Consul K

Consul K is an antagonist in Xenoblade Chronicles 3. He is a member of the Consuls.

Appearance and personality
As with all Consuls, K wears the red armor and black cape, but with a collar. He wears a spherical shaped helmet with breather tube-like decoration on the front. In his Moebius form, K takes the form of a large muscular demonic humanoid with a crest-like head, a ring around his waist, and an infinity symbol in the center.

K is arrogant, overconfident and complains a lot, preferring to use is Iris to track his enemies during battle which ironically caused his downfall. He has particular dislike of Dirt-rank Colonies, especially Colony 4's due to its location. He is cowardly, often calling Kevesi soldiers to back him up during his fight with the party. He is also somewhat sadistic, harvesting the people of Colony 4 without remorse, even purposely cutting his finger on Noah's Veiled Sword just to prove his point. Ultimately he is afraid of death.

Story Arc
K is first seen observing the infinity symbol in the sky projected by D. He is later seen in a meeting with his fellow Consuls before being sent after the party by N.

K then flies to Colony 4 in Eagus Wilderness in a Kevesi shuttle, as he disembarks, he complains about its dusty environment, with Ethel reassuring him that the rain season is coming before he complains about the black fog. Ethel then shows him to his quarters. When he arrives, he complains about how dirty the room is, before Ethel warns him not to escalate his complaints. K then orders Ethel to destroy the party before taking control of her and the soldiers of Colony 4.

When Ethel breaks free from his control due to the black fog, an annoyed K confronts the party outside Colony 4, knocking out Ethel before engaging the party personally, calling himself the "big bad boss", before exclaiming "boo". After being defeated, the wounded K transforms into his Moebius form and proceeds to harvest the life from the Colony's Flame Clock to heal himself, taunting the party he can hurt him all he wants as he can heal, even going as far as cutting his finger on Noah's Veiled Sword to prove his point prompting Noah to call off the party's attack on him. Noah then comes up with an idea of destroy the Flame Clock to cut off his healing source, but is afraid that it will kill everyone bound to it, though Mio encourages him as she will share the burden of the potential lives loss due to his idea. Noah then orders the rest of the party to distract K while he goes for the Flame Clock, but K anticipated Noah's plan and begins using the Colony's Ferronis to repel the party, even though Lanz and Sena Interlinked for the first time, they were eventually overwhelmed by K's onslaught. It was only when Eunie and Taion Interlinked for the first time that the party finally gets an edge. K then tries to find the party but he was unable due to the black fog causing him to be ambushed by Lanz and Eunie in their Ouroboros form. Noah and then Lanz and Eunie tries to destroy the Flame Clock with no success. It was then that Noah unsheathed Lucky Seven for the first time that the Flame Clock is finally destroyed, saving Colony 4's inhabitants and depriving K of his healing source.

Without the Flame Clock, K is swiftly defeated by the party. In his final moments, he exclaims that he wanted to play around a little more, and declaring his fear of death before dying, with his corpse reverting back to his humanoid form. Lanz then removes the helmet from K's body, shocked that his face is all wrinkled. Noah and Mio then sent off the late Consul despite the other party's protest.

After his death, the fallen Consul is mocked by D for his overreliance on his Iris, with B claiming it was bad luck due to the black fog.
