I think a good new knight character would be a (names -->) Duke or Templar. He or She would look like the knight captain (but customisable and historical armor please, like Gothic, captain armor already in for honor, and so on).

(Captain but can be customized, also pretend the longsword isn't there.) It would be cool if he/she wielded a bastard sword and kite shield. I think this is good for the business, because you already have your beginning armor (captains armor). You already have a bastard sword (peacekeepers big sword). Also kite shields are sometimes littered around maps and even found on weapon racks. Remember, a kite shield is NOT the shield that conqueror has (he wields a heater shield)!

(picture of kite sheild) By stats he/she could be a hybrid class of warden and conqueror (given shield). He/She would have warden health, however no all block stance which trades for lots of stamina, centurions would have a hard time draining this guy's/girl's stamina! Also if its a girl we can tell by putting hair coming out of the back of the helmet and/or a bit thinner cause apparently that's how people extinguish if male or female.
His or Her attacks would be like wardens but top heavy attacks are a easily dodge-able attack. There could be a charge shield bash like wardens shoulder bash but knocks over enemy after full charge hit, easily punishable, and NEEDS to be fully charged to activate and cant cancel after activation (this means you can stop charging up).
He or She can kinda deflect but only top heavy, this equals in a unblockable stab. runs as fast as conqueror. light attacks are as fast as conqueror's light. heavy as fast as warden's heavy attacks.
Area attack could be hold shield above head and front area strike, but please no spinning. NOTE that when there is a final blow heavy, like conqueror don't have it pierce body, hit and not be in body please.
Cosmetics:
(executions) 1. two side bashes with shield 2. grab shoulder and throw to ground a stab enemy 3. stab enemy and slowly lift enemy over you with shield 4. hit with shield and cut off head.
(ornaments off of my head) 1. feather 2. crown made/welded into helm 3. sharp point 4. angel wing on back of head 5. three spears from forehead
(emotes - idle) 1. raises kite shield and bashes it three times (i would like to name this VICTORY) 2. points sword forward and yells (could be name CHARGE) 3. face palms with shield and shakes head 4. falls to legs and sighs then gets back up
(emotes - battle) 1. puts shield over themselves 2.tosses up sword and catches it 3. bashes shield once 4. puts sword over chest and bows quickly
Feats 1. body count - conqueror - rush - fast recovery 2. no bleed - knockdown - come out me - fiat lux 3. second wind - pugno nutoris (bombs) - fear - crossbow 4.
regenerate - stalwart banner - catapult - deploy minions here/there (that would be cool, and if it made a conquest point contested if enemy, since this character was kinda based off of captain it would make sense)
PROS
1. good business wise since you already have the character model and short/bastard sword model along with the shield. I mean the KITE SHIELD pops up here and there on maps.
2. I listed a lot of stuff so you guys don't have to make up most of this stuff!
3. Fits knights more than Romans, and could replace the gladiator class that may come up in season 3.
4. Balanced (I hope)
5. Can be a centurion stopper (for any of those centurion haters out there)
6. Would ad more realism in the game (historical wise, if no fantasy like gear that I please ask you not to do!), people lately want realism in this game.
7. If your not making any fantasy gear you can look up the historical armor of Europe, you don't have to take time to make it up and it still fits with the game!
8. A cool new "spice" or add to the game.
CONS
1. May change plans but I hope that wont stop you! I made up a lot of this stuff! You don't need the time to make stuff up!
If you guys are going to do this and need ideas for armor ask me or look it up! Its not that hard if you go to trustworthy sources! I hope you can see if something is fantasy or not! GOOD LUCK AND THANKS FOR READING!
There's a lot of talk here about a "musketeer" character for the Knights, so here's my 2 cents on a new knight character along those lines, armed with a rapier.

It would be nice for people to comment if they like and what to maybe change
