K, the Watcher in the Night, or simply K is one of many Shepards that are associated with the Black Order. Originally human, he once lived a peaceful life with his family until they were killed in a fire by the De Los Empire and swore revenge up on them by becoming a Imposter himself after being saved by Midnight's Darkness.

Lore

The Exile Mountains Lore Exercpt:

I tearfully begged you not to kill my father. I screamed not to punish those children. You said we all had to make sacrifices to eradicate the Imposters. You said it was inevitable, to punish evil. To me, you were evil.

Does your god really exist? Because if he did, he would never have let you be so cruel to others. He would never have let my father, who had been an honest man his entire life, be burned to death along with those young innocent children, right before my eyes. I stopped praying after there was nothing but their ashes. I started hating man, hating the gods. I only wanted to die. Then, He sent His messenger to me. "The gods will continue to take away those you love unless you do something about them. If you want true redemption, follow me." That day, I turned to Him.

Man was evil. The weak were helpless. None of the gods answered my prayers. That day, I lost everything to the fire and died along with it. Now, I'm reborn. Now, my name is K. K, the Watcher in the Night. I'll use this power that you abhor to save others that have been suffering at your hands. I'll punish your evil with my evil.

Character Biography:

Male/Early 20s.

K used to live in a bordering helmet of the Empire with his disabled father. He was curt and inflexible, but also kind and responsible. He even took some orphans under his wing.

One day, someone reported that Imposters showed up in his village. The Imperial Army barged in, and soon his village turned into a battleground between Imposters and the human army.

K evacuated with his father and children into a forest. The Imperial Army set the place on fire, in case Imposters were hiding there. K helplessly watched as his family died of smoke inhalation, and his heartrending screams reached Midnight's Darkness.

Midnight's Darkness appeared and saved K, but it was too late for his family. K was left with nothing but hatred and anger. Midnight's Darkness suggested he join the Cult of Darkness for the power to protect those he loved.

K agreed. He accepted the false stigma and became an Imposter.

As an Enemy

K, the Watcher in the Night

Type

K makes his appearance inside the Exile Mountains as a end boss to Night of Chaos and later returning as Chaos-eaten K in Ozma of Chaos Raid.

Move Set

Black Sheep's Ritual: Upon entering his boss room, K transforms as he begins summoning five statues engraved with symbols around him, one in the middle and four in each corner. To successfully clear this pattern, either one or two party members can coordinate with each other by performing a Ritual Modification where they must pair the middle statue's symbol with one in a matching corner four times in total before a timer gauge below empties out. If this is done correctly, K enters a groggy state with his defenses lowered. Failure to meet those requirements results in K performing a fatal AoE party wipe.

Magic Tentacles: After his groggy time ends, K can summon magic tentacles to pull in players to damage them, these can be destroyed while being summoned.

Cult's Relic: K summons two relics on both sides of the room alongside five gold circles on the floor with a symbol that was seen during Black Sheep's Ritual matching those relics. A dark fog also encroaches the whole floor that drains a player's HP if someone steps out of a circle. To cancel out this pattern, all party members will need to stand on the matching circle symbols as a progress bar fills up. When this is activated, K attempts throwing his shadow to hit the relic, one player will be required to hit his shadow twice when it glows, successfully clearing this can also result in getting K's groggy time.

Strategy

• K can be summed up as a very simple and straight-forward boss fight.
• For Black Sheep's Ritual:
  • It's reccommended that either one or two players can take turns matching the statue symbols while the other two party members can focus on attacking K.
  • If you get a Ritual Modification, do not wander around the room as this can waste time or cause frustration during a Exiles run.
  • He does not have any invincibilty frames during his patterns and depending on the party's strength, K can be easily be dispatched of after his main pattern is finished, so have the Crusader/Enchantress to deploy their  Apocalypse/ Final Judgment,  Crux of Victoria/ Laus di Angelus,  Marionette/ Curtain Call and use your strongest skills.
