At the town's museum, Wikles thanked the gang for bringing the Black Knight ghost statue to him. He then tells the gang that they shouldn't have with the mysterious disappearance of the professor, and because of the legend that the Black Knight coming to life at the full moon.
He was eventually unmasked as the Black Knight, once the gang found out what his scheme at the museum was after they suspected him. He was working on counterfeit paintings and switching them for the real ones at the museum. Because Professor Hyde White was the only one who spotted the fake paintings Wikles made, he kidnapped the professor and made up the legend of the Black Knight to cover it up. During his forgery scheme, he would put on a suit of armor and scare people away from the museum.
