Appearance

Chevalier wears a distinctive silver-and-gold armor and wields a cannonblade - a cross between a two-handed sword and a gun.

Just before the events of the Golden Morning he integrated parts of the Simurgh's wing and Behemoths severed foot into his armor and sword. It is unknown if the armors new black and red coloring are from the addition of these parts or if it was an aesthetic choice by Chevalier.

As a child, he wore makeshift armour and carried a club.<ref name="I24">Interlude 24</ref>

Abilities and Powers

Chevalier has the power to combine the properties of several items into one - selectively taking their attributes into his primary weapons. He can adjust which properties to use on the fly, making his weapons heavier, larger, sharper, etc. when it provides the most benefit. He can enlarge his weapons while they're embedded in something, damaging it.<ref name="I24">Interlude 24</ref>

His power is interfered with by some space-warping effects, such as in the core of an Endbringer<ref>Comment by Wildbow on Reddit</ref><ref name="I24">Interlude 24</ref>, or Foil's power<ref>Comment by Wildbow on Reddit</ref>, causing the individual objects to separate.

His power also grants him the ability to see certain details of other capes' trigger events, or even metaphorical visions of their passengers, as a sort of overlay when he looks at them.<ref name="I24">Interlude 24</ref>

He habitually used a "cannon-blade", constructed by overlaying multiple swords with identical cannons built in; and a suit of armour. Both were specially constructed so that the different versions matched up as much as possible.<ref name="I24">Interlude 24</ref>

According to Glaistig Uaine, Chevalier is the keeper of the "Destroyer" shard.^{[citation needed]}

History

Background

Chevalier triggered during a car crash as a kid, and he found out later his brother was kidnapped during the confusion; the crash had been deliberately set up by a kidnapping ring called the "Snatchers". Three years later, he heard about the group again, and was almost given the codename "Relentless" for the way in which he pursued them. After taking them down, he was recruited into the Inaugral Wards Team team by Alexandria. He became friends with Hannah, even having a short high-school relationship before they drifted apart, both being too busy.<ref name="I24">Interlude 24</ref>

Story Start

He is first mentioned in Interlude 5, where Newter mentions him as leader of the Philadelphia Protectorate. He finally appears in Extermination 8.1, where he is gathered for the Endbringer attack on Brockton Bay.

Post-Echidna

As the leader of the Protectorate, he participated in the Battle against Behemoth, personally entering single combat against Behemoth with the help of Usher's power.<ref name="I24">Interlude 24</ref>
