Ibon

''"The Black Goat" redirects here. For''

The Black Goat, more commonly known as Ibon, is a major character and major antagonist in the Random Channels 3 lore. It/he is the deity worshipped by the former Cult (now disbanded) and is supposedly the reason behind Mae Borowski's strange dreams. Ibon is notorious for having a large role in the criminal attacks that plagued RC3 from December 2020 to early October 2021, before his final demise on October 5.

Pre-June 23, 2021
Ibon is known to have kept his eyes on RC3 as soon as November/December 2020. At this time, he recruited Noelle and Lana, among others, to join him in a drawn out criminal attack against RC3. However, Lana and a few others were killed off rather quickly. Regardless, Ibon persisted, aiding in the creation of a fake Serena clone to ruin her reputation, which did end up working. Ibon also did assist Maria Cock, though she was killed off rather quickly as well on Christmas Day 2020. At this point, the only major assistant that remained was Noelle, as Lana could not return to RC3. Ibon was also revealed to have been extremely manipulative towards Lana at multiple points. Noelle and Ibon continued creating multiple criminals, including the Proto Clones. However, they were taken out quickly each time. The criminals soon began to do worse and worse things, including murders. Some of the Lorena sisters were also influenced by Ibon/Noelle, and were led to do awful things. It was also at this time that Noelle became overlord. Over the next few months, a criminal surge began. This even included the supposed "Murder of Noelle" (though this was later proven to be a fake death), and the death of Large Pig during March 20. Although most criminals were killed on April 20, more criminals kept coming back afterwards. Early May saw the May 2 massacre, and Rachel and Karen being supposedly banned for all eternity. The rest of the month did not get quieter, especially after Karen returned a couple days later. More and more criminals continued showing up, however some good people did end up showing up as well, and some criminals abandoned their past ways of life (examples including Fuxk V (Henri) and Fucj IX (Jones)). As May concluded, Noelle won the election (later revealed to have been rigged), however on the day of inauguration, Rachel attacked the capitol, and temporarily disrupted the inauguration (this was however staged by both Noelle and Rachel). Rachel eventually was killed, and the inauguration proceeded as normal. Through the next month or so, criminal activity would skyrocket to a never beforeseen high, levels of which would never be surpassed, not even during the August Attacks led by the Fatui. Multiple murders happened, and there was also a meteoric rise in racism by the criminals. As it approached towards late June, Ibon began getting worried that a threat might come against him and his organization soon, as he noticed that some characters (including his enemies, and enemies of the cult that worshipped him) were thinking about possibly visiting RC3. He tried to dissuade them with even more criminal activity, but during the morning hours of June 23, 2021, despite his best efforts, the NITW characters joined in. Who introduced the characters is disputed between Karen and Jones, but regardless, they made their entry into RC3.

June 23-July 30, 2021
As the main NITW characters presented themselves in the universe, initially limited to Mae and Bea, Ibon moved to pull in the cultists as well, and multiple cult members made an appearance. However, their attempts at continuing their past style of life were met with miserable fails and death. Eide even ridiculed some of the members for doing so poorly. However, Eide fell victim to this himself; as Zendaya and Mae foiled his plans, eventually getting him landed in jail until the next day, June 24.
