Personality

Amy claims that the personality traits of the original Chevalier are present in the Gibborim Knight and that he wants to protect and take care of people.<ref>Narwhal’s response had been loud enough that the microphone apparently caught it, because Amy responded. “Essential traces of the person he was are still intact. Chevalier wanted to take care of people, protect, hold the line. So does the Gibborim Knight. That’s all he wants.” - Excerpt from Sundown 17.5</ref>

Appearance

The Gibborim Knight is a giant man, with gray skin and brutish features. Several versions of himself overlap him, each slightly different from the other.<ref>I saw, on the big screens at the far end of the room, a giant of a man with gray skin and brutish features, holding the torn-off top of a car in one hand. It looked less like a distinct image, and more like the faces one might see reflected in a window at night. Shadows and glimpses, overlapping.

He turned, head roving as he checked his direction. Heads, plural, as he refracted, each head looking in a different direction. The refracting carried down to the armor he wore, showing off different aesthetics. - Excerpt from Sundown 17.4</ref>

Abilities and Powers

The Gibborim Knight has abilities similar to Chevalier, but scaled up. He exists in multiple dimensions at once and has enough brute strength to rip cars and infrastructure apart. He is capable of creating armor and weapons similar to Chevalier by combining various items together.

History

Post-Attack on Teacher

The Gibborim Knight was the first shard-clone created by Amy and Chris as part of the Shin Defense Initiative.

He was tasked with taking on the Machine Army and began making his way towards them through The City. Kronos moved to intercept him, and attacked him.

After suffering some beating, he was replaced in the task by The Mother of Mothers.<ref>Sundown 17.6</ref>
