Lord Cardinale

Lord Cardinale stalks the pages of Image Comics' Medieval Spawn / Witchblade — a 1996 limited series that transported the dark, supernatural energy of the Modern Age back into a gritty medieval world. Brought to life by the formidable creative pairing of Garth Ennis and Brandon Peterson, this villain-tinged lord shares his dangerous world with the likes of Queen Elinor, Katarina, and the Witchblade herself. With only three catalog appearances, Lord Cardinale is a rare and atmospheric figure — the kind of shadowy antagonist that makes a prestige crossover event feel genuinely dangerous.
