Concept »
A common character class / archetype in role-playing games and fantasy. They are often less chivalric than your average Knight-errant, generally being depicted as either archetypal villains (such as a Dark Lord), or troubled and ruthless anti-heroes.
A fallen knightly champion (often a Paladin) who has returned as an undead. Not to be confused with Black Knight (though a character can certainly be both). Most commonly seen in High Fantasy roleplaying settings like Dungeons and Dragons and WarCraft.
The counterpart to 'faceless hero'. Sometimes the 'faceless evil' doesn't appear at all, but when it does, the player doesn't get a look at its face.
The very greatest of all of Bretonnia's knightly warriors, so named because they have each supped from the Grail and been endowed with the Lady's blessings over and above what any other Bretonnian knight receives.
This concept involves a character of the hero archetype that at some point in the storyline, turns against the forces of good and becomes evil or is revealed to have done this in secret at some point in the past.
The Undead is an umbrella term describing creatures that do not exhibit the key fundamental attributes that are associated with life, such as respiration, and blood circulation. They are divided into two main categories: Ethereal and Corporeal, depending on whether or not they have a body.
