Black Knight	comment	An enigmatic warrior, clad head to toe in armor black as night, which he is never seen without. Usually ridiculously powerful, he is feared by all who know of him. Wielding a sword, speaking in a low monotone or sinister growl, and looking totally badass while doing it, he is almost always a major antagonist. Commonly fills the role of The Dragon in fantasy stories. The Hero probably has a score to settle with him. The mystery surrounding his true identity is often a main plot point. Given his armor, he can show up and fight in The Tourney without betraying it. Sometimes there's nothing but the suit of armor. Sometimes, they're even a girl. A Black Knight is usually found in settings in which a Knight in Shining Armor is also present. Frequently, they revel in combat. A common subversion is that they're not actually evil, but merely a Self-Proclaimed Knight. The trope name comes from the black knights of feudal Europe, men who would paint their armor and shields black for a number of reasons. One reason to do this was because they had no liege, making them analogous to Rōnin Samurai. The black paint prevented the armor from rusting, which made life moderately easier for knights without a squire.note Having no squire may also explain why such knights are portrayed as never taking off their armor: it's really hard to get all that on and off without help! A more sinister motive for the paint was to disguise who it was they served. A knight could move freely and serve his lord's wishes without bringing him blame by painting over his coat of arms, one of the few ways to reliably identify someone in full armour and a helmet. This is Older Than Print, going back at least to Arthurian Legend. Note that, in its original usage, a Black Knight was not necessarily villainous, though he was dishonorable, which in the Middle Ages was barely a step up. Note that, although being a black knight, this character is still a knight. This places them rather high among the list of potential candidates for Dark Is Not Evil, or at least a sympathetic form of villainy. While that can take a variety of forms, they rarely are the Knight in Shining Armor. More likely, they can be anything from a Knight in Sour Armor to a Noble Demon. This character very rarely is a total villain, but also only rarely The Hero. If they are villainous and end up fighting another bad guy, the chances that they are A Lighter Shade of Black in that situation are extremely high. They might also be the holy, chosen guardians of The Sacred Darkness or a Magic Knight who uses that power alongside their sword. A Sub-Trope of Evil Wears Black. A Monster Knight has a high chance of being a Black Knight. If the Black Knight is in service to a female villain, then it may be a case of Dark Lady and Black Knight. Compare Tin Tyrant, which applies this trope to an Evil Overlord character by giving them a Scary Impractical Armor (though the armor itself may not be literally black). Contrast The Paladin. Not to be confused with that Sonic the Hedgehog game, although it's also part of this trope. For the pinball tables by Steve Ritchie, click here. Or the hit single by Deep Purple (this one is called "Black Night"). And not necessarily The Dark Knight.

Black Knight / int_10ddd3d5	comment	In many games, The Darknuts are portrayed in this fashion, though they do come in different colors. They excel at swordfight and have a high defense. Unlike the Iron Knuckles, Darknuts inflict less damage with their attacks but are much faster and more agile, and those traits increase when you get rid of their armor. They aren't important in the plot, but the strongest variants do appear as minibosses, like in the Temple of Time from The Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess or a duo of Mighty Darknuts in Hyrule Castle from The Legend of Zelda: The Wind Waker, and their difficulty makes them very imposing when you have to fight multiple ones later on. A confrontation with three or four at once even serves as the aforementioned games' strongest optional fights, awaiting in the respective Multi-Mook Melee dungeons. Ganondorf seems to be inspired by this trope in the latter game, since he has similar armor and a similar sword to the Darknuts, although he is first and foremost an evil king rather than a knight.

Black Knight / int_1181960d	comment	TearRing Saga: Zeek the Dark Knight. Formerly a knight of Barge who was captured and enslaved by the Zoans during their conquest and eventually emotionally broken into serving among them, he eventually defects to your side. Except not. In reality he's a Fake Defector and actually a Zoan himself, albeit an Anti-Villain as he was really enslaved and tortured as a child because he was a Zoan. He's one of the game's best units and is a Lightning Bruiser. You also recruit Sun and Mintz, two members of the Canaan Black Knights, though Sun doesn't start out in the Black Knight class and has to promote from her mediocre Rook Knight class first. In addition, the two of them are about as far away from the typical Black Knight personality as you can get; Mintz is a Cool Old Guy Knight in Shining Armor while Sun is New Meat and a Genki Girl.

This knight is a soul-eating golem built out of the corpse of a former mute murderer, built to protect his creator's daughter. As such, despite his menacing appearance he's hardly evil, but you end up having to fight him anyway, after the protagonist kills his ward while under the influence of an evil mask.

Black Knight / int_1a4b3ea2	comment	Digimon LOVES this trope: The first example was arguably BlackWarGreymon, a dark version of WarGreymon. He was conflicted about his purpose in life which often brought him into conflict with the Digidestined, but it became ultimately clear than he was an honorable being. Beelzemon of the Seven Great Demon Lords is more of a dark knight decked out in biker clothing than Satan or Beelzebub. Its profile describes him as "cruel and merciless, yet exceedingly prideful" and that he never attacks the weak. The Fusion version has a more knight-like appearance. Koichi's Human spirit form, Löwemon, is an excellent example of this. He wore armor black as midnight and was (at the time at least) by far their strongest warrior, but he was as noble a hero as the rest of them, making him an example of The Sacred Darkness. DarkKnightmon from Digimon Fusion combines this trope with Magnificent Bastard and awesome theme music. Other digimon fit the Black Knight trope that haven't appeared in an anime include: ChaosGallantmon, a demonic version of Gallantmon, and Gaiomon, a samurai version of BlackWarGreymon.

Black Knight / int_1ad4fe9a	comment	Might and Magic VI has a category of enemy creatures that fits well here, being dark-armoured beings identified as knights in name. Even the weakest variant, the Death Knight, is relatively powerful, and the strongest, the Cuisinart (presumably named for their ability to slice and dice enemies) can be pretty darn scary at the level you're expected to start facing off with them, and not just because they have Fear as a special ability.

