Black Knight
Black Knights are the main fighting force of Messmer’s army. Utterly loyal to him, they never doubt or yield in their crusade to purge the Realm of Shadow.
They wear black armour etched in gold, similar to the set worn by Maliketh, the Black Blade, and carry black steel weapons and shields. Some ride into battle on a Steed, and they draw on several aspects of the Crucible in combat.

How to beat it
Black Knights are tough, disciplined fighters, so treat each one as a small duel. Their Crucible abilities give them surprising tricks, so stay patient and learn their timings before you get greedy.
The mounted ones are best handled from Torrent, or by forcing them into a spot where the horse cannot swing around easily.
