Sepia knight
- "He was encased, from top to toe, in rusting armour, and seated upon a prowlgrin. As he moved round in the saddle, the heavy metal plates clanked and rattled; the gauges clicked, the pipes whistled softly."
- —A description of the knight[1]
The sepia knight was a knight academic from Sanctaphrax. At some point prior to 15 ᴇ.ʏ., he was sent stormchasing, but he failed.
Biography
During his time at the Knights Academy, the sepia knight was friends with Garlinius Gernix. However, the pair fell out over a sky ship: the Storm Queen. Both claimed it as their own, but eventually the sepia knight set out in a different ship, and Gernix got to keep it for his own voyage.
The sepia knight and his prowlgrin mount, Bolnix, survived the journey to the Twilight Woods, but failed to gather stormphrax crystals and escape before succumbing to twilight madness. In his insanity, he remembered his feud with Garlinius Gernix, and began mindlessly searching for his old friend, in an attempt to make amends. He wandered the woods for at least 20 years, but never found Gernix.
In 35 ᴇ.ʏ., the knight encountered Twig in the Twilight Woods, and mistook him for his old friend, Garlinius Gernix. He grabbed Twig, who then tried to escape his grip. This angered the knight, making him draw his sword, however, he promptly forgot that Twig was there, and ran off to continue his quest to find Garlinius.
Behind the scenes
- It is possible that the sepia knight was either Lidius Pherix or Petronius Metrax, who both went stormchasing before Garlinius Gernix, never to return.
