**Brigandine** (ブリガンダイン, *Burigandain*?), better known as the "**Armor of Edens**" (エデンズの鎧 Edenzu no Yoroi ), is a machine and one of the Demon King's Four Dark Stars. After being severely damaged by Jaguar, he was rebuilt as **Brigandine Mark II** (ブリガンダインＭＫ(マーク)Ⅱ(ツー), *Burigandain Māku II*?).

## Appearance

In Brigandine's deleted memories and Universe 0, he appeared as a dark-skinned man with long, light-colored hair in a ponytail with locs, and a matching goatee.

In his Mark I form, Brigandine is the largest and most physically imposing machine among the Four Dark Stars, appearing as a dark heavily armored knight with a head resembling that of a large rhinoceros beetle horn and carries a high-tech labrys at his back.

In his Mark II body, Brigandine still remains large and imposing, appearing as a heavily armored knight with large pauldrons and a face shaped like that of a lion's with dark wavy "*hair*".

## Personality

Brigandine is a stoic bot with few words and has shown a hint of arrogance, viewing the Four Shining Stars as paltry prototypes and does not consider them a threat. However, he has shown himself to be relatively humble (as shown during his interaction with Homura Kōgetsu) and is an honorable fighter at heart, much to Killer's annoyance.

## Synopsis

### Edens One arc

After a revived Ziggy, boards the Edens One and leaves Granbell, he introduces the Four Dark Stars to the Crew of Edens where Brigandine stands alongside his fellow Dark Stars. Brigandine notes that the Four Shining Stars seem to have one member missing which Killer confirms Valkyrie's death. Later on, Brigandine comments that he hardly sees their predecessors as a threat to them, calling them paltry prototypes.

### Foresta arc

At the bridge of Edens One, where Ziggy learns about the machine rebellion being stopped by the Crew of Edens at Foresta, Brigandine stands silently as the Demon King explains to the Dark Stars about his lost memories, his quest to find Mother, and his decision to raise Shiki as his grandson. Brigandine stands stoically as Ziggy remarks that Shura reacted exactly as he expected after watching the prince's public announcement to the Nero Empire.

### Nero 66 arc

At The Temple, Brigandine is called by Ziggy to attack Jaguar of the Oración Seis Interstellar as he barges through the roof of the Imperial palace, Deep Snow, and swiftly pushes back the captain with a shoulder charge directly. However, he is quickly ripped apart by the man's claws and collapses on the floor from the severe damages.

### X495 arc

On Lendard, a rebuilt Brigandine remarks that the machines produced on this planet would surpass even the Four Dark Stars one day and stands next to the other Dark Stars as Ziggy informs them that Shiki is coming and that they will stay here and fight him.

## Powers and Abilities

Brigandine was built as part of the Demon King's Four Dark Stars; a group of machines designed to be more advanced than the Demon King's Four Shining Stars. As the one who was designed to be able to counter Valkyrie, Brigandine was given the greatest attack power of the Four Dark Stars.

**Peerless Armor**: Brigandine states that after undergoing countless repairs and remodeling, he gained the strength to surpass the power of the late Jaguar who destroyed him 3 years ago.

* **Protection Fortify** (プロテクトフォーティファイ *Purotekuto Fōtifai*):
* **Armored Pressure** (アーマードプレッシャー *Āmādo Puresshā*):

**Enhanced Strength**: Brigandine is strong enough to briefly push back Jaguar with a shoulder charge attack.

**Enhanced Speed**: Despite his large size, Brigandine is shown to be rather fast, charging towards Jaguar at full speed.

**Immense Durability**: As the "Armor of Edens," Brigandine is shown to possess a tremendous amount of durability, as Homura's Soul Blade sword attacks had no effect on him.

**Machine Physiology**: As a machine, Brigandine should be able to survive in the vacuum of space unprotected with no negative effects like his fellow machine, Wizard.

**Anti-EMP Coating**: Brigandine, like all members of the Four Dark Stars, is equipped with a defensive coating that protects him from E.M. Pino's Electromagnetic Pulse.

## Equipment

**Labrys**: Brigandine wields a high-tech labrys, a double-bladed battle axe, that he carries at his back.
