Biography

1998 anime

Character

Appearance

Knives is tall and toned, with a body akin to a Greek statue. He has sharp features, and wears his white-blond hair in a short crew-cut. For clothing, he simply wears one of the old Project Seeds bodysuits, sometimes with a raggedy poncho over it.

Personality

Knives comes across as cold and sociopathic. He prefers logic over emotion, seeing the acceptance and expression of emotion as a sign of weakness. When it comes to Vash, however, he can get very emotional. He seems to experience love as obsession and express it as possessiveness. His wrath is something to be feared when combined with the powers that he has.

Occupation

He's the series' main antagonist. His eventual goal is to destroy the humans on the planet who survived the Fall.

Family

Knives has one brother, Vash the Stampede, from whom he is estranged. Rem Saverem served as his adoptive mother.

Relationships

Rem Saverem

Knives' relationship to Rem is primarily that of mother-and-child.

Vash the Stampede

His relationship with Vash is that of an estranged sibling.

Legato Bluesummers

Knives' relationship to Legato is that of a god or lord - someone worthy of reverence.

Gung-Ho-Guns

Knives' personal army. Legato has control of them while Knives regenerates. He is the only member of the bunch to talk to Knives directly.

Nicholas D. Wolfwood

Wolfwood is the subordinate of a subordinate, and it is questionable if Knives even knows he exists in the anime.

Canonically, Knives has no lovers, as he holds humanity in the utmost contempt.

Weapons & Abilities

Long Colt 45

The black version of Vash's gun.

Angel Arm

The black-and-red version of Vash's arm.
