Daggeron, the Solaris Knight , fits the bill quite well already, though again, any Ranger tends to. However, Daggeron's the one who gives the most stereotypically "knightly" lines like "I'd rather die with honor than live without it.

However, Richard becomes a Knight in Sour Armor in Episode 7 after he's disenchanted with the king's debauchery, and he's offended when Edward attempts to appease him by bribing him with gold.

By Episode 8, Richard's moral compass is thoroughly broken when the opportunity to usurp the throne opens up to him. Honorable to the point of folly - or beyond. His even hunkier brother Prince Justin on the other hand is a total subversion of the Trope. Saint George : In the medieval legend, St. George kills a dragon, thereby saving a virginal princess, and aferwards refuses all material rewards but instead converts the locals to Christianity.

Tabletop Games. Paladins are more like holy crusaders empowered with divine magic, though which has its own trope, on that note. His fellow Knights of Solamnia are not quite so ideal but, with a couple of important exceptions, are generally good. The knight's abilities focus on mounted combat, single combat with an opposing champion , and maintaining honor. The 1st edition Cavalier class, introduced in that era's Unearthed Arcana , was closer to the "standard" Arthurian knight.

For a while, the Paladin class was a subclass of the Cavalier instead of the Fighter. Paizo's Pathfinder RPG has brought The Paladin full-circle with the "Shining Knight" archetype, complete with bonuses to mounted combat and riding skill.

For those not wanting to add divine elements to it, there's also the Cavalier class. Ironically, Alain Germande, the Iconic Cavalier, is very much not this, though he does excel at presenting himself this way to aid in seducing impressionable women. He's a Lawful Neutral arrogant Glory Hound Blood Knight who, though surprisingly charismatic, regards all others as expendable tools in pursuit of ever-greater glory and success.

The Talisman board game provides two examples of this trope, who reflect the chivalric code slightly differently: the Knight character, who is always of good alignment and who cannot attack other characters of good alignment, and the Chivalric Knight, who can aid rival characters in battle and cannot attack another character whose strength value is less than his own. They are fairly confident on running down any mounted troops and most foot, but they are vulnerable to shooting.

The Achilles' Heel of Irregular Knights is their impetuosity: unless constantly guarded, they are liable on charging spontaneously the nearest enemy and thus ruining the battle plan. Warhammer : All noble Bretonnians aspire towards becoming true knights in shining armour Grail Knights, who have been found pure in heart and soul and blessed by the Lady of the Lake , are said to all qualify for this trope by definition though the aforementioned skewed sense of morality has some fans wonder if the Grail Knights are really more like their more ordinary fellows.

The Empire also has several noble knightly orders, but their modernization means that the chivalric ideals are not as predominant there as in Bretonnia. The Cyber Knights from Rifts are a post-apocalyptic version of this trope, combining Mad Max aesthetic and advanced tech with traditional chivalric values and discipline.

Ironically, their founder Lord Coake was a straight up knight from a fantasy world that was displaced to Earth and created the order for the purpose of fighting evil in all of it's forms. While he fits the trope perfectly, his principles do get him into trouble like the one time he refuse to lend aid to Tolkeen one of the other main heroic factions of the setting because they consorted with demons as last resort to resist an enemy siege.

This action alienated his knights who went on separate ways and he went to found another knightly order to serve this purpose as the Cyber Knights. Video Games. Baldur's Gate : The series had a few - brash but idealistic squire Anomen, relentlessly pious and judgmental Ajantis, and the old but still fighting Keldorn.

Oddly enough, perhaps the most outspokenly classical example is a female halfling, Mazzy, who comes as close as a halfling can come to a paladin in a Second Edition-based game. Chrono Trigger : Cyrus in the English version. His apprentice Glenn takes on traits of this as well along with being a cursed knight.

