Black Knight

Black Knight or Dark Knight (黒騎士) was a member of the Thirteen Heroes and the national hero of the City-State Alliance.

Appearance
The Black Knight's appearance was that of a knight covered in black armor. He is also considered to be of demonic descent, so some speculate that he was a half-demon by blood.

Background
The Black Knight was said to possess the blood of demons, having been stated to have been a mixed blood.

Two hundred years ago, the world was plagued with dangerous monsters known as the Evil Deities. At that time, he adventured alongside the Thirteen Heroes in search for the Evil Deities and helped to defeat them.

While the Thirteen Heroes were in the realm of fairy tales, the Black Knight was the most realistic of them due to the legacy he left in his swords.

The Karnassus City-State Alliance considers him to be their country's national hero. For unknown reasons however, his origins were covered up in the saga of the Thirteen Heroes.

The Dark Warrior Arc
The Swords of Darkness explained to Momon and Nabe their party's namesake. They stated that their group's goal is to obtain the last three remaining swords left behind by the legendary hero.

Men in the Kingdom Arc
Evileye recalled her past experience with the members of the Thirteen Heroes and that their group transcends all racial boundaries, uniting together to combat the Evil Deities. She made mentions of such members like the Black Knight who is the original owner of Lakyus's weapon.

The Invaders of the Large Tomb Arc
The workers at Count Femel's mansion discussed the potential individuals who are said to be very powerful in their own right, Black Knight was mentioned as one of the strong pure swordsmen on their list.

The Paladin of the Holy Kingdom Arc
