==== Morgan Black ====
Line 18:
A Scotsman born into the Black family, he joined the Knights of St. John at an early age.
 
In ''Blood,'', he's defending the last bastion of the Knights on the island of Malta from the soldiers of the Ottoman Empire, led by Sahin the Falcon. After driving them out of Malta, he and his superior, Alain Magnan, discover records of the [[Ancient Conspiracy|Circle of Ossus]], who sought [[Immortality Seeker|eternal life.]]. Believing that the Ottomans were after the "Fountain of Youth", Morgan is sent to the New World to thwart them. On his way there, he tangles with [[Pirate Girl|Elisabet "Lizzie" Ramsey,]], Sahin's entourage, and the Spanish, before unearthing a plot far more sinister than he'd originally suspected.
 
After all's said and done, Morgan and Lizzie have another encounter and [[Babies Ever After|have four sons]], two of which were Phillippe (father of John) and Stuart Black.
Line 50:
* [[Bash Brothers]]: With Kanyenke again.
* [[Berserk Button]]/[[Beware the Nice Ones]]: He is said to hold grudges for a long time, and nowhere is this more apparent when he tracks Warwick ''all the way across the North American landmass'' in retaliation for {{spoiler|killing his uncle Stuart}} and kidnapping Nonakhee.
{{quote|''"Nonakhee goes home. [[Roaring Rampage of Revenge|This will end badly, and I don't want her to see it.]]."''}}
* [[Cold Sniper]]
* {{spoiler|[[Heroic Sacrifice]]: Since he gets cornered in the mountain by Warwick and his troops, he blows the mountain and dies in the process. Amelia, her granddaughter, mentions that he died as a hero}}.
Line 74:
[[File:Amelia Black 4835.jpg|frame]]
 
The protagonist of ''Steel'', and the narrator of all the campaigns in both ''Age of Empires III'' and ''WarchiefsThe WarChiefs'', Amelia runs the Falcon Company as it falls on hard times following the expensive battles waged by her father Nathaniel. She seeks to regain some pf the family fortune by building a railroad straight to the west coast, but gets caught up in the Mexican War. While helping to defend a fort, she meets a French woodsman named Pierre Beaumont, who promises her a cut of his claim to a gold mine in exchange for the cooperation and use of her workers and equipment. Little did she know of what lay in store for her...
 
She's the daughter of Nathaniel Black and mother of Chayton Black. Her husband is a Sioux, but he does not make an appearance.
Line 95:
Tropes related with him:
* [[Badass Mustache]]
* {{spoiler|[[Enemy Mine]]}}: {{spoiler|He fights alongside Morgan in the final mission of ''Blood''.}}.
** {{spoiler|[[Good All Along]]: It turns out that he was a hero}}.
* [[Impossibly Cool Clothes]]: Among the finest combat-capable wear the Ottomans have to offer.
* [[Ineffectual Sympathetic Villain]]: He menaces Morgan in ''Blood''. Or would be menacing him if it weren't for the fact that, in addition to being less competent than Morgan, his troops tend to get offed in large numbers by the wildlife, the Spanish, Pirates, and the environment itself (Morgan's troops go without saying). He fails to defeat Morgan in any of their engagements in spite of numerical and technological superiority and (more often then not) the advantage of defense, {{spoiler|and ends up getting captured by the Spanish treasure fleet to be burned alive in Spain. He only escapes this fate by being rescued by Morgan, who happened to be raiding the treasure fleets at the time}}.
* [[The Musketeer]]: He is able both in ranged attacks and hand attacks. He has a special attack with his sword.
* [[My Name Is Not Durwood]]: He always refers to all Europeans, but especially Morgan as 'Frenks', much to Morgan's annoyance.
Line 104:
* [[The Rival]]: To Morgan.
** {{spoiler|[[Back-to-Back Badasses]]}}: {{spoiler|Turns out he was [[Good All Along]], and he ends fighting alongside Morgan in the last mission}}.
* [[Sobriquet]]: "theThe Falcon".
* {{spoiler|[[What the Hell, Hero?]]}}: {{spoiler|He calls out Morgan for blindly following Alain Magnan's orders, before the reveal}}.
