the Hollow Knight

the Hollow Knight (a.k.a. the Pure Vessel)

The Vessel chosen and groomed by the Pale King to contain the Radiance. They were raised into a peerless warrior and wielder of Soul, but in the end they proved less hollow than the Pale King believed. Their hidden emotions provided a foothold for the Radiance, and so the Infection continued and Hallownest died. An unknown eternity of agony later, they were freed from their imprisonment and torment by Knight and Hornet, but their shade’s return to the peace of the Hallownestian Void was diverted by the shade of the Pale King and forced into servitude once more, acting as a warrior and guard for the Pale King hidden inside Knight’s Void. Years later, they were found and freed once more when Knight and his compatriots ventured into Knight’s soul as part of a ritual to replace Knight's mask. The Hollow Knight has since been made physically whole again and has found a home in New Hallownest.

Apparel & Accessories

The Hollow Knight is currently wearing blackened full plate armor (the Blackened Full Plate of Durence) and wielding a golden longsword. Attached to their cloak is a pin that allows them to fly.

Specialized Equipment

The Hollow Knight is accompanied by Ibix, a clockwork parrot who is touch-telepathic and can speak for those he touches. Ibix was first discovered by Knight shortly after Knight first entered Renedge, but as Knight gained the ability to speak when he became an Ex-Vessel, he eventually chose to pass Ibix on to a sibling who had much greater need of him.
