Official Description
Blake Edward Richardson was a 21-year-old British 1st year university student. He suffers from cystic fibrosis. With the help of his amulet, he can wield his axe and can transform into a spirit. He was murdered in Volume 4 Season 2.

Appearance
He is shown to have short messy dark brown hair moved to the left (his right), brown eyes and fair skin with slight tan tint and light freckles. He wears a white shirt tucked in under a partially unbuttoned black rolled sleeved shirt, black jeans shown with a belt and black shoes. He is currently on oxygen like many other CF patients and brings an oxygen tank and nasal cannulas along the way. Like the other Dark Syndrome victims, his axe is shown to be translucent and red. His sleepwear consists of a white shirt and black sweatpants. He stands on 5 ft. 9 and is of average weight. Blake turns red in his spirit form.

Personality
He shows immaturity and playfulness like his peers. But gets serious while fighting Chase or helping his friends study or research. He can be somewhat clueless and naive at times and like Blake and Reece, he can be scared easily. He is also tidy as shown when he tucks in his shirt but can be messy and crazy.
