Description
The Arch Cinder Knight was an ancient hexblade who opposed the Trader, in a battle to the death the trader defeated him and gave him a new chance at life as his servant. In a ritual his flesh was torn from his body and his unusually powerful spirit created an exceptionally powerful Cinder Knight. He served as the commander of the forces of the trader and his personal bodyguard until the trader was locked away in the Mausoleum of the trader. Without a master he returned to the fortress and locked himself away.
It is clad in black armour resembling that of a normal Cinder Knight but more heavily reinforced, blue flames jut out of it which gives of ghostly blue glow. It wields a large sword fashioned out of tungsten heated to just under its melting temperature, no smoke is exuded from the Arch Cinder Knight since the temperature destroys the smoke.
If the Arch Cinder Knight is defeated the soul of the hexblade is freed leaving the charred bones in the armour. Any creature above CR 9 or level ten attempting to don the armour will be subject to the immolation spell. If the creature dies subject to the spell it becomes a normal Cinder Knight under the control of the dungeon master. If it survives the duration of the spell the flesh of the creature is stripped away and it takes the form of a cinder knight but keeps its form of self. When this happpens it becomes immune to fire damage.
