M Knight, or the Mystic Knight, is a metallic construct of a man who was created by a wizard associated with the Knights of Zorn. He specializes in magic relating to sound and vibrations, often melding his steel arms into blades which resemble tuning forks.
He was made to protect the wizard who created him, but failed as the wizard had perished. M Knight was discovered by Sir Pepipan Chirole and the Music Knight (the original members of the Merry Band), and was added to their party. Neither of them ever saw M Knight's true appearance as he was always cased in armour, and neither of them pried since it was clearly important for M Knight that his appearance be concealed.
M Knight left the Merry Band after Pepipan Chirole went to Lurisia, as M Knight wanted vengeance for the Music Knight, who was killed by the Wilderman. As the Wilderman was really in the Third Garrison all along, M Knight was unsuccessful in tracking him in the Wilderness. He returned to the Third Garrison, met up with Pepipan and a newcomer Hylus Jonden, and the three of them were soon after framed by the Sunday Knight for an attempted regicide of Queen Rhea Vandran. He was saved from execution by Jinx, who used a Zone of Truth to clear their names and convict the Sunday Knight for setting them up.
M Knight was part of the 29th Ranging Squad, and was one of the people who learned the Wilderman's identity after following Gareth Turnkey's research to the Heibach Mire. He along with the other members of the 29th Ranging Squad battled the Wilderman but were too underpowered, and were left to die in the Mire. After finding a way out, M Knight ended up in Tulach's Getaway Village, but left soon after with Florus Gordrie and Hylus Jonden to chase after Sir Pepipan, who left the party once again.
Pepipan was troubled by the vanishing of the Sunday Knight during her execution, and no longer believed that the Band could cooperate anymore (still mourning the loss of the Music Knight). M Knight convinced him to keep the Merry Band together for one last mission, finding the Sunday Knight and bringing her to justice. He showed the Band his true appearance for the first time and explained that he has no purpose if not to accompany the Merry Band.
Finally, once the Sunday Knight was apprehended, he was the most vocal advocate for the sparing of her life, and was able to get Pepipan and Florus on his side as well. When Hylus disagreed, he grappled him out of a tree into submission. Following the splitting of the Merry Band over their differing opinions on the Sunday Knight's fate, M Knight took the new recruit Baby Knight to Greth Summit to train him with the Knights of Zorn, unaware that the Order has ended and that the Monastery was just attacked...
