Summary
Promethean Knights are a class of mechanized Forerunner Promethean warriors created by the Ur-Didact toward the end of the Forerunner-Flood war to combat the Flood. The Promethean Knights are ancient Prometheans and Humans that the Composer altered by giving them a mechanized body that is immune to the Flood, which can only infect living tissue.
The Knight Lancer is a variant of Promethean Knight explicitly designed to secure elevated positions from which they can survey the battlefield, unleashing accurate and lethal fire from massive range. As such, they are primarily used as scouts, vanguards and snipers, and are extremely accurate from great distances using Promethean Vision to track their targets.
Knight Commanders are a class of Promethean Knight that serve as the group leaders among other Promethean Knights. They can wield Incineration Cannons, boast stronger armor, and can deploy floating Autosentry turrets to further distract and overwhelm the enemy.
Knight Battlewagons are the most dangerous and unpredictable of the Promethean Knights and can be considered more of walking weapons than individual combatants. Created for close-quarter combat, Battlewagons are heavily armed and armored, serving as a last line of defense when other forces have failed. Their hulking frames are covered in dense, resilient armor. Battlewagons have been known to singlehandedly lay siege to even the most heavily fortified of sites.

Knights are also remarkably agile, and in addition to using their limbs for conventional movement they are also capable of translocating over moderate distances, allowing them to either swiftly retreat from the battlefield or to flank their enemies, as well as teleport multiple times in quick succession to simultaneously disorient enemies and rapidly close the distance between them. Some high ranking Knights such as Battlewagons are skilled enough to singlehandedly destroy even the most heavily fortified of sites.)
