"It's our honor to meet a soul as tenacious as yours. We are the Knights of Beauty, and we'll show you our passion through our spears."
—Simulated Universe Occurrence: Knights of Beauty to the Rescue
The Knights of Beauty are a Faction that follow the Aeon Idrila, many believing THEM to be missing as opposed to deceased.
Description[]
"If I win, please admit that Idrila the Beauty is the most beautiful of all!"
Among the legions of Idrila's followers, the most infatuated with classical beauty formed the Knights of Beauty. They ride their faithful and dexterous mounts and chant ancient beautiful songs, as they fearlessly travel from planet to planet, extolling the name of Idrila to the beings of the universe.
The Knights of Beauty are extremely self-disciplined. They stubbornly abide by an obsolete creed known as the Code of Chivalry, believing that only through a perfectly refined body, mind, and spirit can they become truly worthy of worshipping Idrila. Despite their extraordinary strength, the major factions of the cosmos hold the Knights of Beauty in low regard: Warriors with only worship but little faith are but wastrels traversing the universe, and cannot form a powerful force.
Rumor has it that the Knights of Beauty do not believe in the fall of Idrila. They shuttle back and forth across the universe, their source of power still a mystery.Profile[]
Among Idrila's followers, the Knights of Beauty are the most infatuated with classical beauty. They chant beautiful hymns on their mounts and endlessly roam the universe, extolling Idrila's name.[1] While they tend to operate in solitude, they are known to also travel in groups.[2]
Due to the fractured nature of the faction, many of the Knights have taken up different stances on Beauty and Idrila,[3] however they all share the same Code of Chivalry.[4] There exists different groups of Knights, however, the only one currently known is Honorclad, of which Argenti is a part of. According to Argenti, the different groups of Knights can be visible from their engraved armor.[5]
The Knights of Beauty source of power is unknown.[1]
History[]
The Knights of Beauty used to be a respected Faction that traveled the stars in the name of Beauty.[6] However, sometime in the past, the Aeon Idrila fell and the Knights of Beauty disbanded.[7][8] While the Knights of Beauty still remained active, they began to roam around the cosmos as individuals rather than a group.[9] With the fall of Idrila, the Knights started to falter and many would lose their faith or honor.[3]
The Masked Fools would often amuse themselves with the Knights of Beauty while exploiting their faith for amusement.[10]
The Knights of Beauty now find themselves traveling the cosmos and helping those in need, regularly finding themselves in battles. Their exploits are not limited to combat, as many Knights would also assist others in improving their personal lives. The Knights of Beauty convinced a man only referred to as "Mr A" to stop throwing his trash on the street, and instead begin to clean the city. Another time, a Knight of Beauty helped create a culture of self-positivity among youths, teaching them that everyone has a unique brilliance.[1]
Present[]
When Pom-Pom decides to take the Astral Express to a Washtopia to clean the train up, the crew runs into Argenti, a Knight of Beauty. He had just saved an Interastral Peace Corporation member, Velite, from a cluster of Swarm units. Eventually, the group discovers that they were swallowed by a giant Swarm of unknown origin, but eventually break free when Argenti leaves the Express to fight the monster alone. He survives the battle.[11]
The Knights of Beauty were one of the several Factions invited to Penacony for the Charmony Festival, however they were yet to respond when the Astral Express arrived.[12] Eventually, Argenti arrives on Penacony (after some significant detours) and saves Aventurine from the Primordial Dreamscape. The Trailblazer and Firefly have a chance to run into him during the "Superstar Showdown" depending on the route they take. In the end they either convince him to stand down or defeat him, after which he wishes them luck on their mission.[13]

Trivia[]
- When Lesley Dean died in the Nebula's End crash and was remade in Penacony, he was given the story of a Knight of Beauty saving him. While the Trailblazer believes it could have been Argenti,[16] it is possible that no Knight of Beauty was involved, as Epsilon E-News express never mentioned one.[17]
