The Knight starts off with an Old Nail and the ability to heal itself with the use of Soul. Hornet also states that once the Knight obtains a Void Heart and gains back its memories, it will have the power to unify the Void under its own will, and claim himself the new King of Hallownest. The time that the Knight has spent out there has caused a temporary amnesia, but granted it strength and resilience. Hornet mentions in the City of Tears that the Knight is 'born from two voids', one being the Void that the Knight was created in, and the other the area outside of Hallownest. It is unknown how it escaped the Abyss, but many of its siblings did as well - though only the Knight survived. It was created in the Abyss, which was later sealed. The Knight is a strange being known as a Vessel, created by the higher beings The Pale King and The White Lady. The Knight in Hollow Knight is the protagonist of the game. The Knight begins its journey through the ruins of Hallownest, seeking answers to the mysteries of its own past. The story of The Hollow Knight begins with the protagonist, The Knight, arriving in Dirtmouth on the border of the old kingdom. The kingdom came to ruin, and the Pale King mysteriously vanished in the chaos, along with his court and palace. The Infection began to leak out, once again corrupting the minds and bodies of everyone in Hallownest.

The Hollow Knight’s shell eventually cracked due to a small flaw in its purity (its emotional attachment to its creator and father, the Pale King, who raised and trained it). The Dreamers entered stasis to protect the Hollow Knight's slumber. Monomon and Lurien volunteered to become Dreamers while Herrah made a deal with the Pale King to produce a child. Monomon was a jellyfish-like scholar and teacher, Lurien was the enigmatic watcher of the City of Tears, and Herrah was the rebellious queen of Deepnest. The Hollow Knight was then locked inside a vault called the Black Egg Temple to prevent the Infection from ever manifesting again, for the safety of Hallownest.įor extra protection, the Pale King appointed three bugs, known as the Dreamers to make a seal that would stop the Infection. This Pure Vessel, called the Hollow Knight by the King, was then used as an instrument to seal The Radiance within it. Though thousands of Vessels were created, the Pale King only chose the purest Vessel to become the “Hollow Knight”. The Pale King countered The Radiance by creating Vessels, living insectoid beings made from Void, which the Radiance was powerless against, as they had ability to dream, or any freewill. The Radiance's plauge became known as The Infection. These visions caused the bugs to go become mindless, violent, zombie-like undead beings, suffering eternally. The Radiance, becoming malevolent after being forgotten, began to agressively appear in the dreams of the bugs of Hallownest in an attempt to re-establish its following. Among them were the Moths, who abandoned their old deity, The Radiance.

The mysterious King's good deeds and godly nature became very admirable to most creatures of Hallownest, the bugs began to follow him, and in doing so surrendered their archaic religious beliefs. He also sought to expand his kingdom to encompass all of the nearby lands and tribes.

He lowered himself to appear like the bugs that inhabited the land, and built up the kingdom of Hallownest, granting the beings freewill and sapience. Then a higher being known as the Wyrm traveled to the land of Kingdom's Edge and metamorphosed into the Pale King.

Before Hallownest existed, the land was split between tribes of insectoid and arachnoid beings: the moths who worshipped The Radiance, plant-like beings in Greenpath who worshipped Unn, the mantises, the mushrooms, the spiders and so forth.
