In Toby Fox's commentary on the Game Main Theme (Piano Sketch) scrapped Deltarune track, it is implied that the Knight is the main antagonist and final boss of Deltarune.It is currently unknown whether Kris is the Knight. Despite using the term 'Roaring Knight', Queen was seemingly oblivious to the consequences of opening Dark Fountains, possibly indicating that it's one of the Knight's self-chosen names.Īt the end of Chapter 2, Kris is seen ripping out their SOUL and opening a new Dark Fountain in their home. Berdly attempts to make a fountain but is cut off by Ralsei, who then goes on to explain that the Dark Fountains, when gone unchecked, would eventually consume the Light World, turning all Darkners to stone and leaving Lightners alone in the dark. During the party's battle with Queen, she explains that any Lightner with enough Determination is able to open Dark Fountains, and she was planning on replacing the Knight's abilities with those of Noelle.

Instead, the party learns of it from stories primarily told by King and Seam. Chapter 1 ĭuring Chapter 1, the Knight never makes an appearance. While willing to fight to his death, King appears to have been misled by the Knight to believe that opening Dark Fountains would turn everything into a Dark World rather than cause the Roaring. The Knight then went on to create the Eastern Fountain. As a result, the King of Spades, now referred to simply as 'King,' became the absolute monarch over the kingdom.

However, this all changed when the Knight took the King of Spades, who beared a strong hatred for Lightners after being abandoned and forgotten in the old class room, under its control and the three other Kings were locked away in Card Castle. Main Story History īefore the Knight appeared, the Card Kingdom was ruled by four kings. The Knight also doesn't seem to be above deception as they assumedly misled the King into believing that creating more Dark Worlds would make everything into a Dark World instead of causing the Roaring. However, it is probable that they have a desire to bring the Roaring or at least are aware of it Queen implies it used the title 'Roaring Knight' while creating the Cyber World Dark Fountain.
