Well his design is probably inspired by Morien, the Black Knight of Arthurian legend. Morien got his name because he was Moorish.

The Moors ruled parts of Andalucia (south Spain) for about 800 years. So he's based off the previous gen being England and still has ties to the current gen. Also Spain is know for Toledo Steel, which is one of the strongest steels in the world & was popular with swordsmiths.

Sir Morien was often described as a heroic and noble knight, so why a vengeful ghost? Well in other Arthurian legends the "Black Knight" (Not Sir Morien specifically) is a common supernatural adversary on the various quests of the knights of the round table.

Next up Armarouge!

Well let's start off with the "MegaMan Canon" everyone has pointed out. Spain invented the gun. So...there's that. 😬

On a happier note! The most notable and well-known medieval Spanish knight was Rodrigo Diaz de Vivar, more popularly known as El Cid.

El Cid was from the kingdom of Castile, who's colors were crimson and gold. He reclaimed the Taifa of Valencia from Moorish control and ruled the principality till his death. Which makes him a good counter for Ceruledge who's based off a Moorish knight.

To this day he's considered in Spain as an ideal noble knight. Being strong, valiant, loyal, just, and pious.

So why a psychic type? I think Wikipedia actually does an excellent job of explaining it:

Let's look at Skeledirge.

The Diplocynodon is an ancient crocodile. More than 100 have been found in Catalonia. (Northeastern Spain) So the name "Skeledirge" being "skeleton" and "dirge" (which is a song of mourning) fits for an extinct animal.

Spain also had a massive and powerful navy. And was well known for its war ships. One of the most famous being the Nuestra Señora de la Santísima Trinidad. She was the heaviest-armed ship in the world when rebuilt in 1802, and had the most guns (140) of any ship of the line outfitted in the Age of Sail. Needless to say, it was a ship with a lot of "fire power". It was also described as being red with white streaks across the hull.

Also many Naval flags in Spain have red, yellow and purple on them. The same colors that Skeledirge has.

Spain was also well known for its galleons. A type of heavy armored ship that could be used for carrying cargo or as a warship. Now most of Europe had galleons from the 16th-19th century, but Spain's were known for being particularly large. They were usually armed with 60 canons and were adapted from the standard galleon design to increase cargo capacity. They were used in Spain's treasure fleets that traveled from the Americas to Europe annually. They compromised speed for size, but made up for it by having more armaments and thicker hulls. They were built to take a hit and keep on coming.

Another design of the galleon were the beaklike prows (front of the ship). Lanterns were often put at the prow to help light the way through darkness or fog.

The markings on Skeledirge's face are also reminiscent of modern day warships.
