The black knights (aka dark riders & dark knights) are former kings whose souls had been stolen by Telgrin and infused into black armor.

Behind the scenes[]
The 'dark riders' are seemingly inspired by the Nazgul (ring wraiths) from the Lord of the Rings by J.R.R. Tolkien. Who were nine human kings that fell to Sauron's devices through the power of the one ring, becoming his greatest knights and enforcers.
The homelands of these kings are not known. But could be from anywhere including the continent of Daventry/Serenia, or elsewhere. It is also not known how long each king has been enslaved, although with a little work, one can figure out how long Telgrin has been the master of the castle, and likely started collecting souls.
