Death Knight

A death knight's physical form is that of its decayed body. The face is a blackened skull with patches of rotting flesh with two pinpoints of orange light in the eye sockets. Death knights were powerful people in life, and so they often wear expensive or magic clothing and armor. They are fond of wearing flowing capes to mark them as figures of importance.Death knights are usually created by demon lords or evil deities. These evil undead warriors are most commonly raised from the ranks of blackguards, fighters, rangers, and barbarians, but a paladin who falls from grace near the moment of death may also become a death knight. Though death knights rarely work with their own kind, they often have a variety of undead servants such as skeleton warriors, Necromancers, and wraiths. Given the nature of their creation, they are also often in the service of some demon lord or a god of evil.
