Biography
Nightingale or King Nightingale, was the original leader and creator of the Fifth Element. The rebel group of ex-cultists that formed during the Order/Collective war.

His true identity is Kai Bakken(from universe B). Though he abandons much of his former self when he became Nightingale and only kept his cunning intellect of cultist knowledge, combat skills and leadership. The true difference between the two is that Kai is less likely to threaten someone. When he does, he doesn't follow through on his words. Nightingale, however, can become a cold killer when necessary and fears no one.

He has been called the "proxy hunter" due to Nightingale's hatred towards the Collective and Slenderman.

He typically sports a leather jacket, along with a grey hood and blue bandana masking his face.

Fifth Element members have called him a God-like figure because he has defied death multiple times.

Motive/Goal
Believes that all cults that worship/dedicate themselves to the Slenderman are evil and have become the largest threat that the world has ever known. Operating with the Fifth Element, he uses his contigent to take down Collective and Order operations in the mid-west United States.

The reasoning and symbolism of Nightingale and the Fifth Element can be found in literature.  In Greek and Latin poetry, the interpretations of the Nightingale fall into FIVE categories:
1. His Myth/Legend - Kai(B), who started out with the Order, began gaining historical value to hold true to his name.

2. The Song - Kai is given a higher role in the cult that allows him to spread his word.

3. The Bringer of Happiness - Kai is able to uplift the spirtits in the Order.

4. The Praise of a Higher Force - Kai eventually peaks in his loyality to the Order and the message of Slenderman.

5. Enlightenment of the Mind and Soul - Kai learns the truth behind the madness he brings about. He forever changes his mind and begins a new path onto a grey area of his life where he eventually is enlightened to bring about the Fifth Element.
