The Green Knight was an identity used by a noble family in the Lyran Commonwealth, a persona apparently assumed by several people over time (akin to the famous [[Bounty Hunter]]) rather than an individual person. Traditionally a woman, the Green Knight has reportedly fought [[Clan Ghost Bear]] in the [[Rasalhague Dominion]], hunted pirates on [[Butte Hold]], assaulted [[Tharkad]] during the [[FedCom Civil War]], and accompanied [[Devlin Stone]] into the [[Blake Protectorate]]. In the [[Dark Age]] the Green Knight was on [[All Dawn]] assisting the [[Timbuktu Collective]] against raids by the [[Rim Collection]].<ref>''Recognition Guide: ilClan, vol. 10'', p. 9</ref><br />

==Original Apocryphal Background==<br />
{{ApocryphalContentStart}}According to the original ([[apocryphal]]) write-up in ''[[TCI Model Set]] #5 — Archer & Crusader'', the Green Knight was a female [[MechWarrior (pilot)|MechWarrior]], associated with [[House Steiner]] and active in the late [[Succession Wars era]].<br />
<br />
Piloting an ARC-2R ''[[Archer]]'' painted green with black trim, she took part in Operation Crusader, a Steiner punitive raid against pirate king [[Redjack Ryan]] on his base world of [[Butte Hold]]. During the fighting she hid her 'Mech near the expected new site of Redjack's field HQ in a location identified as the Sahara II desert. The HQ was defended only by Redjack Ryan's cousin [[Angus Ryan]] in a CRD-3D ''[[Crusader]]''. The Green Knight killed Angus Ryan, but he in turn managed to destroy her ''Archer'' with a final missile, thereby saving the HQ. As the smoke cleared, Steiner 'Mechs appeared for recovery, and one downed aerospace pilot from Ryan's forces named Ridley who had witnessed the fight decided to withdraw from the area. The Green Knight's body was never found, and she was rumored to be on the prowl again afterwards.<ref>TCI Model Set #5, scenario "Operation Crusader"</ref><br />
<br />
Although no timestamp is given for Operation Crusader, context suggests it must have taken place during Redjack Ryan's reign on Butte Hold that lasted from [[3018]] to ca. [[3050]] (though his realm was merged into the [[Greater Valkyrate]] in late [[3028]]). It was noted as of ca. [[3025]] that no government dared move against him because of the many hostages he held, suggesting the punitive raid that was Operation Crusader took place early on, closer to 3018 than to 3025. It may have been a direct response to the [[Fianna massacre]] that led to Ryan setting up shop on Butte Hold in the first place.<br />
