Knights of Pluto

The Knights of Pluto were a humorously inept group of 9 knights led by Adelbert Steiner in Final Fantasy IX. They were originally charged with the protection of Queen Brahne and Princess Garnet, but they were discharged when Steiner left with Zidane's group. They were quickly replaced by Beatrix and her Alexandrian Soldiers.
