Amadeus of the Green Stretch

Character from A Practical Guide to Evil by ErraticErrata

The Black Knight who tried to make Evil win through pragmatism instead of superweapons — a cold machine of strategy who loved exactly three people and engineered his own death to save the world he built for them.

Also known as: Amadeus, Black Knight, the Black Knight

What They Know

• Aspects: Lead (empowers soldiers' prowess and morale), Conquer (increases his physical power in open combat), Destroy (cancels enemy Aspects and magical workings)
• One of the ten best swordsmen Ranger has ever faced — and she has faced elves a thousand years old
• Speaking powerful enough to make transitional Named stab themselves — his voice carries supernatural compulsion
• The Reforms: shifted power from Praesi nobility to Tower-controlled institutions, uplifted orcs and goblins with social mobility, restructured the Legions of Terror into a professional fighting force
• Studied every failed Dread Emperor's defeat to identify why Evil always loses — then systematically built a Praes that avoided those patterns
• Engineered his own death at the Battle of Ater — forced Catherine to spare Malicia as the only person who could bring Praes into the Grand Alliance
