Silent Knight is Brian Kent, a medieval superhero from 6th Century England. He lived at the time of King Arthur and shared some battles with the Knights of the Round Table and the wizard Merlin. Lady Celia Penbrook (the reincarnation of Princess Chay-Ara) was one of the travelers whom he had rescued and they eventually fell in love. It was later implied that Brian was a past avatar of the Hawk-God, or a past incarnation of Hawkman. The Silent Knight achieved great fame and became a symbol of freedom to those citizens who were oppressed. Sir Oswald Bane saw the Knight as a threat to his rule.
Silent Knight was created by Robert Kanigher and Irv Novick, first appearing in The Brave and the Bold #1 (1955).
