**Blackbone** (/blak.bəʊn/), the **Wight Commander** is one of two secondary antagonist in the first season of Fractures saga (Alongside Glutton). He was the commander of the Wither Skeletons, serving under Herobrine. He first appeared in *Cold as Ice*, and was voiced by Tigilord in *We Are the Danger*.

Blackbone was originally from the Nether Horde but later joined the Undead. Whilst the Frostbourne ambushed the Wither Skeletons' camp, Blackbone was killed by Stella.

## Design

A bulky, humanoid Wither Skeleton with black eyes, void-like mouth and bloodred pupils, Blackbone always wields his signature Withersword. As of Goodbye, he had acquired a large, grey burn mark on the side of his face.

### Background

Although none know much of his past, it is assumed that he came from the Nether, and can be assumed that he gained Herobrine's interest and was appointed as his general - perhaps, after the conclusion of the Battle of the Tundra.

### *Cold as Ice*

In a claimed Glacierford, Blackbone was walking alongside Herobrine when Rain flew in on his dragon.

#### *We Are the Danger*

―Blackbone and Herobrine

Days after the Outbreak at Glacierford, and several hours after the resolution of the End-Frostbourne War, in We Are the Danger, Blackbone warned Herobrine of the immenient threat posed by the newfound Frostbourne-Ender Watchers alliance in Glacierford, imploring him of his plan. Herobrine then ordered the Wight Commander to seek an audience with the Pig King.

During the Battle for Glacierford, in which the Frostbourne, with acquired support from the Ender Watchers, attempted to reclaim Glacierford, Blackbone summoned a Nether Portal and accompanied his lord to Glutton, the Undead allying with the Nether Horde, securing Herobrine's victory.

After the battle, Blackbone, alongside his band of Wither Skeletons, attended to his orders acquiring additional territory, settling in a forest and setting up the Wither Camp. He garnered a burn mark on the left of his face during this time.

#### *Goodbye*

Later, in Goodbye, Blackbone resided in the Wither Camp with his small band of Wither Skeletons; his camp was ambushed by the Frostbourne, Bandits and Stella, led by Ser Patrick. Blackbone fought against Stella, who used her Arcane Lightning and Blades to exploit his weakness towards magic and kill him with ease, as his allies fell against Azura and the Bandits.

## Personality

"Obedient and loyal to Herobrine." - Rainimator Lorebook

However, he also sometimes questions him, such as when he seemed doubtful that his lord could stand against their foes, although always was faithful to him in the end.

## Skills

"He wields a giant sword, which possibly came from the Nether. His bone plating allows him to withstand melee attacks and bullets, but he has no match against magic. - Rainimator Lorebook

Blackbone is shown to be a powerful opponent, with an amazingly strong Withersword, although easily falters due to his great weakness to magic as described in the Rainimator Lorebook. However, the full extent of his power was never shown as he was killed by Stella.

According to Rainimator, Blackbone was generally around the strength of Ser Patrick and stronger than Rain, Kane and Ciara.

## Trivia

* Alongside Herobrine, Blackbone was the first character to have a voice actor and to be in a video with voice acting and was actually the first voice in the series.
	+ He was voiced by Tigilord, the voice actor of General Naeus, The Entity, and Daryll the Bandit.
* Blackbone was the first-named Wither Skeleton shown in the series, as well as the only named Wither Skeleton to belong to a faction other than the Nether Horde.
	+ Naeus, the Wither Skeletons' leader in the Civil War, belonged to the Undead as well as the Horde, however he was in reality a regular Skeleton.
* Blackbone was born on October 8th, sharing his birth month with Ciara.
