Phantom Knight

A spectral warrior bound by duty to guard what no longer exists.

The armor is translucent blue-white, a full suit of plate from an era two hundred years dead. Through the visor, two points of cold light burn where eyes once were. The Phantom Knight stands at his post with the rigid discipline of a soldier who does not know the war is over, the kingdom fallen, the king dust. He challenges trespassers in a language no one speaks anymore and attacks when they cannot give the proper countersign. His sword passes through stone but not through flesh. In death, he has finally become the perfect soldier: tireless, fearless, and utterly without mercy.