Not in the original Japanese version: Lost in Translation. Siegmeyer of Catarina wants to be this, but is far too bumbling. Darkly subverted with Prince Lorian, though; he was originally this, but after he and his brother Lothric Linked the Fire, he was reduced to a brain-damaged brute unable to even stand upright, aiding his brother in rejecting the Linking of the Fire and becoming the last Lords of Cinder you fight.

Also subverted with Holy Knight Hodrick, who probably used to be this, but has since gone Ax-Crazy and joined the Mound-Makers, becoming a threat to anything that crosses his path. One of the armor sets for the Titan class in Destiny resembles the armor of a knight and flashes a bright blue, befitting of Guardians renowned for being fearless protectors who embody strength and self-sacrifice.

Balmung of the. While the setting of the series is an MMORPG, Balmung specifically investigates circumstances which could easily get him hurt in the real world. However, he has a strong moral code on issues of lesser significance, such as a strong distaste for hacking and player harassment. He also has a penchant for swooping in at the last moment to save other characters: In Sign, Balmung only appears in one episode, but rushes in to distract the Phase monster so that Subaru and company can escape.

Similarly, Balmung's introduction in the video games has him chasing down another corrupted monster and trying to get Kite and BlackRose to run away. When the people he works for ban him from getting involved in this again, he quits his job and takes up arms on his own.

His status as this in-universe even extends to Newly born AI Aura taking his character template for use as an automated defender of the World. Typically for a Low Fantasy setting, the Dragon Age games employ this trope: The Warden , Hawke , and the Inquisitor can all fit the trope, if the player so chooses, especially in the warrior class. Inquisition even lets you craft literal shining armor for the character. Alistair in Origins is mostly this, being a tank warrior who works best in heavy armor and wielding a BFS ; he's sweet, sensitive, and chivalrous.

He's also the only party member besides the dog who cannot be forced or even asked to leave, due to his Undying Loyalty to the only other Warden. If romanced, he adores his lady and presents her with a rose and some bashful speeches. On top of all that, he's also secretly a Prince Charming , as you learn over the course of the story.

Inquisition has two among the Inquisitor's friends: Warden-Constable Blackwall, who feels that part of being a Grey Warden is to be this trope. Which is why he pretends to be Warden-Constable Blackwall to atone for his sins.

Cullen has transitioned from a traumatized Templar recruit to a good example of this trope. He's kind, honorable, and thoughtful. On the other hand, he is still troubled by recovering from his lyrium addiction, and is buried so deep in his work he sometimes forgets to be Cullen: human being. The other characters can help him improve in this vein a little; it's more pronounced if he's romanced. The Elder Scrolls Throughout the series at least until Skyrim did away with classes , "Knight" was a preset class.

Knights get bonuses to the Blade skill, as well as Heavy Armor , Block , Speechcraft, and Restoration, following the trope closely. The class description reads: "Of noble birth, or distinguished in battle or tourney, knights are civilized warriors, schooled in letters and courtesy, governed by the codes of chivalry. In addition to the arts of war, knights study the lore of healing and enchantment.

Due to High Rock's cutthroat politics , how noble these knights actually are can vary wildly. In Oblivion 's Knights of the Nine expansion, the Player Character can found a new holy order of shiny-armored knights.

From the series' backstory comes Pelinal Whitestrake, the legendary 1st Era hero of mankind who came to St. Alessia to serve as her divine champion in the war against the Ayleids. Or, at least, that's how he is remembered in Imperial dogma anyway. Pelinal subverts the trope, having also been a racist berserker who would fly into fits of Unstoppable Rage mostly directed at the Ayleids during which he would be stained with their blood and left so much carnage in his wake that Kyne, one of the Divines , would have to send in her rain to cleanse Ayleid forts and village before they could be used by Alessia's forces.

In one infamous fit of rage, he damaged the lands themselves , which nearly caused the divines to leave the world in disgust. The Justice faction in Eternal Card Game , perhaps unsurprisingly, has many of these in its ranks. The Fate Series has plenty of examples, several of whom were actual knights of the Round Table. Gawain is the "most honorable knight" according to Artoria , with being undyingly loyal and a bit of a chivalrous pervert. Turns out that part of the reason why he's so loyal is due to blaming himself for Artoria's death.

