Chaos KnightUpon his steed Armageddon he rides, wading into battle with maniacal frenzy, drawing strength from the disorder of the universe. A physical manifestation of chaos itself, in times of need he calls upon other versions of himself from other planes, and together these dark horsemen ride into battle, as unstoppable as any force of nature. Only when the last Light of the world is scoured from existence will the search be ended. Where rides the Chaos Knight, death soon follows.

- Chaos Knight is a Fundamental, a force of the universe created when Elder Titan caused divided the world during the Schism.[1] Like other Fundamentals, Chaos Knight returns to the Fundamental Plane when he dies.[2]
- He seems to be unaware of different types of mounts, calling any one that he sees as a "horse" (so far as to call a bat a "flying horse").[3]
- Chaos Knight's horse name is Armageddon.[4]
- 20px|link=Pudge|class=noprint Pudge thinks Chaos Knight is a snob.[5]
The Schism[]
Before time even began to flow, the four Fundamentals were once united in the Fundamental Plane where they were all bound to the great Primordial harmony created by the Elder Titan. When his hammer fell into the world, it caused a devastating effect on the early universe that split the Fundamental Plane open. The first Fundamental to escape was Ezalor, the Keeper of the Light. The other Fundamentals followed suit, prompting the Chaos Knight to reunite his escaped siblings. He set his sights on the rogue Fundamental who escaped his respective realm,[6] and it's only a matter of time and space before he comes for the other Fundamentals.[7]
Relationships[]
It is strongly hinted that "The Light" Chaos Knight has been trying to hunt down and extinguish is his own brother, Ezalor.[8] He also seeks to hunt down the other escaped Fundamentals to reunite them in the Fundamental Plane.
According to 20px|link=Omniknight|class=noprint Omniknight, the Omniscience can see all of Chaos Knight, including versions of him from other planes.[9] Omniknight is also hunted by Chaos Knight, whom he considers as his second target.[10]
Chaos Knight is an enemy to the forces of Light, which include the now defunct Golden Lords who are also known as Children of Light. These beings, including their creation Dawnbreaker, sought out the power of 20px|link=Io|class=noprint Io to bind him.[11] They failed to secure its power and were destroyed while their golem was left inert, leaving the Chaos Knight to continue his ancient pursuit.[12]
