A dark knight with arcane powers. Duane was a loyal knight, in service of a certain country, who had reached an impasse in his training. Wanting to grow further as a swordsman, Duane turned to the art of the dark blade at the suggestion of a superior. Afterwards, he was proud to have reached a level of skill to match that of his comrades, yet he was cast out by them upon his return, on the grounds that use of dark magic was unbefitting of a knight.

Background Story

3★	A dark knight with arcane powers. Duane was a loyal knight, in service of a certain country, who had reached an impasse in his training. Wanting to grow further as a swordsman, Duane turned to the art of the dark blade at the suggestion of a superior. Afterwards, he was proud to have reached a level of skill to match that of his comrades, yet he was cast out by them upon his return, on the grounds that use of dark magic was unbefitting of a knight.
4★	A dark knight with arcane powers who wielded a blade infused with magic. Duane learned dark magic upon the advice of a superior, only to be shunned and feared by his peers for his newfound powers. Though he had sought only to grow stronger, the rejection he faced after acquiring these abilities was enough to twist his mind. He was ultimately banished from the country for slaying several of his erstwhile comrades.
5★	A knight who wields a blade of dark power. Though Duane, as a vision, can now control his prodigious powers, the envy and malice of his comrades that he endured in life have left scars on his psyche. Once pure of heart and mind, his grief deepened to such an extent that he eventually took his own life. His spirit now wanders the world as a vision, seeking to make amends.

Fusion

3★	The darkness...shall be my power.

5★	Pain is unavoidable, when handling the powers of darkness... But there's no need to worry. I have this under control.

Summon

3★	This voice calling to me... You are not evil, are you. If you need my help, have it.
4★	In my blade is the power of darkness... If you have no qualms about it, then let us fight together.
5★	I heard you call from the darkness. If you do not fear my arcane powers, then I shall fight with you.
