Lore Despite being naturally spawned in Lost Temple, Sword was taken in by Venomshank as soon as he spawned, who took him to live in Crossroads with him, and serves as Sword's mentor and guardian. Sword had a sheltered upbringing, and thus isn't aware of many major events in the Inpherno, such as having no idea about the Scorch until Darkheart tells him about it. Sword didn't have the chance to talk to other inphernals other than Venomshank until very recently in his life. He is close to Rocket, who is his best friend, and to Medkit, whom he sees as a sibling.

Sword is related to the Swords by blood, though in what way is currently unknown. Despite this, Sword has no idea that he is related to demi-deities like Ban Hammer and Flipside, on account of Venomshank telling him very little about his relatives.

He is almost always seen with his signature steel gladiatorial helmet, which was a gift from Venomshank to protect him from any dangers he may face. He is only seen taking it off to go to sleep.

Personality Sword is kind-hearted, yet naive. When he has his eyes set on a goal, he is extremely determined and will stop at nothing to achieve it.

Appearance He wears a helmet, being made of metal with openings for his horns and a mohawk in the back. His mohawk is mostly red, the inside of it gray. The mohawk starts at the very top of the helmet. On the front of his helmet, He has 2 red horns, short and curving upwards into a spike. Below his right eye, He has a scar, with 2 stitches going through it.

Around his neck, he wears a dark cape. On the cape he has a small brooch, with a grey ring and red gem. Sword sports a red tank top, adorned with multiple straps across it, and a belt at his waist. On both of his hands, He wears thumbless gloves. He wears dark black pants. He wears leather boots, of which have shoelaces.

Relationships Venomshank is Sword's mentor and guardian, raising him from spawn and training him to become a great warrior. Venomshank is seen to be very protective of Sword, sheltering him from the outside world and not informing him of critical events like the Scorch.

Sword and Rocket met through Venomshank's connection to Rocket's caretaker, Zuka. The two are best friends and are seen together in Act 1 of Death in the Family investigating Medkit's disappearance.

Sword and Medkit met soon after Medkit fled from Blackrock. Medkit found Sword in a dire state and nursed him back to health. The two of them become close, eventually coming to see each other like siblings. Sword investigates Medkit's disappearance in Death in the Family, kicking off the events of the comic.

Other relationships Sword knows Zuka and Darkheart through his mentor, Venomshank.

Sword has no knowledge of the rest of the Swords or their family, including even his own relatives, Ban Hammer and Flipside.

Interactions Ban Hammer is seen teasing Sword about his weapon, with Sword readily refuting the demi-deity's assumptions that he is weak.

Biograft is interested in Sword's fighting techniques, but finds them obsolete.

Sword tells Boombox that jazz is his "go-to" music genre.

Hyperlaser is not impressed by Sword's seemingly basic weapon, but he has a sense of respect for Sword's mentor.

Katana and Sword compare their weapons, but find solidarity in being taught by their respective mentors.

Medkit is seen begrudgingly following Sword, but expresses concern for him, being there to patch Sword up when he gets hurt. The two of them exchange friendly banter between one another.

Rocket and Sword are seen constantly chatting with one another, as best friends typically do. Sword calls them the "Dynamic Duo" and they regularly use combos that the two of them made up together. Sword apparently always makes Rocket pay when they go for a bite to eat.

Vine Staff shows concern for Sword's skills and his control over his weapon, expressing that she doesn't think an exploding sword is really that safe.

Relations

Lore Beehive, better known as Bee by her groupmates, is a rather standoffish member of the Redcliff Wranglers.

Personality Bee is the most irritable of the Wranglers, showing a clear distaste towards outsiders. She gets frustrated at the ignorance and naivety of Sword's lack of knowledge regarding The Church of the TRUE EYE, as well as holding the opinion that that the Church is full of "outlaws craving violence", contrary to Grappling Hook's more sympathetic view on the Church. She maintains a guard around her emotions, careful to not let any vulnerability slip. Despite her more aloof behavior, she displays a genuine care and want to protect the Redcliff Wranglers.

Appearance Her skin is medium-toned, and she wears a cowboy hat similar to the rest of the Redcliff Wranglers. The hat is dark brown with hexagon-shaped goggles wrapped around where the band would be. The lenses of these goggles are a honeyed yellow. Bee's horns are similar to the antennae of a honeybee. They appear with a deep brown that start on her forehead. The horns go up through the band of her hat before ending at blunt tips. Beehive uses her gear as both a storage pack and a habitat for her bees. The top compartment serves to store essential tools, such as wrenches, and the bottom compartment is designed to house her colony of bees. She has two main types of bees. The first type is the normal bee, characterized by its round shape and distinct wings. The second type is the spy bee, which is notably smaller than the other bees.
