The Demon Knight, originally known by the alias "Blood Red Spider", was a Knight of the Central Continent roughly 500 years before the events of The Ember Knight.
Appearance[]
Blood Red Spider was a tall man with pale skin, gray eyes, and pink, chin-length hair. He had a scar across his left eye.
Personality[]
The people of the Central Continent believe that Blood Red Spider was a power-obsessed monster, who murdered the royal family of a kingdom and took over simply because he felt like it. In reality, Blood Red Spider realized that the current culture surrounding Knights would eventually lead to abuses of power, and he decided to commit an atrocity to force the Empire to change how Knights are restricted. In the process, he murdered innocent people and forced his protege, Hinsher, to kill him, so it cannot be said that he was "innocent", but he also was not a mindless monster.
History[]
Blood Red Spider was a Knight from the generation before Hinsher. He was known as the strongest Knight of his generation, and he was often rough with other Knights. He adopted Hinsher as his protege.
Blood Red Spider killed the royal family of the kingdom of Naltun,[1] in the southern Central Continent.
Relationships[]
Hinsher[]
Hinsher was Blood Red Spider's protege. Hinsher still has complicated feelings surrounding her mentor, as she looked up to him, but was forced to kill him after he committed his atrocities.
Abilities[]
Blood Red Spider and Hinsher were considered the most powerful Knights of their time.
Trivia[]