Sir Bedivere might be the shiniest of all of them. He's unfailingly chivalrous, loyal and an upstanding guy all around. The Brotherhood of Steel from Fallout was founded to be a group of proud warriors that protect humanity from itself by securing and locking away any technology that could be used with disastrous results in the wrong hands.

Many in the wasteland simply view them as holier-than-thou technophiles. They even have a caste referred to as the "Knights" that Depending on the Writer will either maintain the Power Armor and laser weaponry that the Paladins use, or are warriors that serve under a Paladin. It's worth noting that power armor marked as Brotherhood armor, and thus disguises the player as a member of the faction in Fallout: New Vegas is notably cleaner looking than any other power armor in the game.

Even the same set of non-faction armor will look rusted and dirty by comparison. Fridge Brilliance dictates that if your Power Armor is well maintained, you must be Brotherhood. If your armor is all rusted out, you're probably just a scavenger that got lucky and found a functional suit in a cave somewhere.

Guess where most, if not all non-faction power armor can be found. In fact, he's heroic, noble, unashamedly, unrepentantly, disgustingly chivalrous to the point of making his characterization seem a tad unrealistic.

As does Cecil , but that rather goes without saying though perhaps not as much as the Warrior. Indeed, his turn from the dark side to this is one of the driving forces behind and most emotionally satisfying part of the overarching plot. Steiner in Final Fantasy IX , to the point that he makes a clanking sound whenever he walks.

He is also chivalrous to a fault, and is torn by his conflicting duties to Queen Brahne and Princess Garnet. Lampshaded when Judge Gabranth wonders, in their final confrontation, how come Basch failed his motherland, and then the kingdom who took him in, but is still the one who keeps his sense of honor of the two.

The only result is that his comrade, Kent, repeatedly tells him to drop it and get back to work. Camus and Arran from Shadow Dragon and the Blade of Light explore the more tragic aspects of this trope: Camus ends up having to choose between his love and his country, ending up going with the latter. This results in him being left for dead and his love being stuck in a loveless Arranged Marriage. When he returns as Sirius in Mystery of the Emblem , he devotes himself to saving Nyna, but in the end, even though he's able to snap her out of being Brainwashed and Crazy , he resigns himself to the fact he can't be with her, and leaves, never to return.

Meanwhile, a case of My Greatest Failure has led Arran to continue to adopt this persona even while terminally ill, as a way of Facing Death with Dignity.

For Honor has the Knights of the Iron Legions as one of its three factions, yet the only Knight class that approaches this trope is the Warden , who looks the most like the classic interpretation of a knight, wields a longsword, and serves as the viewpoint character for their chapter and afterwards ends up leading a resistance movement of the other Legions against Apollyon and her Blackstone Legion.

Still, they don't wear full-on shining plate armor as the trope usually goes, instead wearing brigandine over their torso.

There's nothing stopping a Warden player fighting as dishonorably as they want to win fights in the game however. Gems of War : The Whitehelm region has a piety-and-honour theme to it, meaning that its units tend to fit this archetype i.

Ky Kiske from Guilty Gear. Prior to the events of the game, he's the commander who willingly risked his life to save people even if the situation seemed hopeless or even if the person to be saved was questionable. An in XX Ky continues to be a noble public servant as a high ranking police officer. In Overture , his popularity and charisma earns him the position of a king.

Kid Icarus: Uprising makes it clear that Pit is one, as he is endlessly loyal to Palutena and will always fight for the human race, even though the game also shows that Humans Are Bastards and the real Big Bad , Hades, easily manipulates them to kill each other.

While there are murderous Knights who are more concerned about their chances at raping and pillaging, many of your Knights are law-abiding and hold true to the folklore of chivalry, including your first Knights - Sir Ector and King Mark. In King's Quest Graham of Daventry forgoes the armor in favor of guile , but he is still very much a knight at heart, even after being crowned king.

