Although it complements his appearance, he can also use it in battle, wielding it like a rapier and using it as a focus to [[BarrierWarrior produce a barrier]] that can even stop the full force of a [[StoryBreakerPower Maiden's power]]. This kind of use does not require activating either the lever or cogs. [[spoiler:His original form favored a magic staff but one of his later incarnations decided to modernise the weapon into its cane form; it has remained with him through [[ResurrectiveImmortality thousands of years of reincarnation]].]]

To finish off the look, he carries a hook-handled cane that is designed to fit in with his clothing: the handle is white, the staff is black, and there is red finishing where the handle meets the staff and at the base of the staff. The staff is designed to be a weapon; he usually fences with it or uses it as a gun, but he can also use it as a club where necessary.

The silver handle of the cane has a delicate vine-like pattern flowing down it. Where the handle joins the shaft, there are cogs and a silver lever. Although it complements his appearance, he can also use it in battle, wielding it like a rapier and using it as a focus to [[BarrierWarrior produce a barrier]] that can even stop the full force of a [[StoryBreakerPower Maiden's power]]. This kind of use does not require activating either the lever or cogs. [[spoiler:His original form favored a magic staff but one of his later incarnations decided to modernise the weapon into its cane form; it has remained with him through [[ResurrectiveImmortality thousands of years of reincarnation]].]]
** Roman is a well-known petty crime lord of the Kingdom of Vale, who is dragged into the schemes of the BigBad because of his local knowledge. He is always smartly dressed in black trousers and a red-lined white overcoat. He accessorises with black gloves, a grey neckerchief and a red-banded black Derby hat. To finish off the look, he carries a hook-handled cane that is designed to fit in with his clothing: the handle is white, the staff is black, and there is red finishing where the handle meets the staff and at the base of the staff. The staff is designed to be a weapon; he usually fences with it or uses it as a gun, but he can also use it as a club where necessary.

This kind of use does not require activating either the lever or cogs.

To finish off the look, he carries a hook-handled cane that is designed to fit in with his clothing: the handle is white, the staff is black, and there is red finishing where the handle meets the staff and at the base of the staff. The staff is designed to be a weapon; he usually fences with it or uses it as a gun, but he can also use it as a club where necessary.

* ''Literature/AlexRider''. Major Winston Yu has a cane, although it's not for style or class, but simply because he's an EvilCripple can't walk without it.
* In ''Literature/TheAliceNetwork'', [[ManOfWealthAndTaste René Bordelon's]] elegant cane serves both as an accessory and to highlight the age difference between him and Eve.
* In the ''Literature/RiversOfLondon'' series, Nightingale's silver-tipped cane is also his MagicStaff.
* Resident MagnificentBastard of the Literature/{{Discworld}}, Lord Vetinari, carries a cane after being shot in the leg in ''Literature/MenAtArms''; as of ''Literature/GoingPostal'' it's described as having a silver skull-shaped knob on top, not unlike the cane carried by [[Creator/TerryPratchett a certain knighted author]].
* In ''Literature/SixofCrows'' Kaz Brekker carries a perfectly weighted black cane with a crows' head emblem. He needs it to walk, but it's also unashamedly a style accessory.

* ''Series/DoctorWho'': In [[Recap/DoctorWhoS32E8LetsKillHitler "Let's Kill Hitler"]], the Eleventh Doctor dresses in a suit complete with top hat and Sonic Cane (as opposed to his [[IconicItem Sonic Screwdriver]] which Amy was using at the time). Played with in that the real purpose, other than to look [[CatchPhrase cool]], was to [[spoiler:help keep him on his feet as he was dying from poison.]]
* While {{Series/House}} actually does need the cane, he occasionally upgrades it for a short period of time for effect.
* Nog of ''Series/StarTrekDeepSpaceNine'' walks with a plain, utilitarian cane when he [[ShellShockedVeteran experiences phantom pain]] in an injured leg even after it's physically healed.