Black Knight / int_2192aeb3	comment	Fire Emblem: Shadow Dragon and the Blade of Light has Camus, leader of the Sable Ordernote literally Black Knights in the original Japanese of the Grustian army. An Anti-Villain who only fights the heroes out of loyalty to his kingdom, he is widely regarded as the most powerful warrior alive. Fire Emblem Gaiden and its remake, Echoes: Shadows of Valentia: Zeke, a knight who works for Emperor Rudolf but joins Alm's group after they save his girlfriend and partner Tatiana. He has black armor contrasting with his blond hair, is implied to be a Shell-Shocked Veteran, keeps his calm and noble behavior even when he's briefly Forced into Evil, and is quite badass. He is the Not Quite Dead Camus — but he has Trauma-Induced Amnesia after barely surviving said supposed death. He joins Alm's cause not just for Tatiana's sake, but because his liege and benefactor Rudolf told him to help "a boy with a mark in his arm", aka Alm. If he lives to the end of the game, his endings confirm that he recovers his Camus memories... Berkut, nephew to Emperor Rudolf and heir apparent to the throne of Rigel. He's a young, arrogant and very powerful paladin with black armor, Eerie Pale-Skinned Brunette looks and one Hell of a Right Makes Might mentality, which leads him to clash with Alm and his group constantly. And learning that Alm is the Hidden Back Up Prince, Rudolf's true son and The Chosen One leads him to complete insanity. Mystery of the Emblem has Sirius, a mysterious masked knight who is actually Camus once again, having returned to Archanea one last time to clean up some unfinished business. In Genealogy of the Holy War, the second generation of characters has Ares, the son of the first generation's legendary knight Eldigan. He sports black-ish armor with (in official art) a black cape, wields the demon blade Mystletainn, holds a grudge against Seliph, and starts out as a mercenary serving the enemy (and eventually defects). His lineage can be traced back to Hoðr, one of the Twelve Crusaders and also a heroic Black Knight. Path of Radiance and Radiant Dawn: The Black Knight happens to hit nearly every single characteristic associated with this trope. He looks badass, sounds badass, wields a huge sword, his literal Plot Armor, never at a disadvantage with normal bowmen, is always accompanied by ominous music, is the second-in-command to the two different Big Bads of both the game and its sequel, survives having an entire castle collapse upon him and is the catalyst for the hero's quest of vengeance. His identity is heavily implied through battle and text in Radiant Dawn, and is ultimately revealed a few chapters before his helmet comes off as General Zelgius. The Black Knight's compatriot General Bertram is also a classic Black Knight. Dressed all in black armor and riding astride a black horse, he speaks only in hisses, has a Mysterious Past that is only hinted at, is armed with the life-draining Runesword, and keeps his face concealed behind his visor. In the sequel he's revealed to be Princess (now Queen) Elincia's Uncle/Geoffrey and Bastian's mentor, Prince Renning, who had been Brainwashed and Crazy after being given a Psycho Serum by the Mad Scientist Izuka. Bastian keeps him locked away as he desperately searches for the cure, and he's ultimately saved by the Herons' Galdr of Rebirth. Fire Emblem: Awakening has Cherche's son Gerome, who gives himself an image of darkness in his black armor and has an aloof, stoic demeanor towards everyone. (In reality, Gerome is an awkward Ineffectual Loner who deeply misses his dead parents but emotionally distances from their younger selves.) On another note, this game introduces a class called "Dark Knight", which is a mounted unit that can wield swords and Anima tomes. Fire Emblem Fates: Corrin/The Avatar is a rare example of a Black Knight being the protagonist, at least if they choose to side with Nohr and promote into the Nohr Noble class. On top of getting a sweet suit of ebon armor, they also become a Magic Knight with the ability to use Tomes to cast spells. Rather unusually for a Black Knight, however, the Avatar in Conquest is exceptionally kind and heroic, being exceptionally compassionate and going out of their way to spare as many combatants as possible. Furthermore, Xander and Leo are also clad in ebon armor, and like a Nohrian-aligned Avatar, are just as heroic as any other Knight in Shining Armor. Additionally, Xander plays it more straight than most for wielding a BFS called Siegfried, while Leo is mainly a Magic Knight who's more proficient in casting spells with Brynhildr than fighting with swords. The Avatar's older Nohrian sister Camilla counts too, being a Magic Knight (called "Malig Knight") who rides an undead wyvern and is capable of using tomes in addition to axes (though she's more proficient in axes than tomes). She's arguably also a better fit personality-wise than her two brothers and the Avatar, since while she is deeply devoted to her family, Camilla has absolutely no problems killing anyone who threatens them since her family is really her only priority. Fire Emblem: Three Houses: The Death Knight is a grim reaper-themed knight clad in spiky black armor and a horned skull mask. He wields a scythe and is rumored to be responsible for kidnapping people in the dead of night. He acts as The Dragon to the Flame Emperor, who is a major antagonist in the Blue Lions route. He also has a close personal connection with Mercedes (being her younger brother, Emile) and singles out the main character, Byleth, as a worthy opponent. Dimitri could count as one in the Blue Lions route after the 5 year time skip. He goes from an earnest, idealistic teenager to a bitter and vengeful Blood Knight. He speaks with a raspy snarl and will stop at nothing to rip Edelgard's head from her shoulders. The black armor he wears post-timeskip lends itself well to the Black Knight aesthetic.

Black Knight / int_26a33287	comment	Mount & Blade: You can actually be a black knight, with some editing of the equipment list. A full set of black armour is on said list, but not marked as "sellable", meaning you won't find it unless you change the relevant flag. The black armour is the strongest and heaviest in the game, and you can wear it while riding the best horse in the game, an armoured charger, which is black. Black knights themselves used to roam the lands in older patches, but got removed because they kicked everyone's ass, even the kings' themselves. As having a king taken prisoner by a random black knight tended to throw the game seriously off balance, they had to be Dummied Out. The ''Native Expansion'' mod adds them to the game as a faction that will invade the game's map after a certain time (between 30 to 200 in-game days) to take over Calradia.

The graphics are too primitive to make out if they wear fancy black armour, but these bandit lords in plate armour are some of the most dangerous foes you face that aren't supernatural beings. Armed with a great sword, they can do a world of hurt to your front-line and if you don't have any potions to hurl at him or a gun to shoot him with, your best bet is to have one person parry his attacks while the others exhaust him by banging on his armoured carcass before finishing him off.

At least at first — after a Heroic BSoD and discovering The Power of Love he lightens up a bit, but still wears the spiky black armour and wields the sword infused with the power of the underworld. As he's a playable character, he could be the poster boy for Dark Is Not Evil.

He quickly proves unbeatable, and it comes down to him and Goofy in the finals, where the contest, due to outside circumstances, ends up being a kind of game of skill Goofy had been playing with before the story began, which revolves around trying to keep a small metal pebble spinning on a rope as long as possible.

