Lord Onyx is the primary antagonist of Team FLME. Onyx is a subservient of Salem and the leader of the Lower Cabal. As such he is extremely knowledgeable about the world and has a vast collection of information about humanity, Remnant and the Grimm.

He is also on the hunt for the relic at Beacon following its destruction per Salem request. He is also responsible for the deaths of Abraham and Rouge Scorch and the destruction of the town Gōrudo in the kingdom of Mistral.

Early Years
Like his queen, little is known of Onyx's origins or why he is named after a color despite being older than the Great War Tradition. Being a servant of Salem, Onyx is extremely knowledgeable in the world and has an encyclopedic knowledge of many of the elements, beings and societies that exist within the world. He followed his queen in her goal to destroy humanity and Remnant and has never faltered by her side.

Attack on Gōrudo
Onyx once lead an assault on the city of Gōrudo in the Kingdom of Mistral. He let the Grimm invade the city and lit a majority of the area on fire. This was all a ruse so Onyx could easily kill Abraham Scorch to end the Guardian of the Silver-Eyed Warrior, Summer Rose. When Abraham and Rouge went in to save their allies, Onyx seized the opportunity to kill them. After their allies were in safety, Onyx struck and killed Rouge and then Abraham.

Formation
Once Salem began recruiting individuals to serve her in her goals, Onyx was ordered to do the same and thus travelled the world of Remnant in order to collect these individuals. He first went to Atlas to retrieve a scientist name Lavenza Volt. After a little convening, Volt swore allegiance to Onyx and Salem as did his mentor and friend, Dr. Watts.

Onyx and Volt then travelled to the Kingdom of Vale and recruited a general by the name of Shadow Ombre. When Tyrian was recruited by Salem to join her, Onyx also recruited Tyrian's nephew, Damson Shade whom was proven to be a master assassin and loyal to Onyx within moments. Onyx then enlisted Roz Quarzo's services to his cause and promised her freedom from humanity by their destruction.

Missions in Vale
Though Onyx never really conducted any missions in Vale, he did plan a majority of the plot to take down Beacon and other major attacks. Following the Battle of Beacon, Onyx declared that Isaac Scorch and his group will die and that Beacon was nothing more than a demonstration of their power. He also states that the smaller soul will fail as will her guardian.

Meeting with the Lower Cabal
Following the Fall of Beacon, Roz and Shadow retuned to Salem's Domain to report to Onyx about the battle and the failure to kill Isaac and Frederic Scorch. Prior to the meeting, she introduced Lavender to the realm and let her witness the birth and taming of Grimm but Volt and Ombre's forces. While their, she was scolded by Lavenza who claimed that she should have died at Beacon due to failure to kill Isaac. Damson then joins stating that she should hunt Isaac down a rip out his heart for destroying her's. Ombre then joins in stating that it was shameful that she lost to Isaac.

However, prior to her backlash towards the three, she is interrupted by Onyx entering the room and silencing Lavenza's unneeded "belittlement" of Roz. Despite her failing to kill Isaac, she is hailed by Onyx for her efforts in Vale and the role she played in having Taurus' allegiance to Salem. However, due to her defeat by Isaac, she is instructed to remain with Onyx to continue her training to hopefully kill Isaac and later Frederic. This leads Lavender to take over for Roz and Damson to now hunt down Frederic and kill him.

Hunt for the Relic
Following the meeting, Onyx returns to Beacon to locate a mysterious relic for Salem and her efforts. He comes into her council room to update her where he revels that he has searched throughout Beacon but could not find the relic. Salem assures him that the relic is there and that she would double his numbers at Beacon to find it.

Psych-Interviews
"Dr. Volt is such belittlement of Miss Quarzo truly necessary?"

Personality
Onyx is insidious, patiently moving to undermine and destroy his enemies with cold, deliberate resolve. He is cunning, cold and calculating individual with a vast knowledge and respect for his enemy, humanity, and views them as a dangerous threat to him and his queen. He admires his foes and their tenacity and is never one to be called arrogant always believing that he could lose at anytime, but he does hide his fears behind his confident persona.

He is very cruel and sadistic, for he seems to relish the prospect of watching Isaac and the rest of the world burn at his knees. In contrast, Onyx is very fair and collegial towards her allies, giving credit where credit is due and showing genuine appreciation to those who are loyal. In enforcing this atmosphere of fairness, he also discourages unnecessary malignance and cruelty amongst his associates. However, he is known to have a temper but is normally one to control his anger.

Despite his image, Onyx is known to be fearful of Salem and wishes to please her. As such, when he informs her of the failure in the relic hunt, he does very cautiously and has a stutter in his voice.

Physical Appearance
Onyx has a tall image which he uses for intimidation and other feats. He has a deathly pale competition like his queen and his face is covered with red tattoos and a large scar on his right eye. He also bears his emblem atop on his forehead. He wears a large black colored cloak with a large black scarf like object around his neck. He also wears a sleeveless robe which reaches down to his legs.

He wears a series of brown bandages around his arms which stop at his hands and reach his upper shoulder. He wears a white belt around his robes and waist. He also has a series of robes around his waist which are colored brown on the inside. He appears to have black colored pants that lead down to a pair of black colored boots.

Weapon
Onyx's weapon of choice is a sword called The Judge which is a silver colored blade with a single cross guard. It is unknown of what abilities the sword has though it does posses a dust crystal at the bottom implying that it can also use dust to combat foes. It is also possible that his sword can also have a similar effect as Olive Pine's when changing the terrain as he was able to do so during his training duel with Roz Quarzo.

Fighting Style
Onyx appears to have a slow and calculating fighting style, waiting foe his opponents to strike. He is cunning and does seem to attack straight forward rather he waits for his foes to strike and counters when necessary. As such, he appears to learn his foes and learns their weaknesses before actually attacking them and defeating them.

He also uses his size and his intelligence to his advantage as well. He uses his large exterior which normally intimidates foes and even some allies such as Damson Shade who gulped when Onyx entered the council chamber to conduct the meeting. He uses his intelligence to evaluate his foes and thus knows how and when it is right to strike or whom to send to complete the strike itself.

Other Skills
Onyx appears to be a skilled leader and is loyal and fair to those who serve him and Salem. He is also skilled in knowing whom to send and where as such he was able to know the emotional weight that would fall on Fumi Cove if Ombre attacked again in a large scale.
