Black Cloak | comment |
One of the oldest required dress codes by the Forces of Darkness. A Black Cloak villain sometimes even refers to himself as "Evil" or "Dark". The higher-up Black Cloaks may be supernatural beings patterned after The Grim Reaper. Lesser Black Cloaks are often cultists of some kind belonging to a Secret Circle of Secrets or Religion of Evil. The black cloak may have sleeves (making it technically a robe). A hood that conceals the face is often a required matching accessory. Often Black Cloaks will wander around in public. Nobody ever seems to question the people who are obviously concealing their identities. As with Stormtrooper armor, it's very easy for good guys to steal the uniform and walk around undetected in enemy territory, at least for a little while. Wearing a black cloak also signifies if a hero is dallying with The Dark Side, or is an Anti-Hero. This is sometimes paired with a Malevolent Mask for extra creepiness. Can overlap with Ominous Opera Cape. A Sub-Trope of Evil Wears Black. See Good Colors, Evil Colors. Contrast Villain in a White Suit. |

Mostly inverted in The Matrix where the good guys were identified by their distinctive black leather trenchcoats. On the bad guys' side, The Twins in particular not only wore white trenchcoats but were themselves albino. And it fits within the setting considering the main characters are computer hackers and other varieties of Internet geeks, who of course are going to give their avatars cool outfits with long flowing black cloaks. |

Naruto: The Akatsuki have painted very stylish red clouds on their Black Cloaks, which, in a minor subversion, don't come with hoods (though they do have conical straw hats). And for the Akatsuki members who have died, when "Kabuchimaru" revives them with Edo Tensei, he so very thoughtfully provides them all with hooded black cloaks, playing the trope dead on. There's a recent couple of panels in the manga in which Sasuke and Tobi are just sitting around in a tea house with no disguise other than a black robe. Seriously. The new evil organization in Boruto, Kara, wears black cloaks. |

Skeletor is depicted this way, especially in He-Man and the Masters of the Universe (2002). In the newer version he spends half of the first episode just in a black cloak with his face hidden in the shadows, presumably for dramatic effect, even though everyone watching knows exactly who he is and approximately what he's going to look like. |

A Practical Guide to Evil: Most of the attendees of the Dread Empire's court wear the flashiest, most spectacular clothes they can imagine, with jewelry and hairstyles to match... except for Black Knight Amadeus and his apprentice Catherine, who wear unadorned plate armor with black cloaks, and so stand out "like crows in a flock of birds of paradise." Later on, Cat takes to sewing a strip of the banner of each enemy she defeats to the hem of her cloak, and also binds the soul of her most hated enemy to it, which gets the cloak nicknamed "the Mantle of Woe." |

Shannara: Many villains in this series. The Warlock Lord and his Skull Bearer lieutenants from The Sword of Shannara, their successors the Mord Wraiths from The Wishsong of Shannara, and the powerful demon called the Reaper from The Elfstones of Shannara are the most traditional examples. In The Heritage of Shannara, the Seekers (an organization that is actually a front for the Shadowen) usually wear these as part of their uniform, but their leader Rimmer Dall actually usually keeps his hood down and face visible, in contrary to most examples. In The Voyage of the Jerle Shannara, the Ilse Witch and her mentor the Morgawr wear hooded grey cloaks that convey the same general look. | |

Highlander: One episode of the series had Duncan being attacked in his dreams by a Black Cloak. He went to a mystic who specialized in this, who gave a lot of psychobabble about the darkness within, and told Duncan not to fight it and try to understand it. It turned out that the mystic was the Black Cloak, and it was a scheme to get Duncan to drop his guard. | |

