Count Bleck

"Bleh heh heh heh heh. Bleck!"

- Count Bleck

Count Bleck (real name Lord Blumiere) is the main antagonist in the game Super Paper Mario. Count Bleck is responsible for bringing forth the Chaos Heart by forcibily marrying Princess Peach to Bowser, which he uses to open The Void in order to engulf the universe. He leads a troop of minions to help move along his plans, including Nastasia, O'Chunks, Mimi, and Dimentio.

Count Bleck's Plot
It is slowly revealed in vague flashbacks that Count Bleck (when he was only known as Blumiere) originally had a girlfriend, Lady Timpani, whom he cherished and loved. Before the plans for marridge were able to work, Timpani vanished, leaving Blumiere gravely heartbroken. Inconsolable and unable to find her, Blumiere turned to the pages of the Dark Prognosticus. He sought to destroy everything that took Timpani away from him and create new and perfect order. Renaming himself Count Bleck, he gathered a troop to help to put his plans into motion.

When Count Bleck learned about Tippi and her similar descriptions to Lady Timpani, he suddenly felt regretful for opening The Void, for he realized that he had found her. But still, Count Bleck couldn't close The Void for he was still in control of the Chaos Heart, which he believed would be destroyed only if its owner perished. He then decided that upon the destruction of the universe, he wouldn't rebuild a perfect one, he would only have it erased from existence forever (thus allowing his own castle to be obliterated as well).

When Mario and Tippi confronted Count Bleck, the count attempted to destroy them using his magic. However, the power of the Chaos Heart was negated using the power of the Pure Hearts, allowing him to be defeated and left weak, frail, and hopeless. Wanting to die because of his evil deeds for opening The Void and putting his love in serious danger, he asked Mario and Tippi to finish him off. But Tippi forgave him for she still loved him, and couldn't do it. It was here that Dimentio took control of the Chaos Heart, imprisoned Tippi, Count Bleck, and Nastasia in Dimension D and tried to destroy the universe himself. Tippi and Count Bleck re-established their love, and with the help of O'Chunks and Mimi, the Pure Hearts were restored, and Dimentio was defeated. In order to banish the Chaos Heart and close The Void, Count Bleck and Tippi demonstrated the true love they possessed and married.

What exactly happened to Lord Blumiere and Lady Timpani afterwards is a mystery, although it is said that they both alive and happy somewhere unknown.
