Black Bats
CharacterThe Black Bats are a militant resistance group featured only in the film The Sacred Star of Milos. Led by Miranda, they take their name from the bat-like gliders and dark suits their fighters use to strike down on their enemies from above.
Appearance
True to their name, the Black Bats outfit themselves to resemble bats in flight, soaring on gliders fitted with bat-style wings while dressed in matching black suits. Their banner, the flag of Milos, doubles as the emblem of the group.
Personality
The Black Bats function as a militant organization rallied around their leader, Miranda, fighting from the fringes of the film's conflict. Their whole identity is built on aggression and airborne mobility, letting them swoop in quickly rather than confront their foes head-on.
History
The Black Bats appear solely in The Sacred Star of Milos, coming to blows with Edward, Alphonse, and the Werewolf Chimeras over the course of the film. Their ranks include Miranda, Julia Crichton, and a fighter named Vatanen, as well as Atlas, who infiltrates them while disguised as Ashleigh Crichton before ultimately turning against the group.