The meme is best exemplified by Highlord Darion Mograine however. And... you know... the... um... Black Knight. And Arthas in the original War Craft III and the expansion. The World of Warcraft Black Knight deserves special mention for being every bit as persistent as the Monty Python and the Holy Grail Black Knight, only much deadlier. He first shows up as a human member of the Cult Of The Damned assassinating participants at an Argent Dawn tournament. You unmask him, defeat him and end up having to kill him. Unfortunately, he is resurrected as a Death Knight and serves as a boss in the Trial of the Champion. So you kill him again. Think you got him this time? Nope, his flayed skeleton rises back up for another run. Then you destroy that. Think it's finally over? Nope, you still have to kill his ghost. Only then are you rid of him for good.

While the heroes are an order of knights with Elemental Powers, Calibur wields the powers of darkness and betrayed the order 15 years prior to the start of the series. There are actually three Caliburs over the course of the series, all of whom betrayed the order in succession but are revealed to be sympathetic Anti Villains; as their sword gives them visions of Bad Futures but they all carry the flaw of Poor Communication Kills and not trusting their fellow knights to help avert those futures: The first Calibur, seen in the backstory, foresaw a threat within the order and used underhanded methods to draw it out, making himself look like the villain in the process. The second one defeated the first, saw the same visions of corruption, and didn't know who he could trust; so he became the new Calibur and started attacking the order from the outside. Then after he's defeated, a third knight takes up the identity and deals with the visions by trying to De-power the other knights before their powers are misused.

Black Knight / int_58f5f234	comment	For Honor: The entire faction of Knights, so this is going to crop up. Conquerors are conscripted criminals who managed to rise above the rest of the rabble and belong to no knightly order, wear 11th century Crusades-era armour, and wield a flail and heavy shield. Lawbringers, on the other hand, despite their noble-sounding name, are medieval Judges who wear massive, heavy plate-armour based on Spanish designs, and carry halberds as their weapon, and are one of the more annoying classes to fight due to their grapple-heavy playstyle (being thrown off ledges to your unceremonious death is a not uncommon fate when fetching up against Lawbringers). Any Knight character can be made a literal Black Knight by unlocking the "Dark Iron" material in character customization that turns a Knight's armor black, and any Knight-even the Warden, the most stereotypical "heroic" Knight character-can fight as dishonourably as they want to win matches. Certain colour schemes also encourage this look. In the story mode however, there is Apollyon, the commander of the Blackstone Legion. A veteran Action Girl Social Darwinist who towers over most other characters in the game, wears a badass cape and black, skeletal-like armor, wields a BFS and has a unique fighting style, Apollyon seeks to keep the war between the Legions, Warborn and Chosen going forever in order to allow the "wolves" of each faction to rise up in an endless Forever War. Despite being killed by the Orochi at the climax of the story mode, Apollyon almost gets her wish, and the war continues for another six years before peace talks are even attempted by representatives of the three sides. Her second in command, Lawbringer Holden Cross, the player character Warden from the Knights chapter, and the Warden's Conqueror friend Stone also fit since they too wear the black armour and black and yellow livery of the Blackstone Legion but discard it for the brighter armour of the Iron Legions when they abandon Apollyon and form a resistance movement against her.

Black Knight / int_5afbc0cb	comment	Undertale: Played with by Undyne. She wears menacing black armor with an incredibly creepy-looking helmet◊, and is accompanied by an incredibly sinister theme throughout her appearances. Compared to the antagonists you've had to face so far — the motherly Toriel who only opposed you "for your own good" and the bumbling Papyrus who couldn't find it in himself to kill a fly, much less a person — she comes off as a dread-inspiring Knight of Cerebus who is deadly serious in her mission to take the protagonist's SOUL even as her reasons for doing so and her very nature remain a mystery. The game is so intent on painting her as an inexorable, unstoppable force that for your first encounters with her, you cannot face her directly at all, only run from her as she hurls waves upon waves of projectiles at you. This continues until she finally unmasks herself. It turns out her true personality is a Hot-Blooded Large Ham and the cold and dispassionate demeanor is an (ultimately unsuccessful) attempt to remain stoic, serious and professional as befits the leader of the Royal Guard.

Formerly a loyal knight of King Vendrick, he was cast out from Drangleic for daring to criticize his king's actions and ultimately came in contact with Nadalia, the Bride of Ash. Becoming enraptured by her due to their shared suffering, he ultimately chose to become her eternal protector, and defeating him is required to retrieve the MacGuffin within the DLC.

Black Knight / int_67ce5a04	comment	Fire Emblem Fates: Corrin/The Avatar is a rare example of a Black Knight being the protagonist, at least if they choose to side with Nohr and promote into the Nohr Noble class. On top of getting a sweet suit of ebon armor, they also become a Magic Knight with the ability to use Tomes to cast spells. Rather unusually for a Black Knight, however, the Avatar in Conquest is exceptionally kind and heroic, being exceptionally compassionate and going out of their way to spare as many combatants as possible. Furthermore, Xander and Leo are also clad in ebon armor, and like a Nohrian-aligned Avatar, are just as heroic as any other Knight in Shining Armor. Additionally, Xander plays it more straight than most for wielding a BFS called Siegfried, while Leo is mainly a Magic Knight who's more proficient in casting spells with Brynhildr than fighting with swords. The Avatar's older Nohrian sister Camilla counts too, being a Magic Knight (called "Malig Knight") who rides an undead wyvern and is capable of using tomes in addition to axes (though she's more proficient in axes than tomes). She's arguably also a better fit personality-wise than her two brothers and the Avatar, since while she is deeply devoted to her family, Camilla has absolutely no problems killing anyone who threatens them since her family is really her only priority.

A possible (and often-used and recommended) background for a Blackguard is to be a fallen Paladin, as a fallen Paladin-Blackguard gets extra goodies in the form of empowered abilities. In some French sources, "Blackguard" is translated "Chevalier noir", which is the French for "Black Knight". The Paladin of Tyranny variant of the base Paladin would also fit here. The Paladin of Slaughter, not so much. Fifth edition has "Oathbreakers" instead of Blackguards, and has the Oath of Vengeance and Oath of Conquest for less heroic standard paladins. The Oath of Conquest in particular has a strongly Lawful Evil code, including charming decrees like "Douse the flame of hope".

