During the game, he summons the [[Chaos Heart]] by forcefully marrying [[Princess Peach]] to [[Bowser]] and uses it to open [[The Void]], which has the power to destroy all dimensions. He also leads a troop of minions, with its primary members being [[Nastasia]], [[O'Chunks]], [[Mimi]], [[Mr. L]], and [[Dimentio]]. | ||
His name, "Bleck", is normally used as onomatopoeia for disgust, but can also be interpreted as a corruption of "Black", referring to darkness (his Japanese name is a play on the French word for "black", ''noir''.) His real name is likely a portmanteau of ''blue'', referring to his color, and ''lumière'', the French term for light and a reference to his status as a member of the [[Tribe of Darkness]]. | His name, "Bleck", is normally used as onomatopoeia for disgust, but can also be interpreted as a corruption of "Black", referring to darkness (his Japanese name is a play on the French word for "black", ''noir''.)

When Mario and Tippi reached the inner sanctum of [[Castle Bleck]], Bleck and Tippi once again argue before he sends Nastasia away and engages Mario in a battle. Bleck is initially immune to all attacks due to the Chaos Heart, but Bowser, Peach, and Luigi grant the Pure Hearts the power to negate the barrier. After Bleck is defeated, he insists that Mario [[Game Over|end his game]] before the Void destroys all worlds, against Tippi's wishes. | When Mario and Tippi reached the inner sanctum of [[Castle Bleck]], Bleck and Tippi once again argue before he sends Nastasia away and engages Mario in a battle.

Dimentio then takes control of the Chaos Heart, and plans to use it to create a new world in his own image once the old worlds are gone. He banishes Bleck, Tippi, and Nastasia to [[Dimension D]], intending to deal with them later, and merges with a brainwashed Luigi and the Chaos Heart to form a giant body called [[Super Dimentio]]. At Dimension D, Count Bleck is reunited with O'Chunks and Mimi, whose love for Bleck manages to restore the Pure Hearts to weaken Super Dimentio and allows Mario and his allies to defeat him. Before his death, Dimentio manages to leave behind a "shadow" of his power, which will ensure all worlds will end as revenge for his death. As he is aware of the urgency of the situation, Count Bleck returns everyone to the chapel where the Chaos Heart was born, and he and Tippi exchange vows and wed each other. The true love between them supercharges the Pure Hearts, uniting them into the [[Purity Heart]] that destroys the Chaos Heart and reverses the prophecy of destruction. | ||

Count Bleck's motives in the game are mostly caused by the sadness of losing Timpani. At the start of the game, he seems to be a villain with no feelings who wishes to end all worlds due to the power given by Dark Prognosticus. As the story progresses, his sympathetic traits are revealed and reasons are given to his actions. | |||
Prior to his meeting with Timpani, Bleck was known to be extremely kind and cherished all life and the universe itself. When he met Timpani, he fell in love and was extremely caring and devoted to her, but when his father sent Timpani away to travel through dimensions till she dies, Bleck began to feel vengeful towards the world and thought life was worthless without her. This caused him to seek the destruction of all worlds, and he shows his vengefulness by wiping out his own dimension. Bleck has a hatred against all worlds and sees them as the things that took his love away from him, which he continues to think until being defeated. | |||
In spite of his insistence that Blumiere was dead, Bleck still shows redeeming traits. When he teleports to [[Bowser's Castle]] to reveal that he had captured Princess Peach, he bows and "politely" introduces himself. He also shows respect and care for his minions. During the Prologue, Mimi states being with the count is her idea of a perfect world and Bleck says he will make his minions' dreams come true. He gives Mimi a gift of power during the events of Chapter 2 and his minions happily take their missions to stop Mario and his allies. He also allows his minions to leave at any time, even with his blessing, as shown during the post-Chapter 3 intermission. Additionally, he never seems to be upset with his minions when they fail, and leaves the punishments to Nastasia, who only gives harmless ones anyway. He is frightened when Nastasia takes a hit from Dimentio for him and he is flattered when his minions also assist him with restoring the Pure Hearts. Count Bleck constantly refers to himself in third person and deviates from this trait when he is alone and after he is beaten. His habit of narrating himself indicates he may be quoting the Dark Prognosticus's text. | |||
