role: The mysterious creator of the Dark Fountains.

Among the inhabitants of the Dark Worlds, there are many legends about a mysterious knight who appears out of nowhere, opens new Dark Fountains, and then disappears just as suddenly.

Nobody knows who he really is.

Some consider him an ordinary Light One who has acquired extraordinary abilities. Others are certain he never belonged to the Light Ones' world.

But one thing is certain: he is the one behind the emergence of most of the Dark Worlds.

Appearance

A tall figure hidden under a long black cloak.

The knight's face is invisible beneath his massive helmet. His armor is covered in numerous scratches, as if he had fought in countless battles.

When moving, the metal plates of his armor produce a dull roar, which is where he gets his name.

In his hands, the knight holds a long sword capable of creating Dark Fountains.

Character

The Roaring Knight almost never speaks.

He acts calmly, confidently and always looks as if he knows the outcome of any event in advance.

It is impossible to call him cruel.

But no one considers him merciful either.

He rarely intervenes directly in what is happening, preferring to watch events unfold from the sidelines.

Capabilities

Creation of Dark Fountains.

The knight's main ability is opening new passages to the Dark Worlds.

Masterful swordsmanship.

Rumor has it that no opponent has ever managed to defeat him in a fair fight.

Incredible endurance.

He is able to remain in the Dark Worlds for a long time without any consequences.

Secrecy.

The knight appears and disappears so unexpectedly that many doubt whether he ever existed.

Role in the hospital's Dark World

At first glance, it may seem that the Roaring Knight has nothing to do with the events in the hospital.

However, some facts cast doubt on this.

A new Dark Fountain appeared early in the morning.

Noel

Perhaps he had already heard of Doctor Zero.
Or even met him before.
Relationships between the characters
Chris and Susie
Best friends. Despite constant bickering and completely different personalities, they work well as a team.
Noel and Susie
Noel is still a little afraid of Susie, although she has long since begun to trust her.
Noel and Chris
Noel feels safe around Chris and often turns to him for support.
Ralsei and Chris
Ralsei trusts Chris more than anyone else, although he sometimes keeps some secrets from him.
The new Dark World turned out to be completely different from the previous ones.