The Enclave soldiers as a whole wear black power armor with Rage Helms and often Shoulders of Doom. Fallout: New Vegas has Legate Lanius, whose armor isn't black but serves the same function. Part of his backstory is that he wears his helmet because most of his face was torn off in a fight with his own clan—when they decided that surrender was preferable to dying to a man, unless that's a lie made to serve as propaganda, he was born as a slave, and his face is actually intactnote his model without the helmet shows no scars, though the game doesn't have any scarred face options to begin with which would make putting them in difficult and the mask simply bolsters his reputation.

His identity is heavily implied through battle and text in Radiant Dawn, and is ultimately revealed a few chapters before his helmet comes off as General Zelgius. The Black Knight's compatriot General Bertram is also a classic Black Knight. Dressed all in black armor and riding astride a black horse, he speaks only in hisses, has a Mysterious Past that is only hinted at, is armed with the life-draining Runesword, and keeps his face concealed behind his visor. In the sequel he's revealed to be Princess (now Queen) Elincia's Uncle/Geoffrey and Bastian's mentor, Prince Renning, who had been Brainwashed and Crazy after being given a Psycho Serum by the Mad Scientist Izuka. Bastian keeps him locked away as he desperately searches for the cure, and he's ultimately saved by the Herons' Galdr of Rebirth.

Also an example of the Dark Is Not Evil subtype, as he opposes the God Hand and has rescued the good guys from certain death several times. Guts himself is called "The Black Swordsman" and gains black armor later on in the series. Despite his time as "The Black Swordsman" when he was murdering every Apostle he saw and anyone in his way, Guts tends to subvert the standards (especially during the Golden Age) as he just looks scary and brooding: he's actually really socially awkward and just has the misfortune of looking intimidating. He also fits the example of the wandering Rōnin due to not having a leader anymore.

Black Knight / int_74f7210c	comment	The Legend of Zelda: Iron Knuckles are The Dreaded among the enemies who aren't bosses (except for Rebonack in Zelda II: The Adventure of Link), but usually are minibosses. The only difference is that, with some exceptions, they don't wear black armor; a regular Iron Knuckle's armor is silvery. There's a fight against a seeminlgly-ordinary Iron Knuckle (except with gold armor) in the Spirit Temple near the end of The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time, as a personal servant to the Dual Boss of the dungeon, Twinrova. He is revealed upon defeat to be... a girl — and more specifically, Nabooru, who had been kidnapped by Twinrova. In many games, The Darknuts are portrayed in this fashion, though they do come in different colors. They excel at swordfight and have a high defense. Unlike the Iron Knuckles, Darknuts inflict less damage with their attacks but are much faster and more agile, and those traits increase when you get rid of their armor. They aren't important in the plot, but the strongest variants do appear as minibosses, like in the Temple of Time from The Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess or a duo of Mighty Darknuts in Hyrule Castle from The Legend of Zelda: The Wind Waker, and their difficulty makes them very imposing when you have to fight multiple ones later on. A confrontation with three or four at once even serves as the aforementioned games' strongest optional fights, awaiting in the respective Multi-Mook Melee dungeons. Ganondorf seems to be inspired by this trope in the latter game, since he has similar armor and a similar sword to the Darknuts, although he is first and foremost an evil king rather than a knight. The Legend of Zelda: The Minish Cap: A single black Darknut appears as the first Mini-Boss of Hyrule Castle, and is even named the Black Knight by its figurine; defeating it unleashes multiple Darknuts across the corners of the second-highest floor, protecting the respective entrances to various important rooms. A second one appears during the game's climax alongside two red-colored fellows, and they must all be defeated under a time limit to prevent a Non Standard Game Over.

Players can choose to become this themselves by wearing Black-grade equipment, complete with Spikes of Villainy, but because it is not very useful equipment for higher-end players and does not scale with levels, the only reason to use it is either due to being a lower-level player or pure Rule of Cool.

He's the father of the Red and Green Rangers who tried to overthrow the Yamato King and failed, but was let off in exchange for giving his baby son Geki to the childless king. Not too long after, he once again attempted a revolt (using the loss of Geki to galvanize others), challenging the king to duel. The king spared him when he lost... but he then immediately got himself killed via Backstab Backfire. His last words to his older son Burai were "Avenge me". This was what lead to Burai and the other Zyurangers starting as enemies. There's another black knight, appearing in front of Geki and Dora Narcissus, who starts attacking Geki and delivering a solid Breaking Speech that Geki is too hung up on saving Burai at cost of the welfare of his other friends and the people of Earth, until Geki delivers a Shut Up, Hannibal! and defeats him... only to reveal that it's Goushi, who's trying to wake Geki up from his Heroic BSoD, just as planned.

Black Knight / int_93a07966	comment	Fate/Apocrypha has several as well. There's Saber of Black, the legendary Siegfried who visibly embodies the trope in his all-black armor that renders him totally invulnerable. In keeping with the Dark Is Not Evil elements of this trope, he is among the kindest members of his faction, and sacrifices his life by transplanting his heart into the body of a dying, sentient, homonculus There's also Rider of Black, an androgynous bishounen who wears all black armor with a white coat and accents to symbolize his heart of gold. Fitting, given his status as a paladin, specifically Astolfo, the twelfth paladin of Charlemagne. Rider of Red fills a similar role, acting as the counterpart to both Rider of Black and Saber of Black, in that he is Achilles, the invulnerable hero of legend. Like Rider of Black he is a Rider, possessing his chariot from life as a Noble Phantasm. Like Saber of Black, he is clad in all black armor and almost totally invulnerable, able to ignore any attacks from opponents who lack Divinity, and able to shrug off the attacks of those who do. He is also among the kindest of his faction, though like Saber of Black he has Blood Knight tendencies and something of a Heel Realization. Finally the Ur Example appears as Saber of Red, Mordred, bastard offspring of Artoria and Morgana Le Fey. In addition to Spikes of Villainy and the appearance of a Tin Tyrant, her armor's helmet makes her identity undecipherable to anyone, including her own master. Like the Mordred of legend she is obsessed with becoming king and being legitimized in the eyes of Artoria, with any talk of her gender, her father, or even the Round Table being a massive Berserk Button for her. Despite this she's also revealed to be something of a Jerk with a Heart of Gold and a "Well Done, Son" Guy, who bonds with her Master in a father/daughter relationship she never had with Artoria, and manages to Go Out with a Smile after dealing a fatal blow to Assassin of Red.

