As the name implies, Knight is a melee-range Kamen Rider designed for chivalrous 1-on-1 combat. His armor is rather simplistic compared to the other riders. The only weapons Knight uses are either his rapier (which is also his card-reader) or his Sword Advent, which resembles a short-lance. Aside from DarkWing, Knight lacks any sort of far-range weaponry. He only has a cape while DarkWing is mounted onto his back, usually for his Final Vent "Flying Lancer" which involves being wrapped up in his cape and slamming into the enemy like a drill. Once he obtains the Survive Card from Tezuka, Kamen Rider Raia, he still uses his sword and has a Shoot Vent for ranged combat.

Kamen Rider Knight's name, ナイト (Naito, ナイト^?) also sounds like the English "Night", which could also refer to his color scheme which reflects darkness and nighttime (his color is dark navy). Also, his monster's motif is based on a nocturnal creature. While in his Survive form he has a cape on constantly, making him one of the few Kamen Riders in the entire franchise to wear a cape. The English language is a West Germanic language that originates in England. ...

Background

Ren Akiyama is a cold loner who fights constantly and is frequently unemployed. He received is Vent deck before the start of the series. He accepted kanzaki's offer to join the Rider war to give his girlfriend, Eri Ogawa, a full recovery, who has been in a mysterious coma ever since an encounter with Dark Wing. Ren then contracted with Dark Wing and became Kamen Rider Knight.

After meeting Shinji Kido, Kamen Rider Ryuki, he would still persist to fight any and all Riders. Over time he eventually softened up and slowly came to return Shinji's constant offers of friendship. He and Shinji would oftentimes fight Mirror world monster together mainly to protect the innocent. Throughout the series they formed a somewhat of a rivalry, which Ren took more seriously than Shinji because of the Rider war.

He eventually ends up as the last Rider. All the other Riders had died, but it was Shinji's death in Episode 49 that devastated as he had finally accepted Shinji as a close friend. Ironically enough however, Shinji's dying words galvanized Ren into bringing the war to an end. Shiro Kanzaki brought him to fight the remaining Rider, Kamen Rider Odin. As he was about to lose, Yui Kanzaki asked her brother to stop the war. He then destroyed Odin to make Ren the final rider. Ren used the wish to save Eri's life as he was dying for the wounds from his fight. After Shiro restored time to its proper course after Yui's death, Ren and Shinji had no memory of being Riders, thus they are unable to recognize each other.

In the TV Special, he pushed Ryuki out of the way and took Verde's Death Vanish Final Vent. He shook the damage long enough to kill Verde with his Flying Lancer Final Vent. This was similar to how Kamen Rider Raia died in the series, pushing Ryuki out of the way to receive the Final Vent. Shortly afterwards, he died on Shinji's arms after giving him the Knight deck, making Shinji Kido the first character to be two separate Riders in the same series.
