Cyborg Knight

"Analyzing. Processing. Converting. Conversion Complete. HEY kids! Nice to meet'cha. Good to see we got child soldiers and some traumatized victims of war with us today, because this is gonna serve as a nice warning and reminder to why you make very poor life decisions!"

- Cyborg Knight expressing glee Cyborg Knight (サイボーグナイト, Saibōgu Naito), also known as Dark Gaia (闇ガイア, Yami Gaia), is, as her name implies, a cyborg with Machias implants, rebuilt by the Magic Council as part of an attempt to create their own Machis soldiers, being the prototype herself, due to being a mechanic and the one to spearhead the project. Known once as "Maria" (マリア, Maria), she used her position as the head scientist to get resources from the Magic Council for her project, using them solely on herself as the prototype in order to "avoid needless sacrifice".

The end result gave birth to "Cyborg Knight", who used her newly found power and enhancements for her own gain, due to a strong belief in the superiority of machines over humans. As a result, Maria, now going by "Cyborg Knight" or "Dark Gaia", became a wanted criminal, famed as vicious and destructive, but also intellectual due to her past as a scientist.
