The '''Darth Vader Clone''', a character archetype originating in sci-fi begun by the popularity of the character Darth Vader from ''[[Star Wars]]''.
Line 60:
* Gabranth in ''[[Final Fantasy XII]]'' is [[The Dragon]] to [[The Emperor]], Vayne, is revealed to be Basch's [[Evil Twin]] and is a [[Fallen Hero]] who is pretty much single-handedly responsible for the fall of Dalmasca and the Empire's reign in the region. Clad in dark silver armor with a black cape and having a metallic echo to his voice due to his helmet, Gabranth is actually a broken man who feels he has nothing to live for except his servitude to Vayne, his home and family having been taken from him or given up. By the end of the game he helps the heroes defeat Vayne, but is mortally wounded for his heroism and dies soon after.
* King K. Rool behaves this way in ''[[Donkey Kong 64]]''.
* Darth Malgus in ''[[Star Wars: The Old Republic]].'' Also, most Sith Warrior PCs can give it a decent go, especially with some of the late game helmets like [http://quietube2.com/v.php/http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=klN9Tt1GM3s&feature=player_embedded this]
* The bosses of the 1987 ''[[Star Wars]]'' [[Licensed Game]] for the Famicom are a long line of Darth Vader knockoffs, such as Scorpion Vader and Wampa Vader, who drop their masks and cloaks soon into the [[Boss Battle]]. The actual Darth Vader is defeated before the assault on the Death Star.
* The Darkshine Knight from [[Seiken Densetsu 3]] qualifies. He wears bulky [[Black Knight|dark armor]], is a formidable swordsman and is [[The Dragon|second in command]] to the [[Big Bad]]. {{spoiler|Later he is revealed to be working for the [[Bigger Bad|Dragon Emperor]], which actually makes him third in command. Oh, and he's also Duran's (one of the protagonists) father}}
