Bacht

Bacht (バハト, Bahato) is the Swordsman of Immortality (不死身の剣士, Fujimi no Kenshi) and the main antagonist of Kamen Rider Saber Theatrical Short Story: The Phoenix Swordsman and the Book of Ruin. He was once sealed away in the eponymous Book of Ruin (破滅の本, Hametsu no Hon), which he seeks to use to make the world and Wonder World disappear.

Bacht utilizes the Eternal Phoenix (エターナルフェニックス, Etānaru Fenikkusu) Wonder Ride Book in conjunction with the Haken BlaDriver (覇剣ブレードライバー, Haken Burēdoraibā, Supreme Sword BlaDriver) and unsheathes his main weapon, the Mumeiken Kyomu (無銘剣虚無, Unmarked Sword Void) transformation sword, from the BlaDriver to transform into Kamen Rider Falchion (仮面ライダーファルシオン, Kamen Raidā Farushion). While transformed, he gains nihilikinesis.[51][24]

Bacht is portrayed by Masashi Taniguchi (谷口 賢志, Taniguchi Masashi).[51]
