List of Black Cat Characters - Apostles of The Stars - Creed Diskenth

Creed Diskenth (クリード ディスケンス, Kurīdo Disukensu?) is the series' main antagonist. He is the leader of the Apostles of the Stars and a former member of Chronos. He tells the group that their only purpose is destroy Chronos, but he really plans to make himself immortal using nanomachines and rule the world forever by selectivity controlling the human population. He is severely warped after being abused by his mother, whom he kills, and the police while living on the streets. He greatly admires the assassin side of Train, as the only person in the world he can relate his personality. After Train changes during his meetings with Saya, Creed kills her, and makes it his goal to return Train to his previous lifestyle and have him join the Apostles. Creed calls Saya a "witch" because she changed Train.

Creed uses his Tao powers to manipulate the hilt of his former sword, "Kotetsu", to form the "Imagine Blade". Its first form, Level 1, is an invisible sword that is able to extend up to eighty meters. It later evolves into Level 2, a living black sword with a mouth that is directly linked with Creed's mind. It is able to extend and be manipulated like a whip at will, and it can bite opponents. Level 3 merges the sword with his arm, and another large arm extends from it, which can be used to propel Creed at high speeds. Its final form, Level MAX, creates an extremely large blade made out of light. After obtaining the God's Breath nanomachines, Creed becomes able to regenerate from any fatal wound in seconds and he will remain in his peak physical condition forever. The nanomachines' only weakness is that they cannot fully restore the brain, which would leave him with only primal instincts.

Creed's obsession with Train grows until he begins to realize that Train won't join him, and insists that killing Train would "break his heart". Train eventually succeeds in severely injuring Creed, destroying his blade. Since the blade was linked to Creed's mind, his mind was also shattered, effectively turning him into a raisin for a brief length of time. Despite Train's loathing for Creed, he rescues him from falling off a rooftop at the risk of his own life.

Chronos apparently no longer considers him enough of a threat to further punish him, since he is seen living with Echidna in a country villa, using a wheelchair. In the final episode of the anime, Creed fights Mason so that Train can rescue Eve, and in the end he is seen, again in the villa in the company of Echidna, quietly painting a landscape.
