Blados

Blados (スペード Spade) is an antagonist in Golden Sun: Dark Dawn. Together with Chalis, he is one of the commanders of a secretive military nation named Tuaparang. It is currently unknown whether he is an Adept or, if he is, what element he's aligned with.

Blados is described as a warlike swordsman, known in his homeland as "the Blade," and stands before Matthew and company at various points in the game. For a currently unknown reason, he and his country contact Matthew's group and seem to make use of the protagonists.

Spade, his Japanese name, likely refers to the playing card suit of the same name. This is supported by the spade symbol that adorns his armor and greaves. His English name refers to the equivalent suit of swords or blades in the Minor Arcana of tarot.