Harry Potter: Both played straight and inverted. As in real life, black is as much of color of functionality as identification, and not restrained by moral alignment. Hogwarts students wear black robes and cloaks as their school uniform. Snape always wears one, even at balls and parties. The Dementor's black cloak is all we ever actually see of them; when Harry asks Lupin what's under the hood, he's told that no-one knows for sure, because the only time they lower their hoods is when they suck out someone's soul through their mouth. When they try to Kiss Harry, he sees an Eyeless Face with a toothless, sucking mouth. In Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them, a creature known as the Lethifold is described as resembling a fluttering black cloak. Found only in tropical climates, Lethifolds are extremely dangerous, as they can easily suffocate and then consume their victims before said victims - who are usually sleeping - even realize what’s happening. The only defense that works against Lethifolds is the Patronus Charm. Voldemort and his Death Eaters typically dress in black, though this is as much about practicality as anything, given that they conduct most of their activity at night or in the shadows (both literally and metaphorically). |

The Kingkiller Chronicle: The Anti-Hero protagonist Kvothe receives one from a powerful Fae, woven from shadows and moonlight and imbued with defensive magic. He can also resize it with a thought, which he finds rather handy. Haliax, the Faceless leader of the Chandrian, wears a hooded black robe when Kvothe sees him. It's redundant, since his body is shrouded in impenetrable shadow even in full sunlight, but even omnicidal Time Abysses need to keep the rain off. |

The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion: The uniform of the Black Hand, the elite leaders of the Dark Brotherhood assassins, is a blood-stained, hooded black robe that confers several stat buffs. Necromancers wear floor-length black robes prominently marked with the sigil of their cult, the Order of the Black Worm. Mages Guild members get quite upset if they see the player character wearing one — an obvious drawback of a secret society having a uniform. |

The Cult of the Damned, as well as Putress, from World of Warcraft. In fact, most cultists in the game, including the Twilight's Hammer and mortals serving the Burning Legion. Best to say that anyone rocking the Black Cloak look in the game is not the sort of person you invite over for tea, even if they're technically on your side. Putress' attire is actually the warlock tier 8 armour set. Warlock armour often goes for this look. |

In The New Adventures of Invader Zim, members of the secret society of gamers whom Gaz encounters in Episode 18 all wear hooded black cloaks. Their leader the Grandmaster of Gaming spices things up a bit by having gold trim on his. In Episode 19, Norlock suggests Zim wear one of these, along with a red ceramic mask, as a disguise when he starts building his rebellion against the Empire, in order to create a mystique that'll gain the attention of his potential followers. |

Knights of the Old Republic: Darth Revan sports one of these, as well as a face-concealing mask, hakama-pants, and complex armor. Darth Nihilus's costume is all in black and also includes a hooded cloak; Traya as well. Most other Sith in those games aren't quite so concealed - Dark Jedi mooks have hoods and cloth covering their noses and mouths, but no capes. Of course, the real reason for Darth Revan's mask was that he/she's your player character and you're not supposed to find out about that just because of a few visions. |

Dracula: In his journal entry for 12 May, Jonathan Harker sees the count climbing face down the wall of the castle like a lizard, "his cloak spreading out around him like great wings." Its color isn't specified by Harker; black is likely given Dracula's sartorial choices elsewhere in the novel. Lampshaded in "Love at First Bite." | |

After High Lord Akkarin's exposure as a Black Magic user followed by an Outside-Context Problem-level band of foreign black magicians invading when they learned the Guild's protector was gone, the Guild recognised that hostile black magicians were way above the Godzilla Threshold and allowed their surviving black magician member, Sonea, to teach the art to another, gave them both black robes, and made the High Lord wear white robes instead. | |

Game of Thrones universe: Game of Thrones: Completely inverted with the Night's Watch, who are mockingly called "crows" by the Free Folk due to their attire. The men of the Watch wear black as a sign of renunciation, eschewing all loyalties to family name and political factions in favor of protecting the realm as a whole. Joining up is colloquially referred to as "taking the black". While actual Night's Watch members can span the whole moral spectrum, their black clothing and role as protectors does put them firmly on the side of righteousness. This is in sharp contrast with the aptly named White Walkers, beings of snow and ice who seek to conquer everything in their path and bring endless night to the world. Most of Daenerys' outfits in Season 7 (and some in Season 8) are black cloak-like dresses with Shoulders of Doom. House of the Dragon: When Daemon Targaryen returns to the Vale to murder his Unwanted Spouse Rhea Royce, he wears a black cloak. The criminals sent by Larys Strong to murder his father Lyonel and brother Harwin wear black cloaks as they execute that task (by burning the castle). |

