Black Knight (Crystal Chronicles)



The Black Knight is Lilty warrior in Final Fantasy Crystal Chronicles trying to find his lost memories of his family. It's said that he has the strength of 20 Lilty warriors and battles in a frenzy.

Tales of the Black Knight
When the Tipa Caravan crosses path with the Alfitaria Caravan lead by Sol Racht, he mentions to the party the legend of the Black Knight and how he was a hero. Later the party runs into the Marr's Pass caravan who are in need of help. They tell the party that they had challenged the Black Knight to a friendly duel, but that he was a raving madman and showed them no mercy. It becomes unclear if the Black Knight was a hero like Sol Racht said or a madman who murders anyone who crosses paths with him. Sol Racht begins to seek an investigate on the Black Knight to uncover if he has truly become a mass murder. Sol Racht himself does not believe the Black Knight could have commit such crimes. It is later discovered that sometime ago he had been hired by Hurdy to investigate a swamp that might hold clues to why people are losing their memories.

Confrontation with the Black Knight
The Tipa Caravan finally meets the Black Knight as he is yelling and swinging his spear into the air. He claims that an unseen light is eating his memories away. As the unseen monster vanishes, he runs off leaving the party unharmed. The party runs into the Black Knight one last time when his memories are returning to him, but it is all too late as he is stabbed with a spear by a young lilty named Leon Esla, claiming revenge for his father that he believes the Black Knight had killed.

Aftermath
If the party returns to Alfitaria after these events and speak to Leon Esla, he will mention that his mother keeps the Black Knight's armor and cries whenever she looks at it. This leads the player to believe that the Black Knight was infact Leon Esla's father. Before the final battle with Raem, Lady Mio will mention that it was Raem who stole the Black Knight's memories.

Final Fantasy Crystal Chronicles: Ring of Fates
In Ring of Fates the best armor for the Lilties is the Black Knight Helm and Black Knight Plate. The armors appearance is based off the Black Knight. The description for the Black Knight Helm says "A sallet that's tied to an inescapable fate." while the Black Knight Plate says "Armor that predestines the fate of its wearer." Each is most likely talking about the fate of the Black Knight from Crystal Chronicles. The name of the scrolls to make these are called the Possessed Helmet and Possessed Armor.
