He later became leader of the Protectorate after Legend stepped down.

Personality

Driven focused, was willing to credit Weaver with the maneuver that turned the tide against Echidna.

Relationships

Was good friends with Myrddin.

Narwhal considered him to be too soft.

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 armor and carried a club.<ref name="I24">Interlude 24</ref>

Powers and Equipment

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="cast">Chevalier – A major member of the Protectorate, heading the Philadelphia branch. Wears an ornate suit of knight’s armor and carries a trademark cannonblade, which is both a bastard sword and a gun. His power lets him grow and/or condense his gear, rendering it larger or more durable, while he ignores any alterations in weight or scale.---Basic Cast Page</ref> <ref name="I24"/>

His power is interfered with by some space-warping effects, such as in the core of an Endbringer<ref name="I24">Interlude 24</ref>, or Foil's power,<ref name="R1">Using her power on Chevalier's sword would have broken it, like the space warping around the Endbringer core did.--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"/>

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

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 relationship in high-school before they drifted apart, both being becoming too busy.<ref name="I24"/>

He was a regular attendee of Enbringer attacks

Chevalier and Myrddin encountered Faultline’s Crew, according the Newter they were beaten by the mercenaries.<ref name="I5">“And you beat them,” the dark haired girl said, disbelieving.

“We didn’t lose!” Newter crowed.

“It was a close call,” Gregor added his own two cents. “Chevalier is leader of Protectorate in Philadelphia. Myrddin leads Protectorate of Chicago. These are people whole world recognizes. They got positions protecting big cities in America because they are strong, because they are smart and talented. We got the job done, as we always do, and we walked away.”-- Excerpt from Interlude 5</ref>

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>

Post-Timeskip

In succeeding Legend as leader of the Protectorate Chevalier would also become the head of the New York Protectorate.<ref>Weaver spoke up, “I noted Shatterbirds and Burnscars leaving, some Damsels, bunch of others I didn’t catch, but they had weapons and I’m thinking Winter or Crimson. There were some I parsed as hostages, but it’s only in retrospect that I’m thinking they were Nice Guys.”

“The second group made their way to New York.”

“Bonesaw and a captive Nilbog that’s apparently rigged to create things on demand,” Weaver said. “Crawlers, Breeds and a handful of others I didn’t identify.”

Chevalier reacted to that, flinching.

His city, Golem thought. - Excerpt from Interlude 26a</ref>
