Black Clover is a traditional boys' manga serialized in Weekly Shonen Jump, with a wizard-themed theme. In the world of Black Clover, a demon was about to destroy the world, but one wizard defeated it and became known as the Magic Emperor. The title of Magic Emperor has since been passed down through the generations, and under the Magic Emperor, nine groups of magical knights called the "Magic Knights" were created. In this article, we will introduce the abilities and characteristics of the leaders of these Magic Knights.
What are the Magic Knights?
The Magic Knights are a group of magic knights serving the Magic Emperor. There are nine of them in the Clover Kingdom. Their goal is to protect their country at the risk of their lives, but each group's abilities and areas of expertise vary. The Magic Knights are given missions by the Magic Emperor, and as they achieve great things in battle and dungeons, they are awarded "stars."
Black Bulls
The Black Bulls are a Magic Knights organization whose symbol is a cow and whose symbolic color is black.
Before Asta joined, they were the Magic Knights with the fewest stars, and were said to have the lowest number of stars in history. All members of the Black Bulls were disliked because they all had some kind of problem or flaw in their abilities.
Yami Sukehiro
Yami Sukehiro is the leader of the Black Bulls. He is characterized by his muscular body, messy, unruly hair, and always looks half-asleep. Although he is lazy and often makes unreasonable demands, he is trusted by many. Originally from a foreign country, he was adrift and washed up on the Clover Kingdom while out fishing with his father.
Yami Sukehiro's Abilities
Yami Sukehiro's magical attribute is darkness. He fights using a large sword, which he infuses with dark magic to make up for his lack of speed. Yami Sukehiro can also use his sixth sense to read "ki," the breathing of all things. By reading ki, he can predict his opponents' movements.
Golden Dawn
The Golden Dawn is a Magic Knights organization whose symbol is the sun. Their symbolic color is gold, and they are considered the strongest of all Magic Knights. They also consistently rank first in the annual star count announcement ceremony. While only elite members of aristocratic descent were allowed into the Golden Dawn, Yuno was able to join due to his talent and the fact that he possessed a grimoire containing a four-leaf clover.
William Vangeance
William Vangeance is the leader of the Golden Dawn. He always wears a mask bestowed upon him by the Wizard Emperor. However, beneath his mask lies a black birthmark. He possesses such powerful abilities that he is considered the leading candidate to become the next Wizard Emperor. He has a ruthlessly calm and collected personality.
William Vangeance's Abilities
William Vangeance's magical attribute is the World Tree. He can absorb magical power to grow trees, even creating a World Tree that covers an entire town. In fact, he is also Licht, the leader of the terrorist group Eye of the White Night, revealing his true nature.
Crimson Lion Order
The Crimson Lion Order is a magic knight order with a lion as its symbol. Its symbolic color is red, and many members of the Fuegoleon family join the order. The Crimson Lions have a strong track record, having only ever ranked first or second in the number of stars they have acquired. However, their performance has declined since Fuegoleon Vermillion's injury.
Fuegoleon Vermillion
Fuegoleon Vermillion is the captain of the Crimson Lions. He hails from the Royal Nobles' Realm and, despite his high status, has a kind and generous personality, treating those of lower status such as Asta as equals. His physical features include long orange hair and piercing purple eyes, and he bears a diamond-shaped mark on his forehead that is passed down through the Vermillion family and can only be worn by those who are determined to overcome themselves and become king.
Fuegoleon Vermillion's Abilities
Fuegoleon Vermillion's magical attribute is fire. He is a skilled and versatile magic user, capable of attacking with a lion created from flames and defending with a vortex of flames called "Ignis Columna," a fire-creation spell. However, he lost an arm at the hands of the Eye of the Midnight Sun.
Silver Wing Eagle
The Silver Wing Eagle is a Magic Knights Brigade symbolized by an eagle and featuring silver as its symbolic color. It is a Magic Knights Brigade with many highly skilled members, consistently ranking highly in the number of stars.

Blue Wild Rose

Charlotte Roseley is a descendant of the Roseley family, a high-ranking aristocrat. In fact, she has a crush on Yami Sukehiro, and while she acts cold towards him, she also feels nervous about speaking to him.
Charlotte Roselei's Abilities
Charlotte Roselei's magical attribute is roses. She can freely manipulate roses and use them like a whip.
The Emerald Mantis Brigade
The Emerald Mantis Brigade is a magic knight corps with a praying mantis as its symbol and green color. Since no characters other than the leader of the Emerald Mantis Brigade have appeared, it is unclear what kind of corps it is. However, given that it ranks roughly 6th in terms of star rating, it may not be very strong.
Jack the Ripper
Jack the Ripper is the leader of the Vermilion Mantis Squad. He has a fearsome appearance, characterized by his reptilian-like face and large mouth. He has an aggressive personality and loves destruction. He isn't very talkative, but he views Yami as a rival.
Jack the Ripper's Abilities

Lil Boismortier's Abilities
Lil Boismortier can transform magical power into paint. She materializes the converted magic by painting pictures, unleashing a variety of attacks.

Geldor Poizot
Geldor Poizot is the leader of the Shion Shachi Corps. He is characterized by his stout physique, a black mask around his face, and a two-block hairstyle. He has dyed his hair in a number of illegal acts, which has led to his connection with the Mystic Eye of the Midnight Sun.
Geldor Poizot's Abilities
Geldor Poizot's magical attribute is transparency. By making his body invisible, he can penetrate all magic. However, while he can make his appearance invisible, he cannot erase his ki, so Asta, who can read ki, can read his location.
