King Bery

King Bery is the father of Ebony and Noir, as well as the previous ruler of Ebonclan (Beryclan) before Ebony took over.

His name is based on the word "Berry", specifically Blackberries and the fact Shadowlings are usually themed around it.

Personality
Bery is a kind guy, very peaceful and orderly as his species has been for years. He does his best to assist others, and attempts to understand where everyone is coming from whenever there is a dispute regarding the clan and its rules/wellbeing.

Powers
Other than his standard Shadowling powers, Bery has the ability to communicate via other's dreams, though this still takes up a decent amount of energy. He is really only capable of existing and speaking in the dream, and cannot harm people or interact with the surrounding unless it is with his own creation (if he were to summon a shadow staircase, he could walk up that, but if there was an already existing staircase in the dream, he'd have trouble). Most of the time, he can set the setting to a more blank room to make it easier, but these dreams are capable of being corrupted into Nightmares against his own will. He can still attempt to revert it back to a dream, but it's been getting harder with old age.

Role
Prior to Splatroad, Bery ruled over his clan in peace, eventually passing his throne down to Ebony when he was around 14.

Bery is not physically introduced until way later in Nightroad, when Prince passes out from fighting Omnoir with the others and falls into a deep sleep. He greets Prince, and explains everything to him. He had previously tried to contact Rider, but Noir had corrupted all his dreams into nightmares, explaining Rider's issues at the start of the story. Bery and Prince leave off on a peaceful note, and then he isn't brought up much more after that.

Extras
- In Nightroad, he references Professor Oak from the Pokemon Series.
