Knighthood

Knighthood is a Moros of the Free Council who served as a Sentinel of the Consilium by the Bay. He was a member of the Alexandrians and was exiled in absentia following the Free Council Trials.

History
Not a Lancastrian by birth, Knighthood arrived at university in the city a Sleepwalker, and in his first week stumbled into the Ruskin Library at the wrong moment, just as Download and Alchemiss were conducting an experiment. Freaked out, he stumbled away into the underpass before the two mages could stabilise the experiment enough to go after him, and as a bus rose up from beneath him he found himself in a leaden tunnel just before a possible impact.

Ironically it was their cabal mate Protean who he first trusted with the story of his Awakening, in her role as counsellor. She was able to explain to him what had truly happened and how things are in the Awakened world, and in due time, taking the name Knighthood for the aspirations Protean encouraged him to follow, he joined the Free Council and the Alexandrians, working with the people whose experiments had triggered his awakening.

He was often heard to remark, afterward, that if the Consilium by the Bay had had any Adamantine Arrow he would have fallen in with them instead. Perhaps the only person in the Consilium to regard Download as an absent-minded woman in need of protection, his focus on being a line of defence for the Awakened lead to his appointment as a Sentinel by Hagstone, who advised him to follow Hoodsman's lead. It was the consensus of the Consilium at the time that Knighthood would serve as useful muscle.

Knighthood was the only judicial official to be part of the group that executed Ford. When this was revealed by Rynel, he left behind his tools of office and fled the Consilium, next heard of in France. He was tried in absentia.

It has been suggested since that with the merger, he would not violate the terms of exile if he was to return, but nobody is known to have communicated this to him and what he would do if they did is unknown.
