The
Black Knights are a group of revolutionaries created by
Lelouch (under the guise of
Zero)
in his campaign to overthrow
Britannia. He introduces the group to the world as an organization which
protects those without power from those who have it. Under his leadership, the
Black Knights grow in
strength exponentially, becoming a force rivaling the
Britannian army. Ultimately, the
Black Knights
gain legitimacy when the newly-formed United Federation of Nations contracts the
Black Knights (organized
as a private military company) to become their military force.
