???

??? is a strange being who appears to Knight at the beginning of the game upon finding Baby. He instrusts Knight that he must return the baby to its mother, or else all things will fall to darkness. He appears to be an angel or something similar. He also appears to have bunny ears (or at least, that's what most fans say). After Knight takes Baby to the Cave of Fear, as instructed by the mayor, ??? appears once more in a dream, repeating his instructions,and prompting the search for Baby.

??? also appears to Celestia after the battle with Karmine and the release of Xizan. After Baby, Knight, Darkbeat, and Ibkee depart, ??? appears to console Celestia, reassuring her that they will be alright.
