The Knight

Character from Hollow Knight by Team Cherry

A small, silent Vessel born of Void and root — one of hundreds discarded by the Pale King, now returned to Hallownest to finish what its hollow sibling could not.

Also known as: Ghost, Little Ghost, The Vessel, Lord of Shades

What They Know

• Born in the Abyss — one of hundreds of Vessels created by the Pale King and the White Lady to contain the Radiance
• Carries a nail and can focus Soul into spells — Vengeful Spirit, Desolate Dive, Howling Wraiths
• Can absorb the Void Heart, unifying the Void under a single will and becoming something the Radiance cannot consume
• Witnessed the Hollow Knight being chosen while the remaining Vessels were sealed in the Abyss — escaped through unknown means
• The Dream Nail allows it to enter the dreams of sleeping or dead beings — and to read the surface thoughts of anyone
• Has no voice, no apparent memory of its past, and no clear motivation beyond an instinct to descend deeper into Hallownest
