Scer Cataphract

The Scer Cataphract was a military unit deployed by the Scer Kingdom. They were a heavy cavalry unit that both the rider and horse were draped in a heavy coat of iron plate scale armour and used as a morale destroyer, breaking up infantry units in a panic.
However, due to the cataphracts heavy armour and slow moving horses they were ultimately defeated by the faster and greater numbered Esken Horsemen, although defeated and plundered, the concept of the cataphracts was used in the Raj'rûm Mamluk.