* On ''Series/{{Hannibal}}'', Dr. Chilton survives a [[AndShowItToYou vivisection]] that leaves him needing a cane to walk. Somehow, it is hilariously fitting to the character that he begins toting a pimp cane.

[[folder:Video Games]]
* Count Bleck, the antagonist of ''VideoGame/SuperPaperMario'', has a cane (and a Monocle Of Evil, too). The character design seems to be based rather loosely on Baron Samedi of Voudoun.
* The White Glove Society (a bunch of former cannibals turned classy restaurant owners) in ''VideoGame/FalloutNewVegas''. Specifically the goons of Mortimer, who is still a cannibal and wants the society to return to its old ways. The society members all dress in tailcoats and fancy dresses and carry canes, with which two goons try to beat the Courier when they start to ask too many questions.
* Ghetsis from ''VideoGame/PokemonBlackAndWhite'' has one he stomps the ground with in his battle animation.
** Blaine in the ''Videogame/PokemonHeartGoldAndSoulSilver'' is also seen sporting one.
* ''VideoGame/TheElderScrollsIVOblivion'': "Shivering Isles" expansion has Sheogorath, the Daedric Prince of Madness. He's depicted as a bearded man wearing a classy (albeit weird) suit and using a cane with an [[EyeScream eyeball at the top]].

* ''VideoGame/{{Battleborn}}'''s Marquis d'Calibre wields one as his WeaponOfChoice. Strangely, it's held in ReverseGrip when he isn't aiming down the sights, with the back end functioning as a pistol. When he aims it, he flips it around and uses it as a SniperRifle. His [[LimitBreak Ultimate]], Bindleblast, takes it one step further and turns it into a very large ''[[{{BFG}} bazooka]]''.
* [[Music/FryderykChopin Frédéric François Chopin]] in ''VideoGame/EternalSonata'' uses one as his weapon of choice. He wields it [[CaneFu much like a saber, though it lacks an actual blade]], and also uses it as a medium for casting magic.
* ''VideoGame/SaintsRow II'' features the [[ExactlyWhatItSaysOnTheTin Pimp Cane]], a wooden-and-steel blinged-out cane that doubles as one of the hardest-hitting shotguns in the entire game. It changes your character's walk animation to a smug swagger, too.

* ''WebAnimation/{{RWBY}}'':
** [[BigGood Ozpin]] is the headmaster of [[ExtranormalInstitute Beacon Academy]] and the most politically powerful huntsman in the whole of Vale; he accordingly dresses the part, wearing a very smart dark green suit and carrying a dark, silver-topped cane. The silver handle of the cane has a delicate vine-like pattern flowing down it. Where the handle joins the shaft, there are cogs and a silver lever. Although it complements his appearance, he can also use it in battle, wielding it like a rapier and using it as a focus to [[BarrierWarrior produce a barrier]] that can even stop the full force of a [[StoryBreakerPower Maiden's power]]. This kind of use does not require activating either the lever or cogs. [[spoiler:His original form favored a magic staff but one of his later incarnations decided to modernise the weapon into its cane form; it has remained with him through [[ResurrectiveImmortality thousands of years of reincarnation]].]]
** Roman is a well-known petty crime lord of the Kingdom of Vale, who is dragged into the schemes of the BigBad because of his local knowledge. He is always smartly dressed in black trousers and a red-lined white overcoat. He accessorises with black gloves, a grey neckerchief and a red-banded black Derby hat. To finish off the look, he carries a hook-handled cane that is designed to fit in with his clothing: the handle is white, the staff is black, and there is red finishing where the handle meets the staff and at the base of the staff. The staff is designed to be a weapon; he usually fences with it or uses it as a gun, but he can also use it as a club where necessary. The weapon is designed to suit his style and his classy appearance.
* ''WebAnimation/HazbinHotel'': Alastor sports one with an old-timey radio mic at the top. Fitting for someone alternatively called "[[RedBaron The Radio Demon]]."
