(Silent) Praying Black Knight

Lore
When a foe came to town, the black knight fought wildly with divine strength. His jet black armor deflected all swords, while his battleaxe shattered his enemies' helmets to pieces. Once the threat was gone, he returned to his usual spot in front of the church and silently resumed his watch. No one knew where he had come from, or where in town he lived, but he had become a great hero and a symbol of the town.
