Personality[]
Unlike other villains who are driven by orders, perfection, trauma, or revenge, Black Scapolite is motivated by chaos, destruction, amusement, and to bring out the worst qualities of others. He claims that his motivation is that he's against Pink Diamond/Rose Quartz for her crimes, but this is more of either a lie or a secondary motive for his actions. This is shown by how he almost tried to shatter Pink/Rose/Steven's gemstone while coldly walked away laughing while he was dying.
He is a cruel, sadistic, cold, ruthless, heartless, murderous, remorseless, unrepentant, psychotic, and vicious gem who uses his lie to make Pink pay for her crimes as a justification for his actions. He also has a dark and twisted sense of humor and can be very hypocritical when it comes to his actions and motivation. He's also very intelligent and cunning.
Black Scapolite is also usually very calm, cool, stoic, manipulative, charming, deceptive, falsely noble and affable, and nearly emotionless. He's able to use these traits to play his enemies right into his hands. At the same time, though, he can be very cocky, traitorous, and pompous to the point of laughing at his opponents' suffering and going back on his word when making deals with others.
He can also be very nihilistic and wanting to know why Steven would even think about reforming or forgiving others, including the ones who've hurt or even tried to kill him and those around him, especially the other Diamonds. He does have a lot of fortitude when he's under attack, though he does get surprised and shocked when caught by a near non-avoidable attack.
History[]
Many eons ago, Black Scapolite was created from the darkest planet in the edge of the galaxy during Era 1. Using different and abandoned resources for unknown reasons, he became more masculine instead of feminine like the other gems that were created after him. Once he was created, he worked as an high-ranking instructor on the colonization process who was later given his own Sapphire.
However, due to being created from a dark and foreboding planet, he deeply enjoyed the destruction, death, and chaos of expanding the colonization process and wanted to continue the process in order to satisfy his amusement forever.
Personally finding the reason to expand a perfect empire instead of creating chaos and destruction boring, he wished he could leave the empire on his own and do things his own way without getting shattered.
After receiving visions from his Sapphire about the future in order to quench his sadistic thirst, he was soon intrigued when he finds out about Pink Diamond's future crimes and decided

Pink Diamond[]
Black Scapolite has a false hatred for Pink Diamond due to knowing all of her crimes and secretly decided to shatter her in order to make her pay for her future crimes through any means, not for justice, but for his own amusement and psychological torture.
When the other Diamonds found out about his attempts to shatter Pink Diamond, they decided to get rid of him by trying to shatter him for his treason.
Steven Universe[]
Black Scapolite is Steven's most evil and most dangerous enemy and one of the only ones who not only rejects his attempts to redeem him, but make Steven resent him due to his remorseless, murderous, and heartless nature when he admits that he isn't sympathetic or heroic, but pure evil and enjoys it very much just because, even admitting that his hatred for Pink Diamond/Rose Quartz was all a lie. Steven surprisingly even says that he is worse than White Diamond ever was by comparison.
The Crystal Gems[]
The Other Diamonds[]
Trivia[]
- Black Scapolite is the darkest, most evil, and most dangerous antagonist in the entire Steven Universe franchise due to his pure evil and hypocritical personality and the fact that he has the most irredeemable crimes out of the other villains. He poofed and tried to shatter the Crystal Gem's gemstones for amusement and for getting in the way of his plans, tried to psychologically torture Steven into going into his monster state so that he can control it, and absorbed the other Diamonds and his allies' powers in order to become all-powerful and cause as much chaos and destruction as possible before being defeated and killed for good.
- Despite being very evil and sadistic, he serves as a great and cautionary moral example of how not everyone can be redeemed. As well as how some enjoy being evil and are either just born evil or are just too far gone to be redeemed.
