History[]
Fright Night[]
During his time as a servant of Pariah Dark, the Fright Knight was seen bringing him the Crown of Fire and during the ghost king's defeat, he was sealed away, but was released many years later by Danny Phantom. He took the Fright Knight's sword, the Soul Shredder, so he could use it in a Halloween haunted house decoration competition between him and Dash in order to avoid detention. However this released the Fright Knight from his pumpkin prison and he chased Danny back to Amity Park, where he got his sword back. With the Soul Shredder back, he turned Amity Park into a nightmare realm, however Danny managed to discover how to reseal the Fright Knight. He plunged the knight's sword back into a pumpkin and spoke the incantation to seal him away once more.
Reign Storm[]
However Danny Phantom had not seen the last of the Fright Knight and when Pariah Dark was freed once more by Vlad Plasmius, the knight was released by his master. He and the ghost king's skeleton army were sent to Amity Park to retrieve the Ring of Rage for Pariah Dark. After facing of against Danny, Valerie Gray, and Vlad, the Fright Knight drove his sword into the ground, claiming the town for the ghost king. If someone were to remove it, it would be a sign of surrender to Pariah Dark, which Danny did, not knowing the consequences and despite being warned not to by even Vlad himself, and sent Amity Park to the Ghost Zone. However, the Fright Knight eventually stood alongside the ghosts united against the ghost king and seemed to have made a deal with Vlad, standing next to him as he locked Pariah Dark in the Sarcophagus of Forever Sleep.
Appearance[]
He has extremely long purple hair and green eyes. His body was unseen due to his attire, which consisted of black full-body armor with a black helmet that obscured his face and a mohawk of spikes on top, along with gray shoulder guards and a white skull at the center of his waist. He also wore a purple cape like his hair, a hood of fire, gray flaming gauntlets, and flaming boots. He is often seen wielding the Soul Shredder, a sword which glowed a ghostly green.
Personality[]
The Fright Knight is a ruthless warrior, living to instill all who oppose him with fear and if this has no effect, he prefers to use his superior combat skills. He often works with anyone who can benefit him and has a flair for being dramatic, doing things dramatically and declaring things in rhyme.
Powers and Abilities[]
The Fright Knight is quite powerful and possesses superhuman strength and durability, able to take most physical attacks without flinching. He can turn intangible, shoot beams from his eyes, teleport by disappearing, leaving behind a cloud of bats, and fly, but usually relies on his fearsome steed, Nightmare, for this.
The Fright Knight wields the Soul Shredder, which can fire energy blasts, transform objects and people into monsters, reflect ectoplasmic energy blasts, generate invulnerable shields, and, when he strikes people with it, send people into a nightmare dimension where they are subjected to their worst fear.
Trivia[]
- Fright Knight shares some similarities with Ares from DC Comics.
- His horse’s name may be a pun because "mare" is a synonym for "horse", thus implying his name is a pun for "Night-Mare".
- Fright Knight could be seen as a Neutral Evil. As in the Nickelodeon comic "Bring Back My Body to Me" he is willing to let Danny go and punish Vlad for stealing from him.
