So looks like three characters Shade, Ranger, and now Fey Knight. And maybe Croctopus.

I hope atnaia approves. My guy is basically a detective that's good with martial arts. But a sentimental moralist too.

A detective? Sounds like your character couldn't have a clearer motive to investigate Yellowsash's death.

Considering his death could possibly be magical in nature, I can see how that suspicion could lead your guy to mine...

Considering its from space and yours are generally hellish, I don't think so. But maybe.

My guy is a mercenary who after multiple heroes and villains alike are killed, gets worried for his own safety then it evolves.

We already know it's from space? Damn, that kinda takes away the mystery.

Anyhow, I wouldn't consider fey to be hellish or demonic in nature. I'm thinking more along the lines of how it's portrayed in Berserk. Naturistic and chaotic, and morally gray.

So while Ranger is neutral evil, Shade is neutral good, and knight is either lawful neutral or true neutral.

If we're using those simplistic alignments, then I'd consider Fey-Knight to be neutral evil. He is after all a villain actively seeking the death of his archnemesis, the hero Archmagus.

Can we make his archenemy one of the preexisting heroes instead, like Dr. Wyrd or something?

Cosmic doesn't mean from space in a comic book. It signifies a certain power level. Like Galactus.

Can't find much on him in your dispatch, but if he's also a magic-themed superhero, then yeah I guess.

Note that my original intention is for Fey-Knight's nemesis to be struck down during a fight with the former, like Yellowsash, placing Fey-Knight into a brief existential crisis until he decides to repurpose himself to discover what's causing the mysterious deaths, or to stop whatever turns out to be behind them. Is that still possible even if it's this Wyrd fellow?

Wyrd isn't male. Way to assume gender kiddo. :P

"Dr. Wyrd II (Jasmine Wyrdman): The daughter of the original Dr. Weird, she inherited her father’s talent for magic but none of his responsibility. She used her powers to place herself in a life of luxury. When one of her father’s old enemies, Shaitan the Terrible, destroyed her home and life by framing her for murder, she fell into a rage and tracked down the villain and killed him. The IFA caught her and she was cleared of the original charges. However, the murder of Shaitan was still on her conscience. While he was a creature from another plane and she could not be persecuted for his death, she still felt responsible. Pulling Shaitan’s soul from the other side, she bound him to her, where he will mock her until she has performed 10000 acts of penance."

That's not the kind of archnemesis I'd envisioned for Fey-Knight. I was thinking something along the lines of Doctor Strange or Doctor Fate: a noble magic-user with great spirit, not an emotional murderous wreck.

She fulfills the Dr. strange role in this world. She isn't an emotional wreck anymore: she accepted responsibility for her actions and is trying to make up for her sins.

I suppose she'll do fine then, if we can still have her mysteriously stricken down, otherwise my guy won't have much reason to associate himself with the heroes.

Unless, of course, the villains of our tale can work together with whatever's doing the striking.

So Im thinking croctopus has a rooted hate for mirrors as he hates the monster he has become both literally and ethically. He always was rational but after braking hid own ethical code searching for a cure he has slowly started to hate the man that resides under his scaly skin and wretched face. His usually focused ideology and systematic way of disaster planning is often disturbed by his own perception of himself; throwing him into a blind hysterical rage.

Your post... It started off so good then turned really dark.
By the way how do you think Knight would react to Ranger, what would he think of him?

That would depend entirely on what situation they run into eachother. I doubt they've ever met eachother before, considering their vastly different lines of work.
