Knight Champion

Knights in Monitor compete constantly for the title of Knight Champion. Only the bravest may possess it. To be Knight Champion is to be the finest warrior in the land. Anyone who defeats a Knight Champion in the Arena can claim the Helm of Courage.

In Ultima VII Part Two the tile had been vacant, as the goblins had mardered the prior Knight Champion Astrid and stolen the Helm of Monitor in the process, meaning that no new champion could be found for the time being. After the Avatar had killed the goblin king and many goblins in order to reclaim the helm, the hero was officially accepted as the new Knight Champion, since having themselves proved worthy of holding this title by reclaiming the artifact.

Trivia

 * Prior to Serpent Isle, Astrid was the last Knight Champion. Her murder by the goblins is an important story point.
