| ~ Darkblade |
Darkblade is an akumatized villain in Miraculous: Tales of Ladybug and Cat Noir and the akumatized form of Armand D'Argencourt.
Appearance[]
Darkblade wears a full suit of dark gray armor, some parts of it having lighter gray with dark gray stripes. The visor on his helmet has four red leaf-shaped marks, and the helmet's comb is large and red, its shape a bit zigzagged. The besagues have red curled outlined designs on them, and on the center of the breastplate, there is a red family crest design with a black outline and a black phoenix-like creature inside. His couter and poleyns and pointed, and the end of the sabatons are pointed. His sword is large, with a silver and dark gray striped hilt and a dark gray blade with red lines making a design on each side. At the middle of the cross-guard, there is the same family crest symbol as the breastplate, except with inverted colors. It glows when it is shooting energy.
Personality[]
As Darkblade, he is commanding and obsessed with conquering Paris. Power-hungry and enraged with the current government system, Darkblade wants to take over the country his ancestors lost centuries before, and he has nothing against turning everyone into knights that will follow him to victory.
Powers and Abilities[]
Darkblade is able to create energy from the shield symbol in the middle of the cross-guard of his sword and shoot it into people's eyes. His victims kneel down, and then he touches their left and right shoulder with his sword as a way of knighting them. After that, the victims glow bright green and transform into knights wearing dark gray armor with bright green designs on their epaulets and helmets. Each knight carries a dark gray and neon green battle axe, the blade being green with a black design and the handle having the family crest of Darkblade where it's connected with the blade. All of the knights are in full armor and have the same size, height, and attitude regardless of their previous proportions or personalities. Under Darkblade's control, the knights follow his orders and do any action he requires of them. Darkblade can also transform a vehicle, with the same process that he uses for his knights, into an old-fashioned catapult. He also has improved swordfighting abilities, and he still likes to use the Darkblade technique.
Additionally, if Darkblade manages to plant his family's flag on top of the City Hall, a dark cloud spreads over Paris. After the cloud stops expanding, it creates a circular black barrier on the extremity that shrinks inwards, turning everyone it passes through into his knights. They will glow dark green and stand up when struck. The knights will begin marching to him, awaiting instructions.
