- —Sgt. Night, Throwing Shade Part I
Sgt. Breaker Night is the main antagonist of Mega Man: Fully Charged. A veteran of the Hard Age, Night stands firm in his belief that robots are nothing but mere tools who should not be able to think for themselves, and that peace between human and robot kind is impossible. To that end, he begins recruiting robots who believe in robot supremacy to rebel against humanity under the pretense that he is on their side and dons the robotic disguise of Lord Obsidian to wage war on the humans of Silicon City, all while plotting the downfall of robot life in secret.
His true goal is the obtain the Mega Key, a tool under the protection of Dr. Light that has the ability to wipe the minds of robots, which he plans to use to reduce robots to the tools he sees them as.
Overview[]
Breaker Night stands opposite to Sigma from the Mega Man X series: Whereas Sigma sees robots to be the next step in the evolution of life, Night denies the idea and believes that humans are the superior species, and starts his own robotic rebellion to achieve his goals. Like Dr. Wily in his youth from the classic series, Night sees robots as nothing more than tools, and that giving them sentient thought and believing they can life side-by-side with humanity is empty optimism.
He speaks with a Southern accent.
Appearance[]
Sgt. Night is a tall human with spiky black hair, a beard, and a dark gray outfit with red trim. He has a mechanical right arm.
As Lord Obsidian, he has black spiky armor with his facial hair molded onto it, with jet blades (that can transform into laser guns) on his back and arms. His right arm is red, just like Sgt. Night's normal prosthetic arm.
Personality[]
Sgt. Night is cold, bold, defiant, and direct, but does manage a certain charm – until he's angry, then he is commanding and the militaristic barking of orders begins. He wants revenge on a world he believes betrayed him, most especially the Light family, and Mega Man. He doesn't believe that humans and robots can coexist, as he views robots as tools and considers humans superior as they created robots.
A smooth but direct villain, Night is charismatic enough to persuade followers and manipulate robot minions without the need for force. However, at the drop of a hat he changes: a would-be emperor. He knows loss and wears it like a cold suit of armor.[1]
As Lord Obsidian, he becomes the oppposite of his public persona: a robot supremacist who seeks to have humanity removed from Silicon City, though is unafraid to take over other robots for his plans or harm robots that protect humans like Mega Man.
In the season 1 finale, his true views are unveiled: a human supremacist willing to manipulate and lie for his end goal of turning every robot into subservient blank slates with the Mega Key, and states that Dr. Light's peace made humans weak.

Abilities[]
Sgt. Night is a charismatic leader who uses his persuasive abilities to rally humans to his cause and manipulate robots into doing his bidding to get humans to hate them as much as he does.
As Lord Obsidian, though, he is an insanely powerful and dangerous fighter. Aside from being very agile and able to punch and kick really hard, Lord Obsidian can replace his right hand with a huge, spiked flail, and his shoulder spikes are a pair of laser cannons that drain the energy of robots when they're hit; he wields both weapons with very high proficiency. He also has thrusters in his boots that allow him to fly. The other weapons in his arsenal are bombs that he can control and detonate at will.
Etymology[]
His surname, Night, is antonymous to and rhymes with Dr. Light's name; referencing the two's contrasting beliefs in human-robot relations.
"Sergeant Breaker" may be a play on "circuit breaker".
