Formerly a nameless farmer, Wyald succumbed to the dark forces of the world sometime before the main story. During his imprisonment in Midland's gaols, he is enlisted with the other prisoners to form a special unit called the Black Dog Knights. Wyald is named the group's leader.
The Black Dog Knights are ordered to kill Griffith who has been freed from his torture by the renegade Band of the Hawk. Wyald is a bumbling leader, falling victim to many of the mercenaries' traps; even his Apostle form is defeated swiftly by Guts. He feigns his death before stripping the crippled Griffith bare. Wyald wants to find Griffith's Behelt and enact the Eclipse—the dark sacrificial ritual to become a near omnipotent evil entity—to save himself. While the Band of the Hawk are demoralized by Griffith's naked and emaciated figure, Wyald is fatally impaled by Zodd so that the true owner of the Behelt can use it for himself.
Wanting more power, Wyald orders his Black Dog Knights to hunt down a member of Talon, Doomfist.
For both methods, you must fight Wyald at the Sanctum of the Count. Alternatively, you can avoid clashing with him by wishing for him from Black Star Shenron, or purchasing him for 500 Smash coins in the Smash Store. After defeating Wyald, wishing for him from Black Star Shenron, or purchasing him from the Smash Store, the announcer will say "Someone else has joined the Tourney!" after a Smash Ball appears on the lower-right corner of the screen with a message saying "You can now use the apostle leader of the Black Dog Knights, Wyald! He's about Enjoy and Excite the game!" He will be seen left of Sumo Kong, right of Azazel (Marvel), below Atrocitus and above Friesia.

In this form, he becomes a lot stronger and more durable. He will also gain new moves.
