Steeped in the vespers of the purest Darkness, the Dark Knight is a fearsome sight. Often seen wearing full plate or chain armor, a great weapon, and radiating an aura of dread and miasma they strike fear into the hearts of Walkers and Dwellers alike. The Dark Knight is never more powerful that when causing pain and ailment, often suffering himself to spread woe upon his foes. Dark Knights literally gain power as they are afflicted with everything from poison to deafness. Each ailment gives the Dark Knight a boost and a power boost to one of his abilities as well as generally strengthening him should he decide to forgo resisting the maladies. In addition to this, Dark Knights are known to be able to gobble down the life force of their opponents and replenish themselves with a strike. The mental fortitude and dedication required to follow this path allows the Dark Knight to shrug off with sheer force of will things that would normally have to be evaded. This mental strength also lends itself to the study of Blank Magic though that has never been known to be a Dark Knights focus it does lend them some utility when they would otherwise be hampered by their heavy armor and weapon. There are few figures more terrifying on a battlefield than a fully empowered Dark Knight.
