Black Knight

Black Knights, also known as the Kinshra, are medium level humans found mainly in and around their fortress. They are central to the Black Knights' Fortress quest. Most Black Knights have a max hit of 4, but some can hit up to 5.

Black Knights are some of the oldest non-player characters in RuneScape. When the game was first released, Black Knights were the strongest foes in RuneScape at level 46. The boast "I can beat a black knight" was once held to be impressive. There were only three Black Knights in RuneScape.

You can also kill them for points after beating Wanted!. The points signify your white knight rank.

During a recent update, the colour of their armour and equipment was darkened, and the colour of their boots was changed from brown to black. However, the Black Knight in Port Sarim's prison was not affected. Also, the black knight you face in the quest Wanted! has not been changed.