The Legend of Zelda has Link who, while not always a knight by occupation, is nonetheless an Ideal Hero who's been saving the princess and the land of Hyrule from Evil Overlord Ganon since That said, his A Link to the Past and Ocarine of Time incarnations are stated to have descended from the Knights of Hyrule, the Skyward Sword version is in the middle of training to become a knight at the start of the game, and Breath of the Wild 's Link served as Princess Zelda's personal knight.

Oersted from Live A Live is a deconstructed example. Demon-slaying, princess-saving, the whole nine yards.

The chapter is dedicated to show that even the noblest of knights can finally crack if there's enough hatred to corrode them, and in his case he cracked pretty damned hard. Samara in Mass Effect 2 , even going so far as to give a Knight Errant perhaps with a bit of Samurai as the closest human equivalent to her order.

Though she has a strong ruthless streak, and is absolutely unbending when it comes to her code. Granted, he has all the personality of a brick, but he's a chivalrous paladin nevertheless.

These religious warriors don't have any magic but they do extra damage against ghouls and vampires. Overwatch : Reinhardt Wilhelm is more of knight in mechanical rocket powered armor , but he still fits, and in fact invokes this trope. He sees himself as a modern day knight, and was previously part of an entire order of modern knights in powered armor called The Crusaders.

He acted as The Heart to the titular Overwatch, staunchly supporting the group, but calling them out the minute they started straying morally. His forced retirement was the first step to the organization's eventual collapse from corruption and infighting, leading him to become a Knight Errant.

In his youth, he was a hot-blooded and reckless gloryhound whose actions led to the massacre of his mentor and almost his entire unit. He later deeply regrets it. While she was originally mainly tasked with helping maintain his Power Armor , she eventually develops her own and functions as a Paladin-esque Hero.

Fernando from Paladins is an egotistical self-appointed knight who does heroics for glory and charming women. However, he does look out for his comrades and will protect them with his mighty shield and fry foes with his flame lance.

Aeron, of Pandora's Tower , who starts the game off sneaking into the capital city of the country his homeland is at war with just to watch his girlfriend sing, then doesn't hesitate to disappear with her when Elena is promptly afflicted with a curse. He then spends half the game looking to break said curse, and the other half looking after her and making their shabby safehouse a much more pleasant place to be just so she's more comfortable.

Bonus points for the fact his armor is literally bright, shiny gold. The Knight class in Runes of Magic is apparently inspired by this trope. He's currently a squire, though. Sonic and the Black Knight : In the final battle against Merlina , Nimue and the Knights of the Round Table use the power of the sacred swords to transform Sonic into Excalibur Sonic, a Super Mode which grants the blue hedgehog golden armor. He dreamt of becoming this just like his father who was an heroic knight that qualified for the trope, but fell into some bad company and eventually turned into a monster.

He became so consumed with his crimes that he spent most of the series seeking atonement for them, and nearly veered into Knight Templar territory in the fourth game.

By Soulcalibur V , he found peace and most definitely can be considered a noble knight as his new mission is to defend humans against the Malfested.

Patroklos is similar albeit in a relatively less tragic way as he was initially an arrogant Jerkass who did morally questionable things in the name of "justice". He does grow out of it. Flynn in Tales of Vesperia. While Flynn is a very literal example on top of displaying the character traits, his best friend Yuri embodies the traits befitting this trope, while crossing it with Knight in Sour Armor , due to his dislike of the Empire and his time as an actual knight.

He even gets a title in reference to the characteristics of this trope, called True Knight, and it's noted when you get the costume that Yuri is the most knightly of any of the characters, including Flynn as the character who says this is talking to Flynn, who will agree with her. Arianhrod is a rare female and antagonistic example. Her entire aesthetic is that of a silver knight, with an imposing armor and helmet along with an absolutely massive jousting lance.

She even has 'squires' in the form of the Stahlritter , a trio who share her knightly aesthetic and are fervently loyal to her.