He has black armor contrasting with his blond hair, is implied to be a Shell-Shocked Veteran, keeps his calm and noble behavior even when he's briefly Forced into Evil, and is quite badass. He is the Not Quite Dead Camus — but he has Trauma-Induced Amnesia after barely surviving said supposed death. He joins Alm's cause not just for Tatiana's sake, but because his liege and benefactor Rudolf told him to help "a boy with a mark in his arm", aka Alm. If he lives to the end of the game, his endings confirm that he recovers his Camus memories... Berkut, nephew to Emperor Rudolf and heir apparent to the throne of Rigel. He's a young, arrogant and very powerful paladin with black armor, Eerie Pale-Skinned Brunette looks and one Hell of a Right Makes Might mentality, which leads him to clash with Alm and his group constantly. And learning that Alm is the Hidden Back Up Prince, Rudolf's true son and The Chosen One leads him to complete insanity.

Black Knight / int_9d34190a	comment	The Elder Scrolls: Throughout the series, the Player Character can be played as one if wearing a suit of dark ebony or Daedric armor. Boethiah, the Daedric Prince of Plots (as well a litany of high crimes including Murder and Treason), takes this appearance throughout the series. When in male or female form, Boethiah's usual appearance is of a caped warrior wearing all black. He is depicted with a massive battle axe in male form and a Cool Sword in female form. It is theorized that this may be the corrupted appearance of the Aedric deity Trinimac (now the Daedric Prince Malacath) who Boethiah swallowed and temporarily assumed his form. Additionally, the Ebony Mail is an artifact associated with Boethiah and is a suit of black armor, turning its wearer into one of these (at least aesthetically). In Skyrim, considering that the Ebony Mail's enchantments shroud its wearer in shadows to assist in sneaking and that acquiring the Mail requires sacrificing one of your followers to Boethiah, it's very likely that any Dragonborn wearing it will be a dishonorable, mysterious, and malevolent Black Knight in spirit as well as looks. Daggerfall describes Ebonarm, the Iliac Bay god of war, as one. He has an ebony blade fused to his right arm and is never seen without his suit of ebony armor. Skyrim's Dragonborn DLC adds the Ebony Warrior, a Redguard donning a full set of enchanted ebony armor, who appears when you turn level 80 and challenges you to a duel in the middle of nowhere. The devs also gave him a lot of immunities to your abilities, making him virtually uncheesable. He also has some of the most powerful spells, the two most annoying Thu'um shouts in the game, and some really high skills to boot, making him just about the hardest Optional Boss to fight in the game. The reward for beating him is his gearnote If you've been putting perks into your enchanting and smithing skills, you could probably make better equipment and some rare and useful, but otherwise findable, items, making beating him pretty much a Bragging Rights Award.

Black Knight / int_9d47a2a2	comment	In A Song of Ice and Fire we get to hear of several Black Knights, called Mystery Knights, who remain masked until they are defeated; it is apparently all but law that whoever defeats a mystery knight in a tournament is the one who removes the helm. Indeed, it seems there was hardly a famous tourney in which there wasn't at least one participating. One of the most famous, never unmasked, was the Knight of the Laughing Tree, who competed at the great tourney at Harrenhal, made it a point to defeat three knights whose squires had bullied a young crannogman, became champion at the end of the second day, and then vanished before the third day began, leaving behind only the shield, emblazoned with a laughing heart tree. Hints in the story, and reader speculation, tend to imply that the Knight was Lyanna Stark, Lord Eddard's late sister; the crannogman was almost certainly Howland Reed, a bannerman to the Starks. In what is probably an aversion, while the Night's Watch always wears black, and there are indeed anointed knights serving among them, we have not yet seen one dressed in full plate, complete with face-concealing helm, who for some time is unable to be identified by a viewpoint character; given the relatively small size of the organization and that the Night's Watch isn't looked upon highly anymore, it seems we are unlikely to by series end. Perhaps the ultimate in-series example is Ser Gregor Clegane, Tywin Lannister's most notorious enforcer. He wears dark, unornamented armour, is absolutely gigantic, plays the role of The Dreaded/The Brute, and is a violent psychopath with a Hair-Trigger Temper. Whenever the Lannisters need to have some Rape, Pillage, and Burn done either on or off the record, he's their go-to man. Although, even "off the record" is rather more "but, we all know who this uniquely huge, 'mysterious' man mountain is and that he's here because you annoyed Tywin Lannister, right?" than strictly clandestine, however sigil-free and unidentifiable he and his troops may officially be. For the more honorable version of this trope, there's Gregor's younger brother Sandor Clegane, who ironically refuses to properly become a knight because his hateful brother is one, vehemently does not self-identify as one, and ditches the pageantry of it whenever possible; and when he can't get away without it, he deliberately subverts it (his snarling dog helm isn't just to own his identity as "the Hound" aka "the mad dog of the Cleganes" or to intimidate: it's also an insult to anybody who thinks pageantry is inherently a thing of noble beauty). He is one of the continent's most skilled swordsmen, wears plain, often blackened/ dulled/ treated armor (rust-protection as well as reflection-reducing "camo"), and can come off as a cold-hearted jerk to some/ most. However, he actively behaves as rather more honest and honorable than many of the actual knights in the series, as he commits to his duty as a bodyguard to Prince Joffrey to the best of his ability (until his PTSD gets the best of him), treats Sansa Stark with more respect than anyone else at King's Landing does, and intends to bring Arya Stark to safety, albeit not without some money for the trouble. By comparison to e.g. Ser Meryn Trant or Ser Loras Tyrell, this is almost shining knight territory.

