The Black Knight is seen during the Argent Tournament, the predecessor to The Grand Tournament. He is challenged to combat, and eventually defeated by champions wielding the 
Argent Lance.
He appears later in the Crusaders' Coliseum for a rematch with undead skin and in the process of fighting, he loses his flesh, becoming The Skeleton Knight. He later loses his bones during the fight, turning into a ghost.
This section uses content from Wowpedia.- The Black Knight is an agent of the Lich King, sent to disrupt
Tirion Fordring's Argent Tournament in Northrend. He can be found near the eastern end of the Argent Tournament Grounds in Icecrown. - After flying into the coliseum and slaying a herald of the crusade (either Arelas Brightstar or Jaeren Sunsworn), the Black Knight was defeated by the champions who were training there.
