Editing Chevalier (section)

==Personality==
Chevalier is driven and focused, able to serve as an inspiration to others in his determination to save people as a hero.<ref name="Tarot">The Chariot<br>"Upright: Control, willpower, victory, assertion, determination<br>Reversed: Lack of control and direction, aggression"<br><br>Chevalier<br><br>'''He overcame his rage and his quest for vengeance as a youth and became a hero, perhaps the one most definitive of determination, willpower and strength.''' - [https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1ntXwQcmkioq4NPPayBEIjA4dHPD-TXpjU1bnul3udWg/edit#gid=0 Major Arcana], bolded addition by Wildbow.</ref>

This drive could get him into trouble at times.<ref name="28E0"/> An alternate version of him would have continued an assault to accomplish an objective regardless of casualties. Chevalier in the timeline that substantiated actually cares.<ref>“We’ll need our Black Knight, Hannah,” Partisan said. “We bait them into a fight, then sic him on them. He’ll be able to win as long as it’s parahumans he’s fighting. Colin’s squad flanks and infiltrates, my squad scouts and Clarent maintains a defensive line.”<br><br>“And if these superweapons attack while our forces are elsewhere?”<br><br>“They aren’t attacking. They’re just… ''there''.”<br><br>“But if they do attack? If they’re there for this exact eventuality?” the gunwoman asked.<br><br>“We’ll push on, striking for the Shepherd’s headquarters, and the rest hold out.”<br><br>“It’s reckless.”<br><br>“It’s the only option. We’ve got two of the strongest parahumans around on our side,” Partisan said, his voice a little louder. - [https://parahumans.wordpress.com/2013/10/12/interlude-29/ Excerpt] from [[Interlude 29]]</ref> His difference from this planned version can be attributed to his time in the Wards, among other developments.<ref name="15.z">We’ll also create a sub-group for minors with powers, so we can strictly structure their environment and development. - [https://parahumans.wordpress.com/2012/11/08 Excerpt] from [[Interlude 15.z]]</ref> He was willing to credit [[Weaver]] with the maneuver that turned the tide against Echidna, showcasing a reasonable humble side.<ref> - [https://parahumans.wordpress.com/2013/05/30 Excerpt] from [[Drone 23.3]]</ref> He was also willing to extend second chances to others as he and many of his colleagues had been beneficiaries of such.

===Relationships===
====[[Alexandria]]====
Alexandria had a major influence on him when he was a child.<ref name="I24 e4">Chevalier felt strangely calm as he spoke, “Not like that. Alexandria caught up with me at the very end. When I was trying to decide what I’d do with him. She told me she’d stand by and let me kill the guy, if I really had to, but I’d go to jail afterwards. That, or I could come with her. Come ''here''.”<br><br>Hero frowned, glancing at Alexandria, who had gathered at one corner of the room with Eidolon and Legend. They were looking at the kids, talking, smiling. “I’m glad you made the right choice.”<br><br>Chevalier shrugged. ''I’m not sure I did.''<br><br>He was still angry. Still hurt. His little brother’s absence was still a void in his life. - [https://parahumans.wordpress.com/2013/06/22/interlude-24/ Excerpt] from [[Interlude 24.x]]</ref> Thanks to her he took his first steps in overcoming his anger over his brother's loss.

Due to his [[thinker]] power, Chevalier was aware of Alexandria's secret identity as Rebecca Costa-Brown.<ref>Fridge logic moment about Chevalier:<br>He has the ability to determine on sight whether someone is a parahuman (and based on the glimmers he sees, could reasonably determine who someone is, even when disguised), and was the head of the Philadelphia branch of the Protectorate.<br><br>Did he actually never come in contact with Rebecca Costa-Brown, or was he in on the secret of Alexandria being in charge of the PRT?<br><br>Wildbow: He was effectively in on quite a few secrets, such as Keene. - [https://parahumans.wordpress.com/2013/06/22/interlude-24/#comment-29491 Comment] by [[Wildbow]]</ref>

====[[Myrddin]]====
Was good friends with Myrddin, having a running dialogue over issues of faith.<ref name="I28E1">“I believe it,” Chevalier said. “But the cynic-believer relationship, that was something Myrddin and I joked about. Word for word, your quip just now, you borrowed that from the files.” - [https://parahumans.wordpress.com/2013/09/17/interlude-28/ Excerpt] from [[Interlude 28]]</ref> Their association was encouraged by the [[PRT]]<ref name="C-PRT"/>

====[[Colin Wallis|Armsmaster]]====
Was an old friend of Armsmaster and was willing to give him another chance as Defiant.

====[[Miss Militia]]====
Served with Miss Militia in the inaugural wards team,<ref name="I24"/> briefly dated when they were younger.<ref name=lurve/> <!--

*A version of Chevalier appeared in [[Eden|Eden's]] [[List of Possible Futures|vision of the future]]; a hero named Partisan, who wielded a longsword and grew stronger over time. He was identified as Chevalier in the tags.<ref> - [https://parahumans.wordpress.com/2013/10/12/interlude-29/ Excerpt] from [[Interlude 29]]</ref>

*In Fortuna's interlude, a version of Colin is glimpsed in an [[List of Possible Futures |alternate reality]]. There, he is known as Arsenal. He wields a gisarme and works closely with someone named Richter (presumably that reality's version of [[Andrew Richter]]).

====[[Narwhal]]====
She considered him to be too soft,<ref name="I28E2">“Let me go, and I’ll be good.”<br><br>Chevalier glanced at Narwhal.<br><br>"You’re too soft,” Narwhal said.<br>“You wouldn’t?”<br>“I would, but I still think you’re too soft.” - [https://parahumans.wordpress.com/2013/09/17 Excerpt] from [[Interlude 28]] </ref>it is unknown how they usually interacted.

===Reputation===
Prior to assuming command of the protectorate Chevalier was considered one of the top heroes in the organization,<ref name="SBWoh"> Parahumans IRC said:<br>Wildbow: Armsmaster appears in the posters and such of the top Protectorate heroes.<br>Wildbow:When they do the image of everyone standing in a 'v' formation<br>Parahumans IRC said:<br>Wildbow: Nah. Legend in front, Alex and Eidolon to the left and right, respectively. Then Myrddin, Chev, Cinereal, Narwhal, Rime, Exalt, Armsmaster, Dragon suit silhouette in the background, wings echoing the wings of the PRT logo over their heads. - [https://forums.spacebattles.com/posts/21173580/ IRC conversation archived on Spacebattles]</ref> as such people regularly deferred to him during a crisis if more well-known heroes were not present.
