Nightwielder is a High Epic that is part of Steelheart's inner circle. He is the one responsible for Newcago's constant darkness.
Appearance and Personality[edit]
Nightwielder is tall with short hair, and is thought by David to be of Japanese descent. He is described as only being "half-there,"[1] although when he is corporeal, he looks frail. He typically has a pool of dark mist around him, although he can easily turn this mist into solid tendrils of darkness, which can be seen moving through the air. [1][2] In his full glory, Nightwielder appears to be clothed in night, with darkness writhing around him. [3]
Attributes and Abilities[edit]
Epic Abilities[edit]
- Incorporeality
- He can pass through matter and no weapon can harm him while in this form. Nightwielder is almost never seen in corporeal form.
- Darkness
- Nightwielder is powerful enough to keep the entire city of Newcago dark except for the light from Calamity.
- Dark mist
- Nightwielder exudes a dark mist that pools around him. The mist can be controlled by him and be given solid form, for example, a spear that can impale someone.
- Flight
- At a few points in Steelheart, Nightwielder displays the ability to levitate and fly. This ability appears to go in tandem with incorporeality. [1]
Epic Weakness[edit]
Nightwielder becomes corporeal whenever he has UV light shining on him. This doesn't affect the large-scale darkness.[4] It has been theorized that this is due to him having had skin cancer at some point before he became an Epic.
History[edit]
During the unexpected encounter in Diamond's weapon shop, David confirmed his suspicion that Nightwielder's weakness is UV by pretending to have accidentally activated a UV camera. Uncertain whether this was deliberate or not, Nightwielder chose not to attack. Nightwielder was killed by David Charleston's exploitation of his weakness during the Reckoners' assassination of Steelheart. [5]
