So, enter the villain! This story is going to have several villains, some of them working together and some of them not, and Blackpatch is one of the major ones. As you can see, he doesn’t start big as he is just a bandit and gang leader, but he is already an opponent to consider. By the way, the parallels between Blackpatch/Cregga and Swartt/Sunflash are not intentional, I just realized the similarities after outlining Blackpatch’s character. I wanted to make Cregga an enemy who could keep up with her, but didn’t want to create another Gulo or Damug who would rely only on strength or numbers of his army. So Blackpatch is the one to use cunning and exploit all the weaknesses of his enemies instead.