The Lord of the Rings: The Ringwraiths, or Nazgûl, are one of the most iconic examples. Tolkien also justifies it, since the Wraiths are without bodily form in the real world, existing only in the spirit world. They wear the cloaks to "give their emptiness shape". They can also wear armor, turning into Animated Armor, as the Witch King demonstrates in the siege of Minas Tirith, but that is hardly practical when you're travelling incognito. The reason they're black is just that Sauron has an aesthetic. | |

Raven from Teen Titans (2003) is technically heroic, but as a half-demon destined to destroy the world, she qualifies as "dark". Perhaps ironically, when she is corrupted by a dragon trapped in an ancient tome, she switches to a white cloak. She also wears white when she's gone reclusive and insane in a Bad Future. Light Is Not Good much? But to counterbalance these, she also wears white after she takes down Trigon and restores all the petrified people to life. She also wears white when she unites the disparate parts of herself to take down Trigon within her own mind. White symbolizes her having attained "full power" or something like that. There's probably a psychological aspect to it, Raven being psychic/magical and all. Also white is the color of light before refracted by the atmosphere and divided into color. |

In his progression from innocent farmboy to Jedi Knight, Luke Skywalker started in a white outfit (A New Hope), underwent most of his training in a grey flight suit (The Empire Strikes Back) and wore a black jumpsuit under the traditional brown robe when he proclaimed himself a full Jedi Knight (Return of the Jedi). Also, at the end of RotJ, note that he comes to the celebration at the end with the front of his tunic partly unzipped... resulting in a patch of gray, surrounded by the dark. (The comics and novels that take place afterward state that he had stained himself with the Dark Side quite a bit by then, but they were primarily written after the fact and may be considered a Retcon.) | |

In Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them, a creature known as the Lethifold is described as resembling a fluttering black cloak. Found only in tropical climates, Lethifolds are extremely dangerous, as they can easily suffocate and then consume their victims before said victims - who are usually sleeping - even realize what’s happening. The only defense that works against Lethifolds is the Patronus Charm. | |

The Wheel of Time: The shadow-walking Humanoid Abomination Myrddraal wear black cloaks that don't move in the wind. The countries near Mordor tend to outlaw hooded cloaks and other face-concealing clothing because of this: they want to double-check that everyone is human. | |

The Death Gate Cycle: Several characters and organizations wear them - the Kir Monks, Sinistrad, the necromancers of Abarrach, and sometimes Lord Xar. Not all these characters are evil, but all have some connection to death or darkness (such as the Kir, a True Neutral religion of creepy but largely harmless death-worshippers). | |

The protagonist's disguise in Code Geass involves a helmet that completely hides the face and a black cloak. Though it remains a mystery whether he really is a good person, or is just wanting power for himself. As of the series finale, he is officially a good guy - one might even call him "Christlike..." For obvious reasons. | |

Game of Thrones: Completely inverted with the Night's Watch, who are mockingly called "crows" by the Free Folk due to their attire. The men of the Watch wear black as a sign of renunciation, eschewing all loyalties to family name and political factions in favor of protecting the realm as a whole. Joining up is colloquially referred to as "taking the black". While actual Night's Watch members can span the whole moral spectrum, their black clothing and role as protectors does put them firmly on the side of righteousness. This is in sharp contrast with the aptly named White Walkers, beings of snow and ice who seek to conquer everything in their path and bring endless night to the world. Most of Daenerys' outfits in Season 7 (and some in Season 8) are black cloak-like dresses with Shoulders of Doom. |

Chanur Novels: The Always Chaotic Evil kif all wear hooded black robes. Being completely color blind they used to wear robes whose color was just determined by whatever color fabric was cheapest, until a mahendo'sat merchant, as a practical joke, sold some kif fabric with patterns made from violently clashing garish colors, causing those kif to lose face when laughed at by non-color blind species. The thing is, in kif society losing face can be deadly, so to avoid such a thing in the future all kif decided to wear black, since they can tell the difference between black and non-black. | |

