Silver Palace Dichotomy Beta Test Trailer: Every New Character in Black Knights' Tango

The "Black Knights' Tango" trailer that headlines the Silver Palace Dichotomy Beta Test is packed with faces — some we already know, some we've only glimpsed, and a few who are completely new. This breakdown goes through every character who shows up in the cut, separating what's actually confirmed from what's still fan guesswork.

Quick answer: The trailer mixes returning characters (Rex and Alf), characters whose identities are known (the Male Detective "The Raven's Beak" and Red Rose), one figure seen in earlier promos (the Bunny Knight), and three brand-new designs — a girl with a riot shield and spectacles, a woman with a whip, and maids tied to a reactor. One important caveat up front: this list deliberately excludes characters who were already playable in the January Monotype beta, so it's the new-to-the-trailer cast, not the full roster.

A note before we start: Silver Palace is still pre-release, so most of these characters have no confirmed element, rarity, or kit. Where something isn't official, we say so. Treat every "likely" and "appears to be" below as a read of the footage, not a datamined fact.

Returning faces

Two characters in the trailer are already familiar from earlier Silver Palace material.

• Rex — back again in the Dichotomy cut. A recurring presence rather than a new reveal.
• Alf — already in our character roster. Alf is the M.I.S.S maid known as No. 49, an Ignis (Fire) unit who fights with a flamethrower. She was documented during the Monotype beta coverage, so her appearance here is a returning face, not a debut.

Characters we can already name

These two aren't brand-new, but their identities are known well enough to put a name to them.

• The Male Detective — "The Raven's Beak." The hat-and-coat detective who opens much of the trailer's framing. The Detective is the protagonist archetype of Silver Palace (see the roster for the playable Detective), and "The Raven's Beak" is the alias attached to this male incarnation.
• Red Rose. A named character with an established identity. She reads as a deliberate, high-billing reveal rather than background dressing.

Seen before, still mostly a mystery

• The Bunny Knight. This armored, rabbit-eared knight has shown up in past trailers, so the Dichotomy cut isn't her first appearance. The popular fan reading is that she's tied to Cynthia II — possibly her bodyguard or personal knight. That connection is unconfirmed: it's a fan theory based on staging and styling, not anything Elementa has stated. Worth flagging, not worth treating as canon.

Brand-new in the Dichotomy trailer

Three designs here have no prior appearances and no confirmed identities yet. This is the genuinely new cast.

• The girl with a riot shield and spectacles. A defensive-looking design — heavy shield, glasses — with no announced name, element, or role. A Guardian-type silhouette, but that's an inference from the kit she's carrying, not a confirmed identity.
• The woman with a whip. A new character wielding a whip as her signature weapon. No confirmed details beyond what the footage shows.
• The reactor maids. A maid (or maids) built around a glowing reactor/lantern apparatus. Given that the established maid characters — Alf (No. 49) and Argos — belong to M.I.S.S, the strong fan read is that these reactor maids are also M.I.S.S units. That's a reasonable inference from the shared maid motif, but it is not officially confirmed.

Why this trailer matters

The Dichotomy cut is doing more than showing off art. Its tagline — "when gravity turns, so too does the tide of offence and defence" — frames the test around shifting allegiances, and the character lineup leans into that: detectives, knights, and maids who could plausibly sit on either side of a fight. If you want the practical side of the test itself — sign-up dates, PC requirements, and the data-wipe rules — read our Dichotomy Beta Test guide. For what the game actually plays like, the Monotype beta recap covers the systems and the full playable cast from the first test.

We'll update this page as Elementa confirms names, elements, and roles for the new designs. Until then, the safe takeaway is simple: the trailer adds at least three new characters to the Silver Palace world, and the maid/knight threads suggest M.I.S.S and the existing cast are central to the Dichotomy story.

FAQ

Who are the new characters in the Silver Palace Dichotomy trailer?

The Black Knights' Tango trailer introduces three brand-new designs: a girl with a riot shield and spectacles, a woman with a whip, and maids built around a reactor. It also features returning characters Rex and Alf, named characters the Male Detective ("The Raven's Beak") and Red Rose, and the previously-seen Bunny Knight.

Is the Bunny Knight the same as Cynthia II?

Not confirmed. The Bunny Knight has appeared in earlier trailers, and a common fan theory is that she's Cynthia II's bodyguard or personal knight. Elementa hasn't officially linked them, so treat it as speculation.

Are the reactor maids part of M.I.S.S?

Likely, but unconfirmed. The known maid characters — Alf (Maid No. 49) and Argos — are M.I.S.S units, so the reactor maids sharing the maid motif points the same way. There's no official confirmation yet.

Are these trailer characters playable in the Dichotomy beta?

Unknown. The trailer reveals their designs, but Elementa hasn't announced which of them are playable in the Dichotomy Beta Test. The test is a small-scale, under-development PC build, so the roster may differ from the final game.

What is the Black Knights' Tango trailer?

It's the official trailer cut for the Silver Palace Dichotomy Beta Test, themed around shifting allegiances. See our Dichotomy Beta Test guide for sign-up details and PC requirements.
