Knight (騎士) or (ムラク)[1] or General (将軍)[2] is a powerful enemy that appears in a few versions of Prince of Persia.
PC98 and Sega CD version[]
The Knight appears in the PC98 and Sega CD, appearing solely in level 12 and replacing the Jaffar fight from the DOS version, the Knight also resembles the original appearance of Jaffar from the DOS version, whilst the real Jaffar has a distinctive new sprite.
He is identified as the second in command of Jaffar's coup in the manual for the PC98 version.
SNES version[]
The Knight is an elite guard of Jaffars Sultan that appears as an end-boss of the later levels. One Knight with a red plume and cape is first encountered as the boss of Level 16 with 10 energy units. In level 18, a second knight with a blue cape and plume is encountered, this knight has more health at 12 energy units. In level 19, the Blue Knight returns as the final opponent in the throne room boss rush.
They are very strong and are quite annoying as they can constantly block attacks the player tries to unleash at them. They can also be quite intimidating as well.
