Meta Knight

Meta Knight is the name of the main antihero in the Kirby Series. He was born in Dream Land, and cares dearly about his home. However, if Dream Land makes a mistake, he will not hesitate to use violence to fix that mistake. He always comes across as dark and evil, however, in reality, he is actually a loyal being.
== Abilities ==
Meta Knight, as a swordsman, slices and dices with his one-handed sword. His attacks are very quick and executed in rapid succession. He can also harness energy to whip up whirlwinds and "sword beams". Occasionally, his cape will transform into wings, allowing him to fly with great speed. He has shown the ability to inhale, but this is rarely ever shown.