Black Knight / int_a81325d3	comment	Final Fantasy: The recurring Dark Knight job, introduced partially in Final Fantasy II, and more properly in Final Fantasy III, fits this perfectly. They are usually strong damage dealers who are able to sacrifice their own health in order to deal damage, as well as drain health from enemies. They appear in almost all games in the series that use the job system. A recurring plot point for heroic Dark Knights is dealing with and subduing their dark side. While his armor isn't technically black, Garland of Final Fantasy fits every other bit of criteria. Final Fantasy II starts off with your party getting slaughtered by a group of Black Knights. There's also the Dark Knight, The Dragon to the Emperor and who turns out to be Leon, having been Brainwashed after being captured at the very beginning of the game. Golbez of Final Fantasy IV could not fit this trope any better. His theme song is titled "Golbez, Clad in Dark". He doesn't actually ever use a Sword, but prefer his magic instead. Though he's perfectly capable of picking up a sword in The After Years. Cecil, later a paladin, also fits this early in the game. ExDeath, the antagonist from Final Fantasy V, although like Golbez above he's presented in-story as a magic user (though he does have a sword and does use it in in-game battles). He also deviates a bit from this trope since his armor is actually light blue with gold trim. Final Fantasy XIV gives us the Dark Knight job. Dark Knights use huge greatswords and dark magic and match the general visual theme perfectly, but are also examples of Dark Is Not Evil. The player character is the always heroic Warrior of Light, and even the NPC ones are grumpy defenders of the weak. Hero with Bad Publicity applies heavily, both for using the forbidden dark arts and attacking the (not always known to the public) corrupt members of the clergy and nobility. The FFXIV expansion Shadowbringers takes this idea and expands greatly upon it. Upon arriving in the First, an alternate reality where the forces of Light have nearly destroyed the world, the Player Character is tasked with becoming the Warrior of Darkness, a savior that would bring salvation and break the veil of light that has plunged the world into Endless Daytime. Appropriately, the promotional material for the expansion features the Dark Knight job prominently. The Dark Lord from Final Fantasy Adventure. Interestingly, he shares his sprites with Final Fantasy III's dark knights. The Black Knight in Final Fantasy Crystal Chronicles. His identity is never revealed, strictly speaking, but the player can piece together the fact that he's the father of the boy who eventually kills him, unbeknownst to either of them. He's also The Berserker and an amnesiac. Odin, a recurring Summon throughout the series, fits the bill in terms of appearance and reputation; clad in dark and often demonic-looking armor, entering battle astride his black horse Sleipnir, and being one of the most powerful Summons in the series with his Signature Move, Zantetsuken.

The Hand of Cruelty, a Black Samurai. The Knight of Infamy, a riff on the Black Knight. The Knight of Malice from Dominaria is another riff on the Black Knight, with Red and Black and Evil All Over armour. Ironically enough he actually works really well fighting alongside the White Knight riff from the same set, Knight of Grace, because they buff each other's attack — and two 3/2 first strikers by turn three is a tricky proposition for many decks. The knights of Lochthwain from the Throne Of Eldraine set are an entire court of Black Knights, as they're the member of the five courts aligned with Black Mana, but they're a Dark Is Not Evil version: while knights of Lochthwain are known to be vain, haughty, and prone to holding grudges, their defining trait is that they're Determinators who never give up on a quest once begun until it's completed, or they die trying - and sometimes not even then.

She fancies herself a dark knight, and her black Spiricle Armor is befitting of the motif. In battle, however, she tends to be quite Hot-Blooded. Outside of battle, she is quite friendly and personable.

Black Knight / int_b30ae4db	comment	Game of Thrones: Sandor Clegane, in both appearance and effect. His armor is uniformly ominous black, and like the black knights of historical Europe, he no longer serves a master. Granted, he was never officially a knight, but still. It's particularly noticeable after Arya gets a White Stallion, while Sandor rides his dark courser. Despite not technically being a knight, Brienne is this in both appearance and effect, quite ironically like Sandor Clegane. Jaime has a suit of black armor forged for her in Season 4, and strictly speaking she no longer follows a master. Gregor Clegane wears a heavy suit of coal-black armour. A bit subverted in Season 2 when he drops the Shoulders of Doom and wears a Lannister cloak and helmet, but he goes back to full black armor when he appears in Season 4. After two seasons of wearing gold Kingsguard armor, Cersei does a dark redress and he goes back to black plate.

He had the power to transform into a large, metal humanoid with adamantium skin and a retractable sword coming out of his wrist. Like the characteristic black knight, he was simply a Punch-Clock Villain Professional Killer who gained no pleasure from killing, and followed his agreements to the letter.

Black Knight / int_b5ae56f9	comment	Sonic and the Black Knight: The titular Black Knight is King Arthur gone evil. Except not really, for he is but an illusion conjured by Merlin, Merlina's grandfather. Ironically enough, while it seems like he wears black, The Black Knight actually wears gold armor, albeit of a dark shade and thanks to lighting. Sir Lancelot also counts since he is a knight in black armor and because he's "played by" Shadow the Hedgehog. Merlina herself takes the physical appearance of a ghostly King Arthur during her boss battle, and her armor completely changes black once she Turns Red near the end.

Black Knight / int_b8e7bb8	comment	A few have shown up in Super Sentai and Power Rangers: The first instance would be the aptly named "Dark Knight" in Kagaku Sentai Dynaman, a knight clad in black that alternates between attacking the Dynamen or the Jashinka Empire. In the end, he is revealed to be the exiled Prince Megiddo and assumes the Big Bad position. From Kyōryū Sentai Zyuranger, the Yamato Tribe's black knight. He's a flashback-only character, but he is important. He's the father of the Red and Green Rangers who tried to overthrow the Yamato King and failed, but was let off in exchange for giving his baby son Geki to the childless king. Not too long after, he once again attempted a revolt (using the loss of Geki to galvanize others), challenging the king to duel. The king spared him when he lost... but he then immediately got himself killed via Backstab Backfire. His last words to his older son Burai were "Avenge me". This was what lead to Burai and the other Zyurangers starting as enemies. There's another black knight, appearing in front of Geki and Dora Narcissus, who starts attacking Geki and delivering a solid Breaking Speech that Geki is too hung up on saving Burai at cost of the welfare of his other friends and the people of Earth, until Geki delivers a Shut Up, Hannibal! and defeats him... only to reveal that it's Goushi, who's trying to wake Geki up from his Heroic BSoD, just as planned. Zhang Liao from Gosei Sentai Dairanger. Clad in black armor too, and he is a member of the Dai tribe, one of the original five warriors, who turned traitor. He repents out of love for his son -- Ryou, the Red Ranger, but perishes after the spirits of his companions forgive him. Bull Black the Black Knight in Seijuu Sentai Gingaman/the Magna Defender in Power Rangers Lost Galaxy, an Aloof Ally who lost a family member and is out for vengeance against the villains, clashing with the Rangers in the process. Both eventually pass on their powers to the Red Ranger's brother (Hyuuga and Mike, respectively), who becomes a proper Sixth Ranger. An episode of Power Rangers Time Force had a black knight trying to open a small case containing the Battle Fire to gain its powers, but couldn't do so as it would only open to someone with a heart of justice, so he left it inside a cave to be watched by a fire-breathing dragon. Wes gains access to the Battle Fire after killing the dragon and then uses its powers to defeat the Black Knight. In Bakuryuu Sentai Abaranger, anyone who wears the Armor of Darkness becomes a Black Knight bent on destroying anything around them — and whoever defeats the wearer becomes the new wearer. (Power Rangers: Dino Thunder adapts its multiple wearers into a single character, Zeltrax.) Wolzard in Mahou Sentai Magiranger/Koragg the Knight Wolf in Power Rangers Mystic Force, The Dragon with a Hellish Horse but also has an honorable streak a mile wide, often rationalizing that the Rangers are Not Worth Killing. Really the Brainwashed and Crazy father of the entire team in Magiranger and of the Red Ranger in Mystic Force. Incidentally, his armor isn't black but purple. Gosei/Robo Knight in Tensou Sentai Goseiger/Power Rangers Megaforce, another Aloof Ally and a Knight Templar — like the Rangers, he wants to protect the Earth; unlike the Rangers he doesn't particularly care for its people. His armor is actually silver, but his attitude qualifies him for this trope. Kishiryu Sentai Ryusoulger/Power Rangers Dino Fury, featuring an order of knights, naturally has a Black Knight villain. Ryusoulger's version Gaisoulg, like in Abaranger, is a set of malevolent Animated Armor that possesses its hosts and continually seeks out fights for the sake of fighting (and like in Magiranger, it's purple). Void Knight in Dino Fury, however, is more noble; trying to revive a loved one but going to extreme measures to do so.

