Here's what the card says and my question may be dumb but here goes:
As an additional cost to play Pawn of the Black King, discard a Checkmate character card and exhaust a location you control.
Target character loses all team affiliations and cannot have team affiliations other than Checkmate this turn.
Now my question is if the targeted character (specifically a Checkmate character) loses all affiliations first then do they still have no affiliation and can only gain the Checkmate affiliation later. Thanks in advance for your responses!
That is correct. The character loses all affiliations, including the Checkmate one. The character cannot gain any affiliations other than Checkmate, such as through an Image Inducer or Detective Chimp's effect for the raminder of the turn.
