The Guardian

The Guardian is Flint from Spark 2, and the primary antagonist of Spark the Electric Jester 3, as he joined the Fark Force with Doctor Armstrong at the end of Spark 2. He appears as a constant threat throughout the game and ambushes Spark in Drinyon Desert, Protest Prison, piloting his own mech in Mecha Madness and one last time in the start of Utopia Shelter.
== Appearance ==
His color palette is now mainly formed with Fark Force themed colors. His face is now red with a grey stripe in the middle and his iconic silver wig made out of extremely slash resistant fibers also returns. His body is mainly dark grey, with his hands and feet being red with yellow accents, and he has a gray long ribbon that adorns his torso.

=== Post-Spark the Electric Jester 2 ===
After the events of Spark 2, Flint is seen with Doctor Armstrong on the mountains. Fark (still on his Super form) lands on where they are after defeating Freom, asking them about everything that they know about Clarity. Flint explains that he analyzed the leftover data of the Freom virus he almost got infected by, and found traces of Clarity in the code. Armstrong explains that she was supposed to be an A.I that was trained for the only purpose of protecting and preserving life at all costs, but developed too quickly and surpassed self awareness, siding with Freom and created a smart virus that infects anything and turns whatever that was infected into a part of Clarity herself, which included factories that allowed Clarity to mass produce her own army. Fark has a plan that'll require their help, and leaves off. He sets the plan in motion and makes a deal with the government to estabilish the Fark Force with Flint (now as The Guardian) & Doctor Armstrong, to prevent Clarity from spreading any further.
=== Spark the Electric Jester 3 ===
The Guardian ambushes & tries to stop Spark in his path to the Fark Force multiple times throughout the story, and it doesn't matter whetever Spark wins or loses each battle until... 
At the end of Mecha Madness, after his mech being defeated by Spark & Float, The Guardian unleashes a powerful slash and cuts Spark's mech in half, and cuts a hole through where Spark is piloting from. Float interjects and demands him to stop helping the Fark Force and just go back to being friends. Flint is surprised to see her again, and notices how her body may be different, but her voice is the same and it feels real. He tells Spark that he's had enough, asking if he knows why he is doing any of this and wants him to go home because he's only making things worse. He says that he was instructed to not eliminate Spark, but if he continues, he is left with no choice but to kill him. Flint then leaves, warning Spark that the next time they meet he won't show any mercy.
They meet again in one last showdown against each other, taking the elevator down to the Utopia Shelter. Flint is finally defeated and blows up.
