"It would be a shame to waste such skill. Perhaps we can come to some kind of arrangement... No? Disappointing."
― Lord Highgard

Lord Highgard (also referred to as simply Highgard) is the second Rage Knight the player encounters, and serves as the Knight Trial for Highgard. He utilizes Gunn and Balendu in combat.

Story

Highgard is a member of The Order of Rage, a formerly world-spread Order of Knights who used their battle prowess and the power of their Gauntlets to keep the peace in the land of Knighthood. Lord Highgard was a wise and strong leader of Highgard, and carried the vibrant city to an era of prosperity with his loyal Militia.

When Lord Karnon took over the lands, he corrupted Lord Highgard, causing him to become corrupt and power-hungry. He closed off the city of Highgard, blocking access to Mirefen and allowing roaming bands of Outlaws to terrorize the local villages.

Highgard initially sees the player Knight as puny and not worth worrying about, setting his Militia on them instead. After the Knight fights through to his castle, Highgard commends their strength and challenges them to a Knight Trial.

SPOILERS AHEAD!

Upon defeat, Highgard comments on the Knight's fighting spirit, reminding him of how he used to be, and clearing his corruption. He allows the Knight and Sir Edward Drakeson to pass, claiming he cannot change himself or his men, but that hope remains.

Highgard and the other rescued Rage Knights meet up with Drakeson and the player Knight to battle Karnon in the Realm of Fire. Karnon lures them up to the top of Mount Nexus and defeats them easily, and the player Knight encounters Karnon about to finish his portal to the Dark Ones' lands.

In a final act, Drakeson uses the power of his Gauntlet to destabilize the portal, stopping it from fully activating and vanishing from view. Furious, Karnon battles the Knight himself, but loses.

After Karnon retreats, the Portal Master helps the remaining Rage Knights by reactivating the portal enough to allow them to pass through and chase after Karnon. Together with the player Knight, they cross into Karnheim to take on the Dark Ones' forces directly.
