The Black Knight is a primary antagonist inFire Emblem: Path of Radiance. It has been confirmed that he will return in Fire Emblem: Radiant Dawn.
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 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 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, like capturing Leanne and executing 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.
