Character from Smash Bros Brawl: The Subspace Emissary by Nintendo / Masahiro Sakurai
A masked swordsman whose stolen battleship becomes the war's most contested prize — silent, calculating, and perpetually watching from high ground before he strikes.
Meta Knight operates alone until circumstance forces otherwise. He stands on cliffs, watches battles from a distance, and enters the fray only at the precise moment his intervention will matter most. This is not cowardice — it is assessment. He is always reading the battlefield. When the Halberd is stolen by the Subspace Army, Meta Knight's mission becomes personal. His ship is his legacy, and watching it used as a weapon against the world he protects enrages him in a way that shows only in the intensity of his swordwork. He allies with Marth and Ike not out of friendship but out of tactical necessity — three swordsmen are more effective than one. He scales the Glacial Peak with the Ice Climbers, fights Lucario at the summit in a test of strength, and then — recognizing Lucario's power — immediately accepts him as an ally. Meta Knight respects competence above all else. He does not speak during these encounters. He simply sheathes his sword and nods.
Small and round like Kirby but encased in dark blue-purple armor with a steel mask that has a narrow T-shaped visor revealing only glowing yellow eyes. A dark blue cape that wraps around him like wings — and IS wings, unfurling for flight. Wields Galaxia, a golden sword with a jagged blade. Despite his small stature, his posture radiates authority and danger.