While Erza is always the pinnacle of a Knight in Shining Armor in personality, she uses these armors in particular when she gets serious and more brutal about combat. The Purgatory Armor in particular stands out, as it's a full-suit of black and gray armor covered in Spikes of Villainy and she's hefting around a mace covered in spikes and blades. Her Edolas doppelganger Erza Knightwalker fits as well, as a Captain of the Edolas Military which controls the remaining magic of the world. She is determined to keep the magic of Edolas from dying, whether by stealing magic from Earthland or wiping out their former "gods" to gain infinite magic.

Black Knight / int_bcadd7cb	comment	Warhammer 40,000 has no shortage of soldiers in black Power Armor, from the genocidally zealous Black Templars to the heroic but shadowy warriors of the Raven Guard, but the ones who fit this trope best are the Chaos Space Marines of the Black Legion. Many are former Sons of Horus who had their colors and name deliberately changed to distance them from their defeat at the end of the Horus Heresy, while the rest are Chaos Marines from other legions who repainted their armor to show allegiance to their new master, Abaddon the Despoiler. Among the loyalists, those Space Marines who are sent to join the Death Watch paint their armor black as a gesture of brotherhood with their new chapter — save for their original chapter's markings on their right pauldron, both as a point of pride and so not to anger their armor's machine spirit. The exception are the so-called Black Shields who have chosen to completely sever themselves from their previous chapter, either because they are the last surviving member, or for darker reasons... Points to the Dark Angel's Ravenwing company, not just for their jetblack armor, but for their elite members actually being called Black Knights. For that matter, the entire Dark Angels during their legion era could count. Their colours were originally black rather than the current olive-green and after discovering their lost primarch Lion el' Johnson on Caliban, their culture shifted from Earth standard special operations forces to becoming a mystery cult and knight brotherhood due to Lion bringing large numbers of his brethren from Caliban's monster-hunting knightly orders. Not to mention that the setting literally has knights, the Imperial Knights who are the noble family rulers of Feudal Worlds. Of course, being the exaggerated world of Warhammer 40,000, the concept of knights having more fancy and elaborate armor and weapons than any mere peasant could dream of having translates to giant robot suits provided by the Adeptus Mechanicus. Some individual Imperial Knights leave their Houses to quest and fight as Freeblades but they remove any House heraldry from their suits and many fight anonymously under a pseudonym. One such knight, his Questoris-pattern Knight Paladin suit painted black, is "The Obsidian Knight". And then for the villainous example, there are the fallen Knights who have joined the forces of Chaos and get the usual spikes on their suits.

Black Knight / int_bff01809	comment	Warhammer: There are lots of examples, but the term "Black Knight" itself is used for the undead Wight cavalry of the Vampire Counts army (who probably fitted the classic version of the trope more when they were alive). Beyond that, there are: Archaon, Lord of the End Times, is a particularly destructive example, and he has a retinue of less-powerful but still scary knights known as the Swords of Chaos. When one is leading the other, the only two possible solutions are to shoot the hell out of them from a distance, or feed them a constant stream of weak units so that they don't utterly maul your heavy hitters. In general, Warriors of Chaos from the same setting tend to have this aesthetic. In a clever subversion, they are the exact opposite of Knights. They are in fact human barbarian chieftains and warriors coming from a demonic Norse warrior society. Another subversion, they don't even have to be black. The colour of their armour varies according to their religious affiliations, varying from black to red to purple to green to blue. These colours actually symbolize which Chaos God they devote themselves to, with the colour Black suggesting that they worship the Chaos Gods as a pantheon. Chaos Knights are elite Chaos Warriors mounted on huge Hellish Horses. They're the mounted heavy cavalry of the forces of Chaos and, with their fanatical devotion to their god or gods, also serve as templars of the Chaos armies. There are also the Blood Dragons, a sect of honourable vampire warriors who wear blood-red armor and spend their free time traveling around challenging mighty beasts and warriors to battles and drinking their blood. Some are even known to park themselves on bridges or in narrow passes and challenge anyone who tries to pass. Dark Elf Cold One Knights are essentially the Elf version (and riding giant Velociraptor-esque dinosaurs, rather than horses). The Black Guard of Naggarond are similar, being an order of sinister black-armoured noble warriors in service to a very evil liege-lord.

Black Knight / int_c2297a9c	comment	The entire faction of Knights, so this is going to crop up. Conquerors are conscripted criminals who managed to rise above the rest of the rabble and belong to no knightly order, wear 11th century Crusades-era armour, and wield a flail and heavy shield. Lawbringers, on the other hand, despite their noble-sounding name, are medieval Judges who wear massive, heavy plate-armour based on Spanish designs, and carry halberds as their weapon, and are one of the more annoying classes to fight due to their grapple-heavy playstyle (being thrown off ledges to your unceremonious death is a not uncommon fate when fetching up against Lawbringers). Any Knight character can be made a literal Black Knight by unlocking the "Dark Iron" material in character customization that turns a Knight's armor black, and any Knight-even the Warden, the most stereotypical "heroic" Knight character-can fight as dishonourably as they want to win matches. Certain colour schemes also encourage this look.

