"“The eternal night begins.” —Black" Edwin Black (エドウィン・ブラック) is the King of the Vampires and a recurring threat in the Mahou Kaiju Series cinematic universe as the main antagonist of the series' Taimanin Arc.

Appearance
His human guise is a tall muscular middle-aged-looking man with gray eyes and silver porcupine-like hair. He often wears a black business suit, though the colors of his tie and shirt differ in each movie he appears in. In his true form he turns purple gains long white hair and four arms with magical weapons.

Personality
Black is an imposing with enigmatic qualities, seemingly not fazed a lot by threats or plans not working out. He remains calm and of little words, extremely confident but doesn't boast only angered, when people conflict with his plans for Asagi. He remains careful, as other powerful demons try to take him down.

He seems to fear, not that he can die but that his own immortal self will be swallowed up by darkness in solitude. Therefore, he requires an eternal companion like Asagi, this fixation on her is one of his main motivators.

On top of that he has shown a desire to reform the world through destruction and rebirth, showing signs of a god complex. He stated before that he wishes to be the Adam, and Asagi the Eve of the new world.

Regardless of his methods within NOMAD he is seen as a rather noble Demon, staying true to his word and to a degree playing fair. He has no qualms about fighting women, men or demons alike

Before focusing on Asagi, he sought others who could potentially be a threat to his existence. For him, the threat to his own life was the greatest excitement he could get. Conspiracies and life-and-death battles were the only things that give his life satisfaction but has become far more aloof.

Trivia

 * His multi-armed demon form and powers seem to be a reference to Hinduism and Shiva. Shiva standing also for the "male unchanging destructive energy", as Black is also a god-like, male, destoyer of many worlds and as a vampire an "eternal unchanging". This create parallel to Asagi that could be viewed as Parvati (goddess of fertility, love, beauty, harmony, marriage) the wife of Shiva that "with him" as the "female changing creation energy", creates new worlds. As also both Shiva and Parvati fused form is Ardhanarishvara a being with male and female features. This also connects to Black's plan to become one with Asagi. As Vampire Asagi also exists only as a fusion of the two, with both sharing one body that can switch between the male and female.
