The Knight is the main hero and the only playable character of the deep and addictive game Hollow Knight. The Knight is a discarded Vessel. Born in the Abyss with Void inside their shell as a child of the Pale King and White Lady. Similar to other Vessel siblings the Knight has no gender. When The Knight climbed out of its birthplace in the abyss it saw The Pale King taking away their siblings and sealing off the Abyss. The Knight and some of the siblings managed to escape the Abyss and headed outside Hallownest. Having lost all of their memories outside Hallownest they heard a call from there and they started their journey back. A fanart Hollow Knight game progress bar for YouTube with The Knight.
