Specter Knight
Specter Knight is the earliest member of the Order of No Quarter, a group of eight knights that serve the villainous Enchantress. He is an undead ninja warrior wielding a scythe and various magic curios to guard his village, the Lich Yard. He was resurrected by the Enchantress with the purpose of assembling the rest of the Order, and he begrudgingly serves her, knowing that she can remove her gift of undeath at any moment.
