− | + | The Black Knight is a primary antagonist in ''[[Fire Emblem: Path of Radiance]]''. It has been confirmed that he will return in ''[[Fire Emblem: Radiant Dawn]]''. | |
=Background= | =Background= | ||
− | + | The Black Knight is [[Daein]]'s most powerful general and may have been equal in strength with [[Ashnard]]. The Black Knight's identity is an enigma, as he never takes off 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]] (back when Greil was known as Gawain) and is one of the [[Four Riders of Daien]]. | |
− | + | The Black Knight is first seen at the end of "Chapter 7: Shades of Evil", when he convinces his fellow Rider, [[Petrine]], to retreat from the Gallian forces. Afterwards he meets up with Greil and battles him to find [[Fire Emblem (item)| Lehran's Medallion]] for Ashnard. Greil was no longer capable of wielding a sword, so the Black Knight was able to finish him off. The Black Knight threatened to kill Ike if Greil didn't tell him the medallion's location, but, but he fled after he heard the roar of [[Caineghis|King Caineghis]]. The Black Knight is later seen in Chapter 11 and Chapter 24, but in those chapters he is more of something to be avoided rather than an enemy to kill. | |
− | + | In "Chapter 11: Blood Runs Red", he at first stood back and let Mackoya try defeating Ike's mercenary crew to capture the princess [[Elincia]] at Port Toha. But after Mackoya entered the battle, the Black Knight became impatient and set out to stop them himself. Ike and his friends successfully escaped. [[Ranulf]] then tried attacking Black Knight to hold him off, but [[Sephiran]] convinced Black Knight to leave Ranulf alone and not pursue the boat. Black Knight was forced to obey, because Sephiran was Prime Minister of Begnion, and King Ashnard did not want war with Begnion yet. Then in "Chapter 24: Battle Reunion", the Black Knight observed Ike's battle with several Daein forces without moving. Ike later tried to attack him, but his sword did not damage. The Black Knight saw Ike as a promising opponent, so he let Ike live and told him to bring Ragnell next time so they could have a real battle. | |
− | + | Throughout the game, Ashnard sends The Black Knight on various jobs to help the Daein Army, first capturing a Serenes royal so that Ashnard could use their galdr to revive the dark god in Lehran's Medallion. He ultimately decided to capture [[Leanne]]. In "Chapter 28: Moment of Fate", he is sent to Grados Castle and assigned to execute [[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, who brought Ragnell this time. If Ike defeats The Black Knight in four turns, he will acknowledge Ike's growth in strength, before collapsing. The soldiers then set off the traps that cause the castle to collapse in a last-ditch attempt to kill Ike's group. Black Knight, unconscious while the castle fell on him, was left to an ambiguous fate. | |
− | The Black Knight | + | In Radiant Dawn, a direct sequel to "Path of Radiance", The Black Knight returns in chapter nine of part one. He defends Micaiah and is vertually undefeatable. After meeting up with Micaiah, the Black Knight helps her and the Dawn Brigade liberate Daein. He also explains that his sword, Alondite, cannot be used to slay the defenseless. |
− | + | The Black Knight vanishes after helping defeat Jarod, but he returns to help the Daien Army defeat parts of the retreating Laguz Alliance. Again, he vanishes afterwards. | |
− | + | Much later, Ranulf belieives the Black Knight to be noneother than General Zelgius of the Bengion Empire. Having fought the Black Knight in Toha three years prior and only barely surviving a battle with Zelgius, Ranulf regrets that he could not provide proof to his claims, but he informs Ike nonetheless. | |
− | + | Ike and Zelgius enter a feirce battle in the last part of the game, Zelgius ends up losing. Ike stays by Zelgius's side in his final hours; Zelgius recalls how he looked up to Greil and that he always tryed his hardest to best his master, it became his death-wish. Zelgius wasn't surprised to find that his master crippled his sword handling arm, for he knew killing Greil was too easy. When Zelgius heard the news, he set his eyes on Greil's son, hoping to finally prove himself by besting his master's son. Ike informs Zelgius that he was happy to fight him once again, and that Zelgius has become his final teacher; Zelgius is comferted by Ike's words and tells Ike that his swordplay is as true has his father's before dying. | |
− | |||
− | Zelgius | + | It is revealed in Sephiran's "memory scene" that Zelgius's life has been filled with loneliness and shunning due to the fact that he is branded. Sephiran takes pity on Zelgius and promises to end his loneliness. |

The Black Knight's armor is blessed by the goddess [[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, but it apparently takes a toll on his body as well. |
