The Knight is just what Legion should have been...

The Legion was first introduced as a band of 4 killers and their power is to run around and stab people, but hey, you can play them in male or female flavor I guess.

The Knight is technically one killer, but he gets three more for free that all have their strengths and weaknesses that help him smite his foes as they are sent around the map.

I don't get why the killer that was marketed as multiple people does play as such. Hell, The Legion doesn't even have a Mori that features the entire group.

I think The Knight is cool, but I can't help but be disappointed that all these years later The Legion still has the most boring interpretation of their power while their concept in actuality was given to another killer. Also I thought it was funny that The Knight just has a power that I came up with for the Legion a few years ago.

Take a look if you're interested:

    Just speculation on my part but I think they wanted to take advantage of their new bot pathing they were working on this year to make a killer that used bots as companions. I wouldn’t be that surprised if they leveraged parts of the custom bot programming to be able to program the Knight’s guardians.

    I'm certain that's what his introduction was for, so he'll almost certainly be getting better over time, though I'm still quite disappointed that it seems as though The Legion won't get any sort of 4 man play in the future considering their concept.

    Yeah, it would have been fun if Legion worked like this but water under the bridge at this point. 🤷‍♂️

    Legion or Cenobite would've been good options to have a similar power, I wonder if their powers would be different if they had A.I. ready back then

    See when i read legion's background this is what I had in mind before I saw their mechanics, it's a bit of a shame. They could've used this mechanic to rework legion.
