Blumiere's father

"Blumiere, my son, don't! Even your ancestors could not handle that dark book..."

- Blumiere's Father

Blumiere's Father (or Count Bleck's Father) is, obviously, the father of Blumiere, also known as Count Bleck. Little is known about his father, and he is only mentioned near the end of the game Super Paper Mario; more specifically, he is spoken of in the story told after Chapter 7.

Blumiere's Father does not accept the love Blumiere expresses for Lady Timpani, for his tribe's rules only allow them to love one of their own. (Carson can optionally reveal that these rules were erected so they could keep their elite bloodline without mixing in with other societies.) In his sadness over his father's disallowing, Blumiere acquired the Dark Prognosticus so he could destroy everything (but mainly simply so he could commit suicide), thus turning him into Count Bleck. He then may have killed his own father for not letting him love Timpani.

Blumiere's Father is known to be the only known member of the Tribe of Darkness other than Blumiere and Nolrem, the latter of which is simply a descendant of the tribe.
