Backround
The Black Knight is Daien's most powerful general and may be equal in strength with Ashnard. The Black Knight's identity is an enigma, he never takes of his armor and his real name is never spoken. The only information of The Black Knight's past is that he was once a pupil of Ike's father, Greil and is one of the [[Four Riders of Daien][.
The Black Knight is first seen at the end of chapter 7, he is seen in a cutscene after the chapter where he kills Griel, but he flees before killing Ike after he hears the roar of King Caineghis. The Black Knight is later seen in chapter 11 and chapter 24 but more of something to be avoided rather than an enemy to kill.
Throughout the game, Ashnard sends The Black Knight on various jobs to help the Daien Army, like capturing Leanne and exacuting Ena. The Black Knight however, does not land a clean blow on Ena after he states that he will make her death "swift and painless", he then does battle with Ike. If Ike defeats The Black Knight in four turns, he will acknowledge Ike's growth in strength. if Ike fails to defeat The Black Knight in four turns, Nasir will sacrifice himself by setting off traps in the castle and bury himself and The Black Knight in debris.
Abilities
The Black Knight is an extremely powerful warrior, easily dwarfing King Tibarn in strength and matches Ashnard's. The Black Knight's armor is blessed by the goddiss Ashera and can only be damaged by blessed weapons. He has an assortment of blessed items such as his sword Alondite, and his Arcane Powder which lets him teleport at will.