"The End of the World" has a group of Black Cloaks who, at one point, seem to be behind the Evil Plan; however, they're really a decoy for the true villain. "The Beast Below": The Winders, Starship UK's creepy police, wear these to hide that they have Smiler faces on the back of their heads. "A Good Man Goes To War": The Headless Monks sport these. |

Tyrael from Diablo is a brown cloak, and oddly enough, he's one of the good guys. Although the brown-cloaked figure seen in the cinematics is actually Baal pretending to be Tyrael. And he's definitely not one of the good guys. And there's the Dark Wanderer, dressed similarly in almost black, although he doesn't much bother to hide his face with the hood. Maybe because it's not his, anyway. |

In Nomine: The Archangel Dominic is well known for wearing a black cloak that conceals all and even blocks perceptive supernatural powers directed at him. Whether he's a Knight Templar, a genuine good guy with a really hard job (he's the Archangel of Judgment, responsible for keeping the angelic host free of corruption) or secretly outright evil is up to the individual GM. | |

Rodrigo Borgia in Assassin's Creed II, for most of the story, sports a cloak with a hood covering his head. His face is not entirely concealed, but it gives his eyes a sinister glow at times that make him look like a male version of Kasumi Goto. He stops using it after he becomes Pope Alexander VI. | |

Like in the books, the ringwraiths of the '77 adaptation of The Lord of the Rings wear the "robe" variant. Once they fall for the old "pillows under the sheets" trick in Bree, they throw them away for Animated Armor to show that they mean business now | |

The Riftwar Cycle: Comes at this trope from both sides. To the Kingdom of Isles, the black-robed Tsurani magicians were the most horrible monsters, maintaining the portals that made the war possible and occasionally bringing their unheard-of power directly to the battlefield with terrifying results. On the other side, the magicians were hardly evil and considered themselves loyal citizens, selflessly serving their empire (which itself isn't The Empire after all). And the black robes weren't meant to be ominous - it's just their uniform. | |

Kingdom Hearts: This is the uniform of Organization XIII, though they tend to pull down their hoods and show their faces unless they're being intentionally mysterious. Said coats have darkness-resistant properties, and while Organization XIII mostly just wears them for the effect, characters such as Riku and Mickey wear them to protect their hearts from being worn away by the darkness. The first appearance of the coat was in the first installment, where it was used both in the game's secret ending and a secret boss battle which originally appeared only in the Japan-exclusive version. In both cases, the coat's purpose was to obscure characters who lacked a finalized design, and at the time its appearances were non-canonical. This would change as the cloak became a staple of the series's aesthetic. Oddly and ironically enough, Roxas is explicitly told that Organization members should keep a low profile, and make attempts to not be noticed. Odder still is that the kids of Twilight Town don't seem to find anything suspicious or off about a teenage boy their age wearing a black cloak, or that two people in black cloaks (one an adult, and the other the aforementioned boy) are interrogating them. Of course, from every game after II, every character that's meant to have a mysterious, unknown identity has worn these cloaks, so as to keep a vibe of confusion around the entire series, whether it makes sense for them or not, such as Data Riku and Young Xehanort. Kingdom Hearts χ reveals that the cloak was first worn by the Master of Masters, the original Keyblade Master. He may have even been the one to invent the design. |

Assassin's Creed has a few characters in long black garb. Rodrigo Borgia in Assassin's Creed II, for most of the story, sports a cloak with a hood covering his head. His face is not entirely concealed, but it gives his eyes a sinister glow at times that make him look like a male version of Kasumi Goto. He stops using it after he becomes Pope Alexander VI. Ezio can also do this if you dye his clothes black in one of the shops. Altair's Armor is also a black coat of sorts. Assassin's Creed Syndicate: Jacob and Evie Frye's Assassin Robes are black by default. |
