Knight

Knights are soldiers who enforce the law and serve their sovereign.
==Overview==
Knights are an elite class of military warriors whose job is to serve and protect the people of their kingdom and the sovereign ruler of said nation. The most upstanding of Knights are typically shown to have a great sense of chivalry, having strong loyalty and dedication for their ruler and to achieve what they believe is right and just, even if it means risking their lives, this loyalty goes as far as requesting their superior to execute themselves just for the act of doubting the their liege’s words. Knights will typically operate in the capital city where the King lies, while other factions stay exclusively local within some towns to protect its people and Church. A Kingdom’s army of soldiers are split into different squadrons, each division is led by a high ranking Knight Captain.Fairy Tail Manga: Chapter 323, Pages 13-14

===Rune Knights===
Rune Knights are a faction that work directly for the Magic Council. They have a similar to the standard knight, but they focus more on bringing order to the Magic World and Guilds, thus they specialise more so in apprehending Mages who get out of line and disobey the Council’s laws. Unlike the standard Knights, Rune Knights wear robes instead of armor and specialise in using magic abilities and weaponry for combat and ensnaring targets, with Jutsu Shiki, essentially making them weaker in terms of physical prowess.Fairy Tail Manga: Chapter 67, Pages 2-3Fairy Tail Manga: Chapter 162, Pages 12-13Fairy Tail Manga: Chapter 163, Pages 6-11