He was betrayed by the Kingdom of Heiland after the latter promised to spare the life of his princess, even if it comes at his own death. Sadly, both were tragically executed, and this awful deed was swept under the rug, plunging the tragedy in obscurity. Needless to say, Gauvain is powered by the knight's hatred for Heiland and its betrayal, while Airgetlam is powered by the knight's love for his friends which is why he kidnapped and protected Sylvie for mistaking her as his princess. Then again, it was Sylvie's plan to be kidnapped, so that she can bring the ghostly knight to peace, with the help of the Hunter.

The exception are the so-called Black Shields who have chosen to completely sever themselves from their previous chapter, either because they are the last surviving member, or for darker reasons...

Wearing full armor, and his identity being a mystery that's crucial for the plot? Check. Speaking with an imposing tone and looking and sounding badass and cool? Check. Wielding a sword? Check, and it's a BFS. Ridiculously powerful? Check, he's the strongest enemy in the whole game. Major antagonist who's not really evil? Check. The only single difference is that he wears red armor instead of black.

Clad from neck to toe in black and grey armor, wielding a giant battle-axe, the right-hand general of Grand General Swain is practically a walking example of the trope. Mordekaiser is an Animated Armor version. His default appearance is a hulking mass of dark armour carrying a gigantic mace and lit by a Sickly Green Glow, that being the ghost within the very heavy shell. Fittingly enough, Darius is one of the few Noxian characters he seems to have any measure of respect for.

The reason he is a black knight is due to being the legitimate heir of the world's alternate Charlemagne. Should all of the Christian kingdoms fall to darkness, it is his duty to re-establish the empire; as such he serves no lord.

He wields a scythe and is rumored to be responsible for kidnapping people in the dead of night. He acts as The Dragon to the Flame Emperor, who is a major antagonist in the Blue Lions route. He also has a close personal connection with Mercedes (being her younger brother, Emile) and singles out the main character, Byleth, as a worthy opponent. Dimitri could count as one in the Blue Lions route after the 5 year time skip. He goes from an earnest, idealistic teenager to a bitter and vengeful Blood Knight. He speaks with a raspy snarl and will stop at nothing to rip Edelgard's head from her shoulders. The black armor he wears post-timeskip lends itself well to the Black Knight aesthetic.

The Knight then goes on to explain to the crowd how devastating it is to a personality to be stuck in such an archetype, and eventually decides to stop fighting and Walk the Earth peacefully.

He's explicitly labelled a knight by Gaia Rothstein, who begs him to rescue her from an evil sorcerer holding her hostage, and rewards him in true fairytale fashion when he completes his quest. He even gets to slay a dragon! He later comes up against Captain Atom in Captain Atom: Armageddon, who's designed after the Knight In Shining Armour archetype and referred to as such — and definitely comes off as one in the Darker and Edgier Wildstorm universe. It does not end well for Midnighter.

He's mysterious, imposing, and one hell of a badass, to the point where most of the cast, who are pretty badass in their own right, do not want to mess with him. The trope name is also the epithet of Kagura Mutsuki. He doesn't actually wear armor of any kind and is one of the most unambiguously good characters. He does however dress primarily in black clothing and wields an extremely large blade as well being among the highest ranking officials in the series' resident government. And proving that Rank Scales with Asskicking, his fighting skills are also worth mentioning, so much that he can straight up beat the main character, noted to be a One-Man Army, without too much effort and hold his own against a Blood Knight known to the masses as a mass murder. Susanoo, introduced in the fourth game, also plays this trope straight and serves as the final villain of the series. His true identity is none other than Yuuki Terumi after he removed Hakumen from the armor and possessing it himself. Notably, this is what Terumi used to look like.

They're ostensibly heroic, seeking to keep evil spirits contained and eternally punished, but they're also very closed-minded and use darkness-based powers in addition to their weapons. One boss-level enemy, the Black Warden, despite still looking the part◊, forgoes weapons entirely, instead using dark blasts and control powers exclusively. Whether you're a Hero or Villain, you fight against them more than you fight alongside them. Of course, with City of Heroes' endless customization, you can make your own Black Knight character without any difficulty using the various medieval-themed armor pieces (including that of the Black Knight faction) and weapon sets (Broad Sword, Battle Axe, War Mace, or Titan Weapons)

Black Knight / int_fab472d2	comment	Black Knights in Dark Souls usually serve as a sort of optional minibosses, being fast and very tough, especially at low levels, and being slightly off the main path. They are also all Animated Armor, their occupants having been burned alive when their lord Gwyn linked the flame. There is also Black Iron Tarkus, a heroic and silent example, who can be summoned to help you fight the Iron Golem at the end of Sen's Fortress. He's a super-badass who is well known for being able to solo the fight by himself. Dark Souls II introduces Sir Raime, the Fume Knight in the Old Iron King DLC. Formerly a loyal knight of King Vendrick, he was cast out from Drangleic for daring to criticize his king's actions and ultimately came in contact with Nadalia, the Bride of Ash. Becoming enraptured by her due to their shared suffering, he ultimately chose to become her eternal protector, and defeating him is required to retrieve the MacGuffin within the DLC. The Throne Defender, one half of the boss fight protecting the Throne of Want, is mostly clad in dark armour, to contrast him with the Throne Watcher's mostly white ensemble. Dark Souls III introduces Sir Vilhelm, a Darkwraith loyal to Sister Elfriede in the Ashes of Ariandel DLC. He uses a massive black sword in combat wreathed in dark flames and is Elfriede's Dragon, whose role is to slay those who dig too deeply into the world of Ariandel and discover its secrets. Also, he has one hell of a Badass Armfold. 'III also has Knight Slayer Tsorig, who combines Tarkus's armour with Raime's cartoonishly big sword. He'll invade you looking for a fight in the Catacombs of Carthus, and will give you the "My Thanks" gesture whether you win or lose, and will allow you to summon him if you defeat his invader form in the Demon Ruins in Smouldering Lake. Since the real Tsorig is also in Smouldering Lake and is unrelentingly hostile, a player with a taste for irony and the ability to clear out the basilisks can bring Tsorig to fight himself.
