Base Class: Fighter
A dark knight is a formidable and brooding warrior, shrouded in mystery and often walking the thin line between righteousness and darkness. Clad in heavy, imposing armor adorned with symbols of death or darkness, they exude an aura of intimidation on the battlefield. Their fighting style is brutal and efficient, wielding weapons with precision and strength to swiftly dispatch their foes. Emotionally scarred by their past or driven by a quest for vengeance, dark knights often harbor deep-seated pain, anger, or a sense of moral ambiguity. They may have forsaken the ideals of traditional chivalry in favor of a more ruthless approach to combat, willing to use any means necessary to achieve their goals. Despite their dark demeanor, dark knights are not necessarily evil; many are driven by a sense of justice, albeit one shaped by their own personal code or vendetta. They may seek to protect the innocent by striking fear into the hearts of evildoers or by serving as a grim reminder of the consequences of crossing their path.
