## Overview

The Capitaine Chevalier is the leader of the Chevaliers taking residence in the Temple of Valstar. It is a tall, golden Chevalier, towering over Zedekiah at nearly twice his height. Being the commander of its army, the Capitaine Chevalier is intelligent, quick-witted, and incredibly strong, but is also incredibly boastful, constantly flaunting its golden, polished armor. As it turns out, the Capitaine Chevalier is a very poor leader, being incredibly self-centered and prideful, and is disliked by the majority of the [Bataillon de Chevaliers](https://bluesod.gitbook.io/soulblaze-gdd/characters/enemies/bataillon-de-chevaliers). Defeating him causes the clan to respect the protagonists, and no longer treat them with hostility.

## Fight Overview

The Capitaine Chevailer is mostly a skill check for the player, ensuring they have properly learned how to fight and play the game. Being a [Superheavy](https://bluesod.gitbook.io/soulblaze-gdd/planned-features-and-mechanics/combat/combat-fundamentals#weight-classes) enemy, he also teaches the player about them. He does not present a difficult challenge, instead testing the player on all they've learned. His slow movement and common boasting leaves him vulnerable to Heavy combos, while the Chevaliers he summons incentivize Light combos.

During his 2nd phase at half health, he simply intensifies the fight, raising the difficulty and making it a true test of skill.
