The Black Knight was once a simple young smithy, who saved his king from an assassination plot, and was secretly knighted for it. As a knight, he hid his identity with a mask, but loyaly served King Victor of England. The Black Knight considered himself a spiritual and righteous man. However, he also made a point of telling people that no man had seen his true face and lived to tell of it. After many adventures in England, he travelled to Egypt, where he defended the Queen from Mongols.
