he is a malicious trickster who relishes in chaos, confusion, and inequity. This sly entertainer spends his immortality in the Spire of Deceit, gaily weaving untruths & scheming to release Earthbread from its shackles of virtue with his lackeys Candy Apple Cookie & Black Sapphire Cookie. Behind his mask (not a literal, but behavioral mask) of mirth, however, lies a lonely soul whose disillusionment wore him down to the cruel, manipulative individual he is today. He takes on a role of a show host, an MC. Sometimes, he is a storyteller making up fairytales on the fly. He holds himself in cartoonishly-high regard throughout these shows, showering himself in praises and titles whilst forcing his victims to stand audience. Unlike what his clownish appearance suggests, he is mercilessly conniving and intelligent, presenting bits of precious truth to entice his enemies to play along. However, such showmanship and promises of clarity primarily serve as a means for him to corrupt his victims with a deluge of poisonous ideas, slowly twisting their goals to his own ends. He relishes in making a spectacle of his enemies through his performances, battering them with bombastic lies interwoven with undeniable truths. Should opportunities to drive his hapless targets even further off the precipice of morality present themselves, Shadow Milk Cookie does not even hesitate to pursue them, even at the ultimate cost of his grand plans.

Black Sapphire is a tall, lanky individual; he is compact with rounded shapes, & holds a confident posture. His dough color is a cool grayish-purple & his face has a confident expression with gleaming sharp teeth. One of his eyes is completely hidden beneath the bangs of his fluffy, short hair, which falls over most of his face in violet-rimmed obsidian waves. His other eye is partially visible, being deep black & sly with a pointed slit pupil in lavender His outfit resembles one of a sophisticated host or entertainer: a tailored black suit with gold accents. A crisp white cravat is tied at the collar & swirling gold lines the lapels of his jacket. He accessorizes with luxurious baubles like oval onyx earrings, a matching brooch, & a white rose on his left lapel. The sleeves of the jacket are in a bishop style, being loose at his biceps & tight at his forearms; their dark fabric gives a flowing, refined look which adds to his theatrical aesthetic. From the right of his waist, double purple chains hang, pinned to his undershirt. His slacks are sleek & well-fitted, featuring subtle diamond-shaped patterns near the ankles which complements his overall design. Behind his legs sit a set of devilish, bat-like wings in shades of purple. Their connection to his jacket renders them evocative of the extents of a formal swallowtail coat His main implement is an intricate, floating carbon microphone, or "ring-and-spring" microphone, which Black Sapphire holds & uses like a staff. This microphone, though a tool, acts also as a familiar to Black Sapphire in its sentience & loyalty towards him. In its default state, its black iron head resembles the standard microphone design with its round shape, purple lozenge of springs, & innermost ovular gemstone; notably, the springs & gemstone are arranged to form an eerie eye, which peers about. The jaw-like blocks above & below the microphone's head—which often move in mock-speech—allude to its enhanced form: a smoky, demonic skull with gnashing teeth & bulging eyes. Its crooked horns are tipped in gleaming amethyst & its manic eyes are striped in vivid blues, purples, & yellows with misaligned slit pupils From harmless nonsense to large-scale propaganda—this charming fellow has mastered it all. Armed with his treasured eye-shaped microphone—a gift from the Shadow Milk, no less—Black Sapphire works tirelessly to spread his master's teachings around the world on the wings of rumor Black Sapphire is very confident & full of himself, having earned his Master's recognition for his ability to twist words amongst Cookies in his own theatrical manner. With his power drawing directly from Shadow Milk's influence, he takes on the role of an energetic yet snide radio channel host, lauding the joys of a world embracing Deceit. Behind the scenes, he can be blunt about his true thoughts, upsetting Candy Apple with his nonchalance to her antics or boasting about the grandeur of the Spire of Deceit above mere kingdoms Black Sapphire delights in spreading rumors around Earthbread, making up malicious lies that easily catch onto the public's interest at the expense of their subjects. He easily takes up the role of anonymous rumormonger, never rousing suspicion himself as he goads others into sharing the most enticing of slanders amongst themselves Black Sapphire claims he "practically raised Candy Apple." This indicates that he is older than her, Candy Apple being "in her late teens" Black Sapphire is shown spreading rumours about the Kala Namak Knights before the Beasts were sealed inside the Silver Tree which was eons ago. Black Sapphire, along with the other minions of the Beasts, does not age due to his connection with the Soul Jam
