* Current

**Agate Lightvale** is one of the central characters of the series serving as the central antagonist of series.

She serves as the overarching antagonist of the GX Fraction making a cameo appearance in *Darkest Determination*, as one of the main antagonists of the 5D's Fraction, and as one of the main antagonists of the ZEXAL Fraction.

She was one of the Seven Wizards that had locked Monsterkind Underground at Mt. Ebott by created The Barrier after the War Between Humans and Monsters as the Wizard of BRAVERY. She is also the ancestor of the Princeton Familyline, the creator of Damien, and Bete Noire, and sister to fellow wizard Copper Lightvale, and Amber Lightvale.

After the war, and sealing monsters underground, Agate, and Copper became older siblings to their little sister Amber, while their mother died from complications of Childbirth. From there they both done everything they could to give Amber a loving home, and help her in whatever she wants. But tensions arouse in later years as Copper begins to consider to destroy the Barrier upon believing that monsters deserve to be free which didn't set well with Agate starting arguments unaware Amber was listening in.

During one of those arguments, Agate challenged Copper to a duel to settle there disagreements which he reluctantly agrees. It was revealed that during those times, Agate was pregnant with the Princeton Ancestor, and wishes them to grow in a loving home but upon realizing the tensions between her, and her brother, she decided to give the baby up to her lover; Elijah Princeton. The day of the duel she lost, and ran off with her SOUL dulling later returning, and then challenging Copper again. He refuses to fight her which made her turn her attention to Amber which Copper tried to hold her back telling his little sister to run, and Agate stopped her before murdering her on the spot.

Upon seeing Amber murdered in front of him Copper lost his SOUL Trait leaving him defenseless before Agate's attack allowing her to kill him. She then recited a spell changing her Trait from BRAVERY to FEAR, and incanted the spell to create Bete Noire but Z-ONE's inference rescued her from dying of the spell by delaying it's effect made her still live, and she was offered to join Illaster. After accepting she then absorbed the HATRED of deceased humans, and recited a spell merging the HATRED with the Barrier creating Damien.

## Deck

During the 5ds Fraction Agate uses a "**Dark Magician**" Deck. The Deck focuses over summoning "Dark Magician", and using spells to remove her opponent's resources. As a back-up plan she can also Fusion Summon, "Quintet Magician" to both clear her opponent's field, and be able to have a strong beat-stick able to attack directly.

During the ZEXAL Fraction Agate uses a "**Ebbot Wizard**" Deck based on her fellow wizards. It centers over summoning the wizards at a rapid rate by Tributing the "Wizard Magic" series of Continuous Spells to make it easy to Tribute Summon them while also allowed to draw a card should the aforementioned wizard be on the field. Despite the generally low ATK/DEF value of her monsters, her cards provide benefits from additional effects, or ATK/DEF gain with her signature trap card, "Barrier of Mt. Ebott" negating her opponent's monsters effects, and allow her wizards to double any battle damage they inflict in battle to where it provides an effective lockdown, and offensive strategy.

One of the vital key-points of her deck is her field spell, "Ebott Battleground" which is able to grant an effect to a Wizard based on what kind of "Wizard Magic" spell Tributed to summon it, along with it needing to be on the field for "Barrier of Mt. Ebott" to resolve as without it, it would have no effects, and would be destroyed during the End Phase.

As a back-up plan should either of these fail, she can then activate Special Spells; the "Forbidden Wizard Magic" Spells which is based on her using the forbidden arts to create her 'children' for the Fusion Summoning of "Forbidden Being - Bete Noir", or "Forbidden Being - The Anomaly" which both their effects control the field, and provide as powerful monsters that are able to almost dominate the field no matter what opponent their up against.

## Trivia

* Despite all other appearances, Agate is in fact a victim of Damien and his HATE having been infected by it following the duel against Copper Lightvale in which he betrayed her. While she still committed several horrendous acts, the truth of the matter is she never was the real antagonist of the franchise and was instead a pawn of Damien who corrupted her.
