Knightfire

Daniel Foreman loved and honored his family. They raised him right and taught him the truth that the government, the schools, and the liberal media refused to show. His family taught Daniel about the destiny of the white race and how the bleeding hearts wanted to convince everyone that all people are equal, even when that obviously wasn’t true. Weren’t the slums full of blacks and Hispanics? Why would they be there if they weren’t as lazy and stupid as his father said? Wasn’t AIDS killing the queers? Why would they be dying if not because they were so hopelessly perverted? The Jews controlled the banks and influenced the media, making it look like Hitler was the villain when trying to exterminate the mongrel races was about the only thing he did right.
Dan grew up hating everyone who wasn’t like him. He particularly learned to hate the supers, most of who were dupes of the Zionist-run liberal government. Worse yet, some were even from the mongrel races and probably thought their powers made them better than decent folk. Where were the real heroes to show people the truth? Where was the White Knight to stand up for what was right? Dan wondered that all throughout his childhood, but the hero he hoped for didn’t appear.
As an adult, Dan ended up working in Freedom City as a security guard for a department store until his boss fired him for rousting and threatening a black patron. Dan proceeded to go out and get drunk, ignorant of what was going on around him. It was clear to him that Freedom City was just like everywhere else—run by the mongrel races and with no place for a real man. That’s when the stranger approached Dan and offered him his card. He had an offer, one Dan didn’t believe, so why refuse? He said Daniel Foreman could become the true hero he’d always wanted, if he really wanted it. Dan isn’t sure what happened, only that he found his way home and passed out.
He woke up to find his bedroom in flames! He panicked for a moment, but realized the fire didn’t hurt him or the new clothes he was wearing; in fact, the flames made him feel stronger—purer—than ever. He realized the vision he had was real. He had the power, and then he knew: the purifying fire of God had touched him, and made him into the hero the world needed. He was the chosen one who would purify the Earth with fire—the White Knight!
The White Knight became infamous in Freedom City as a hate-monger and a vicious terrorist, unswayable from his mission to purify the world. The more he fought—and lost—the hotter the flames of his hatred grew, until, one day, they consumed him. While fighting members of the Freedom League, White Knight set an office building in Southside ablaze. The heroes managed to save the innocent people trapped inside, but couldn’t get White Knight out before the entire building caved in on him. His body was later recovered from the burned-out rubble. But that was not the end of him. Daniel Foreman made a deal, and the terms of that deal delivered his soul into realms beyond mortal ken. Torment distilled his essence—until only the purest hate remained—before the spirit that was once Daniel Foreman was dispatched back into the world, no longer the White Knight, but the infernal being calling itself “Knightfire”. Still, its mission was much the same: sow the sparks and embers of discontent and mistrust, fan them into flames, and feed off of the burning hatred.
Knightfire returned to the world to stoke the flames of hatred and to wreck vengeance on the living. He has proven a far more persistent foe, able to take on any guise, hiding in plain sight until he chooses to reveal his true nature in a blaze of hellfire. The hate-wraith is a “gift” to those willing to accept the power to enact their hatred on the world, but his presence inevitably takes away their free will. So long as there is hate in the hearts of mortals, it may not be possible to truly destroy Knightfire; but he can, at least, be banished from the world for a time.

Physical Description

Special abilities

Knightfire is an incorporeal wraith—resembling a fiery, hooded humanoid shape—capable of merging with the physical body of a host and taking them over. He grants his hosts enhanced strength, physical resilience, and the ability to generate and project blue-white flames of hellfire— fiery mystical energy drawn from the netherworlds, but just as dangerous as real fire, if not more so. Knightfire’s host body is surrounded by flickering hellfire that damages anyone who dares lay hands on him.
Although known to pull off the occasional power stunt with his hellfire and other mystical abilities, Knightfire tends to be more vicious than clever, preferring straightforward attacks and tactics. He doesn’t hesitate to endanger others as a distraction, when useful. His hellfire has the potential to “burn” a target’s mind or spirit or to cause various physical or spiritual afflictions.
Knightfire can transform his host’s clothing into a duplicate of his mantle or other suitable garb to further his schemes. The person under the hood of the hate-monger is rarely the one his foes expect!

Mental characteristics

Intellectual Characteristics

White Knight was a twisted and sociopathic personality who considered everyone his inferior, particularly anyone who wasn’t white, male, heterosexual, or didn’t fit his extremely narrow-minded view of a “good” Christian.
Knightfire makes Daniel Foreman’s earthly incarnation seem almost pleasantly misguided: he is a true sadist, loving nothing more than to fan the fires of hatred in order to bask in their warm glow. Although Knightfire is fond of White Knight’s “kind of people,” he is an equal opportunity hatemonger, playing all sides against each other and perfectly happy to manipulate them into fighting for his satisfaction.
His preferred hosts are those with true hatred in their hearts, although he will sometimes try and possess an innocent both for the opportunity to corrupt and because it gives his enemies pause in dealing with him. This holds a risk, however: if they can convince the host to fully and truly reject hate, Knightfire is ejected from their body, so the truly kind and innocent are of limited use. The best hosts are those already primed to accept Knightfire’s brand of hatred, and the power that comes with it.
