The Black Knight is the lord of Dark Castle. He seems to be the leader of the Dark Castle, though he is never seen doing anything but drinking beer. It is not known what he does to warrant such dislike, but the townsfolk are all scared of him, and then warn Prince Duncan before he enters Dark Castle for the first time. The Black Knight wears a suit of Black Armor, and is never seen beneath the armor.

Main Article Dark Castle
When Prince Duncan makes his way to the Black Knight's Throne room, he pulls five switches on the walls. Then the Black Knight falls of his throne, and a Gargoyle takes Duncan to the Dungeon.
Beyond Dark Castle
Main Article Beyond Dark Castle
As said in the Help Screens of Beyond Dark Castle with help from Merlin, Prince Duncan has found his way behind the Black Knight's throne, where there is a fireplace and mantle. Duncan walks up and tries to take a torch, only to have the whole wall turn around. It is shown that Duncan is in a large Ante Room, where there are 5 pedestals for holding orbs. Duncan then proceeds to collect all 5 orbs, and a gate is opened that leads to the final duel with The Black Knight. Duncan makes his way through the room until finally finding the Black Knight, where they then fight.
On Beginner and Intermediate Difficulties, when the Black Knight is defeated he falls back into his chair, and Prince Duncan makes his way over to the fire place by the throne, and is taken back to the Main Menu, where he does a victory dance. After the score is shown, Duncan goes back though the wall and ends up back in the Ante Room.
Upon defeating the Black Knight on Advanced he falls back into his chair, then turns into a little swirling ball of energy, and flies up the place where his drinks were coming from. Prince Duncan then goes to the fireplace, and pulls on the torch, and is taken back to the Main Menu. This time, after doing his victory dance, the Energy ball that the Black Knight turned into comes from the top of the screen, and turns Duncan into the Black Knight. The new Black Knight then looks at himself, and the wall turns around, showing a "The End" on the other side.
