I don't know. I'm only alluding to a larger group of Black Knights as I don't want to actually state that they exist. I imagine Arthur has some pretty dark stuff going on in his past. I figure he's commited some sins to either get into the Black Knights or to get close to Yuber. When I write characters into other characters pasts and histories I tend to go very Meta to prevent from creating continuity glitches with the other games.patapi wrote:Then, that begs the question, how does one "become" a black knight?
As far as creating the Black Knights goes, I feel that I can create a group of Black Knights. I'm not really going to put thier origins on display though. The way Konami has it written they allude to the fact that this group may or may not exist. They are very vague about it. So if Konami decides to ever feature the Black Knights in a game, I can say that my characters are a part of that order. If they don't, then guess what they are part of the secret history of Suikoden that my game is all about.
The way I look at them they are probably kind of like the Akatske except not necessarily evil or power hungry. They are a secret society of Black Armor guys that have either have a connection to the eightfold rune or true runes in general.
Arthur is my way of making the whole Yubmerga thing right. Yuber and Pesmerga are shallow two dimensional characters. Arthur, Cain, and Co. aren't. I think fans will respond positively to the story arc that surrounds them. Although, I'm freaked out about it now. These are not main characters in the game and I've hyped them into oblivion now.
