Appearance[]
The Namekian in Black's cloaked appearance
The Namekian in Black appears as a very tall and muscular Namekian with visible green skin that is only seen through his covered appearance. Like his fellow Warriors in Black, he hides his identity with a hooded black coat-like cloak, as well as a brown scarf to hide his mouth. He also wears black top and pants, a gray obi and pointy greyish brown boots.
After discarding his disguise, the Namekian in Black appears to have his gi that he usually wore before as Piccolo; consisting of a black gi with a red symbol resembling the clock halo that appears behind Aeos' Time Power Unleashed form and red edges over the exposed upper-chest area secured by a gray obi and wearing pointy greyish brown boots.
Personality[]
Not much is known about the Namekian in Black, but he and his fellow Warriors in Black supports Aeos' intentions. Like the main timeline's Piccolo, he has a strong bond with Gohan, as he barks combat advice at the main Gohan when he is at a disadvantage against Shroom, and offers to take the Future Gohan who also became a Warrior in Black under his wing as a disciple.
Biography[]
Background[]
Before he became the Namekian in Black, this version of Piccolo participated in a timeline much like the main one, up until the climactic battle on Planet Namek against Frieza. While Piccolo was able to fuse with Nail, he and Goku could not defeat Frieza in time.[3] Left as the sole survivor of the aftermath, Piccolo would eventually be recruited under unknown circumstances by the former Supreme Kai of Time, Aeos, joining the other Warriors in Black. He has no disciple.[4]
Super Dragon Ball Heroes[]
New Space-Time War Saga[]
After Goku's defeat of Fu, the Namekian in Black arrives through a portal to retrieve him, presumably bringing him back home to the restored Universe 7.
Supreme Kai of Time Saga[]
The Namekian in Black appears alongside his fellow Warriors in Black behind Chronoa to restrain her from attacking Aeos.
The Namekian in Black later appears on a Planet Namek-stylized arena to confront his main timeline self, Piccolo, as well as Gohan (both of whom are shocked to see another Piccolo), Golden Frieza, Frost, King Cold, Rasin and Lakasei, Bergamo, and two Yardrat warriors.
The Namekian in Black eventually joins forces with his fellow Piccolo and the others to fight against the newly revived Demon Gods Xeno Dabura, Shroom, Putine, Gravy, and Salsa. In the manga, he stands alongside Piccolo while Super Saiyan Gohan takes on Shroom, and barks at Gohan from the sidelines to be careful throughout most of his fight. Piccolo asks his counterpart if standing idly by is the best decision, but the Namekian in Black telepathically reminds him that the Super Space-Time Tournament is a means of testing each fighter's capability to survive, but due to Demigra's intrusion, he advises Piccolo to be ready to retaliate as he prepares a Special Beam Cannon. Both Piccolos continue barking advice at Gohan until he finally defeats Shroom. Gravy arrogantly rushes in to fight the group next, but - having forgotten about the Namekians - is promptly eviscerated when the Namekian in Black and Piccolo's combined Special Beam Cannons pierce through him.
Not long afterwards, Demigra is defeated, and his summoned warriors are returned to their respective timelines. At the selection arena, the Namekian Warrior gives a farewell to Gohan before taking off with Aeos and the other Warriors in Black to tour the other Space-Times.
In the manga, while flying through the Crack of Time with the Warriors in Black and Aeos after the tournament, the Namekian in Black asks the Future Warrior in Black if he wants to become his new disciple.

- Flight - The ability to fly through the use of ki.
- Ki Blast - The most basic form of energy wave.
- Black Assault (ブラックアサルト) - The Namekian in Black's Super Attack in Dragon Ball Heroes.
- Special Beam Cannon - The move is performed by touching the index and middle fingers of one hand to the forehead and charging enough ki to attack. Its speed changes to the power level of the user performing the move. When ready, the fingers are extended forward, and two thin energy beams are unleashed from the fingers. One remains straight while the other coils around the straight beam. The resulting beam is quite powerful, drilling through most targets, and exploding on the ones it can't. It can also be used with only one arm.

Having merged with the Nail of his timeline, this Piccolo also became a Super Namekian before his induction into the Warriors in Black.

Trivia[]
- In his first appearance in the anime, while cloaked he looked exactly like his partner: Warrior in Black, while the reason is unknown its possible his design wasn't finished in the time or else his appearance was hidden to make it more mysterious to the audience as other two Warriors also looked like the first one.
