Blackout’s species were decedent of Kuros, but weren’t Kuros themselves. They’re corporeal beings when out of their dimension (dream realm), and are directly connected to the darkness, no matter what side they’re on in Blackout’s case. They don’t have bones, therefor no Kuronium, which makes them Kuros (in the Kuros’ eyes anyway). Yoldahr are still *technically* Kuros in a sense as their fangs are Kuronium; however they have no Gods and live barbaric lives. Blackout’s own clan had long forgotten they were tied to the Kuros as they had forsaken Suancae’Meith (Kurosian Goddess of Nightmares/Dreams), their creator.
Blackout’s story pretty much starts during the Trap Team story arc, when he gets to meet and talk to the Lost Queen. She recognizes him for what he is and is able to tell him about how his kind originated, and if he tried, he could possibly re-connect with the Gods again and gain all new abilities (if the Gods were ‘awake’. Suancae was effected and nobody can reach her plane of dreams). Knowing his place he finds himself in a similar position as Cynder among the Skylanders, at least to himself, others treat him no differently as he’s not a Kuros like Cynder is, especially one so directly tied to the Queen.
While he believes that he, himself, needs to fight for good as it’s in his own nature to want to protect the innocent. But upon learning how the Kuros saw themselves in a far, far bigger picture that he ever imagined his own kind did, he felt a similar pull to help bring the Kuros back to truly fix everything. Cynder feels that, but also feels a stronger need to stand up for her mother where Blackout usually stays very, very quiet.
