Lothric the Darkened is a powerful knight and member of the Grave Walkers.

Biography
Long ago, in the kingdom of Morgoth, there existed a group of knights. These knights had ties to the royal family, carrying out special assignments and eliminating threats to the throne. This group was known as "the Black Death Knights". They were merciless, efficient, and most importantly, deadly. These knights were led by Lothric the Darkened. He and the other black-clad knights were sent on many quests and always came out victorious.

One day, the king's heir became the new ruler. He stated that the Black Death Knights were no longer necessary, and had them disbanded. They reluctantly obeyed. Some former Black Death members became part of the king's new special service. Lothric went to the kingdom of Celebrimor, looking for an occupation there.

He would meet another knight. This knight was known as "Eldritch". Eldritch asked the dark knight who he was, where he was from, and what he was capable of. After getting all the information he needed, Eldritch recruited Lothric for his knights, the "Grave Walkers".

Abilities and Traits
Lothric has the Elemental Power of Shadow, meaning he can manipulate the darkness itself. This was what made him and his fellow Black Death Knights so deadly: their control over darkness. Their dark armor helps them blend in with the darkness and their powers help them see through that darkness.

Lothric is intelligent, cunning, and ruthless. His leadership made the Black Death Knights such an efficient team. Under the cover of the darkness, they eliminated countless targets and carried out many missions.

Mask and Tools
Lothric wears the Kanohi Kraahkan – the Mask of Shadows. With it, he can control darkness and shadows themselves. He can also stir anger and hatred within the hearts of others, though he never does that. He can also see the darkness inside others.

Lothric carries a battle axe and a Snake Shield – typical among the Black Death Knights. The snake was a popular symbol among the royal family, so they used that on their shields. Most Black Death Knights used axes while others used swords or spiked maces.
