death knight
Risen armored combatant
A death knight is an undead warrior in fantasy fiction and games, typically a fallen paladin or noble knight resurrected through dark magic to serve evil.
Death knights retain their martial prowess but wield necromantic powers, commanding undead minions and spreading corruption.
The archetype appears prominently in Dungeons & Dragons and World of Warcraft, where they serve as both fearsome enemies and playable characters: My death knight just hit max level.
