Lore
Four Imperial Knights
帝国四騎士
World & HistoryOrganizations
The four strongest knights of the Baharuth Empire, who guard Emperor Jircniv and carry out imperial orders, with authority equal to that of the knight order's generals; they are chosen purely for strength, not loyalty.
- Members: "Lightning Bolt" Baziwood (leader, from the slums), "Fierce Gale" Nimble (a baron's second son, later made an earl), "Heavy Explosion" Leinas (half her face rotted by a monster's curse; the only woman), and "the Unassailable" Nazami (dual shields; the toughest knight)
- Selection is based solely on strength, which is why there are members like Leinas, who has no loyalty at all (Vol. 9)
- In a past battle against the Kingdom on the Katze Plains, Gazef cut down two of the previous Four Knights, and the current members filled their places
- Assessment: all the guards combined could barely hold off one Death Knight; even all four knights together cannot beat the Martial Lord Go Gin; Fahn Longuu of Argenti is stronger than Baziwood; Gazef asserts that Brain could beat the Four Knights
- In Vol. 7, when Aura and Mare descended on the imperial palace riding dragons, Nazami was the first to engage them and died when a fissure from Mare's earthquake swallowed him; he has not been replaced, so in practice only three knights remain
- Web novel: the Four Knights are armed with many magic items such as gauntlets of strength, amulets of health, and rings of resistance, and carry potions worth at least 1,000 gold coins
