Four Imperial Knights

Four Imperial Knights (帝国四騎士) are the strongest elite military unit of the Baharuth Empire, whom serve as the private guard of the Emperor, Jircniv.

Background
Each of the four knights is recruited by Jircniv to serve as his personal guards, regardless of their backgrounds or history, provided that they possess exceptional fighting skills. As a result, each of them has differing attitudes and abilities. Even their degree of loyalty to their liege varies between each individual.

The Four Knights are tasked with carrying out the Emperor’s will. In terms of authority in the Imperial Army, they would be considered equal to the rank of a general.

One of the Four Imperial Knights ,Nazami Enec, confronted the intruders in the Imperial Garden which results in them being slaughtered by Mare's spell that cracked the earth.

The Magic Caster of Destroy Arc
Twenty knights, along with two of the three remaining Four Imperial Knights, escorted Emperor Jircniv and Fluder Paradyne to Nazarick in order to apologize for the invasion caused by Count Femel.

The Ruler of Conspiracy Arc
Two of the Imperial Knights, Baziwood and Nimble were accompanying the Emperor for the secret meeting with the Slane Theocracy diplomats as part of the plan to conspire with defeating Ainz.

Strength
The Four Imperial Knights are specially trained elite soldiers of the Baharuth Empire. Armed with lightweight mythril armor and weapons made of adamantite, they are the empire's strongest.
