Night Knight

Night Knight is the placeholder name of a Crystal Earth pony stallion with a blue coat, light blue mane and tail, amber eyes, and a cutie mark of a bow and arrow. He has a speaking role in the episode The Crystal Empire - Part 1.__TOC__
==Design==
Night Knight shares his design with "Crystal Arrow", Periwinkle Pace, and S03E01 Unnamed Earth Stallion #6.
==Depiction in the series==
 Night Knight is one of the nine most frequently appearing Crystal Ponies, along with "Amber Waves", Bright Smile, "Crystal Arrow", Elbow Grease, "Fleur de Verre", "Ivory", Sapphire Joy, and "Rubinstein".
He first appears in The Crystal Empire - Part 1 during Princess Celestia's flashback of the Crystal Empire, shown to be in the forced servitude of King Sombra. Later in the episode, he is one of many Crystal Ponies having become depressed as a result of King Sombra's curse. He has a brief speaking role opposite Elbow Grease. Hearing news of the Crystal Faire lifts his spirits and returns color to his coat and mane.
In The Crystal Empire - Part 2, Night Knight has other forms of fun at the Crystal Faire, like partaking of Crystal Empire fritters and watching Rainbow Dash and Fluttershy's jousting match. He helps power the Crystal Heart at the end of the episode.
Night Knight appears at the Crystal Empire train station in Just for Sidekicks and Games Ponies Play.
In Flight to the Finish, Night Knight appears in the stadium crowd at the Crystal Empire during the Cutie Mark Crusaders' flag-carrying audition. He also appears at the Rainbow Falls Traders Exchange in Trade Ya!, watches the Games in Equestria Games, and is seen in the crowd welcoming the dignitaries in Twilight's Kingdom - Part 1.
In The Beginning of the End - Part 1, Night Knight appears falling victim to King Sombra's mind control.
