History
The Order of the Black Knights was created in the modern where it was crafted from citizens of Area 11 that was formerly known as Japan that had been conquered by the Holy Britannian Empire. After its conquest, a number of Japanese resistance cells were created such as the Japanese Liberation Front that opposed Britannian forces but never managed to be an effective force against their occupiers. This changed during Viceroy Prince Clovis la Britannia's orders to purge Shinjuku Ghetto with their forces being attacked by Japanese resistance fighters. Despite their resistance, they were losing against the Britannian forces until a mysterious figure took command of the Japanese resistance forces and turned them into an effective fighting force. They managed to combat the Britannian military and the individual managed to get Prince Clovis to call a ceasefire allowing the rebels to escape. Afterwards, Prince Clovis was killed and it was revealed that it was at the hands of the mysterious figure who began calling himself Zero. The masked individual took control of that Japanese resistance group and got their assistance to free honorary Britannian Suzaku Kururugi. Following that, the fame of Zero and his involvement in Clovis's assassination led to more serving under his banner. With this group, he turned the rebels into a fighting force that he called the Black Knights that quickly rose to becoming the leading the resistance force against Britannian rule.
The growing actions of the Black Knights attracted the attention of Kyoto who decided to ally with them and gifted them custom Knightmare Frames.
The Japanese Liberation Front Hotel Incident was the public debut of the Black Knights where Zero introduces the Black Knights to the world as an organization that protects those without power from those who have it. Though Lelouch reorganized the Black Knights to form a structured hierarchy and chain of command, the Black Knights rely heavily on his masterful strategies, unable to act effectively when he has not given them specific orders. The Black Knights have gained popular support amongst the Japanese population with more members joining in ranks. The Battle of Narita was the first major battle for the newly formed Black Knights. Recognized for their success, Taizō Kirihara and the Kyōto House decided to sponsor the Black Knights with personal and financial support, including granting them the Guren Mk-II Knightmare Frame. All other resistance groups in Japan, including the Japan Liberation Front, eventually joined the Black Knights. Under Lelouch's leadership, the Black Knights grow in strength exponentially, becoming a force rivaling the Britannian army. The Special Administrative Zone Massacre was the turning point for Lelouch and the Black Knights with Lelouch declaring the formation of the United States of Japan, a nation of acceptance and tolerance where any and all can seek refuge and openly declares war on Britannia with the Black Knights participating in the First Assault on Tokyo Settlement. During the battle, the group falls apart when Lelouch suddenly abandons them. In the process, both senior knights, Yoshida and Inoue, along with Kizuna Kagesaki, are killed. Several key members are arrested by Britannia, while others go into hiding.
