Lore:Gloam Knight
Gloam Knights are wraith-like Daedra who are incapable of feeling sympathy but can feel hate. They are embodiments of mystery, and are sometimes referred to as "Shadows of Nocturnal".[1]:221 As such, they can often be found serving the Daedric Prince of Shadows.[2][3] Their physical form can vary, with one example of this including their number of arms numbering from between two to six.[4][5] Gloam Knights possess the ability to speak and wield magic.[3]
Mortals are sometimes transformed into Gloam Knights,[6] though these are "mock-daedra" different from true Gloam Knights.[7] One such example was Veya Releth, a champion of Nocturnal.[6]
They can also be summoned by conjurers,[8] and they can summon lesser shadow creatures themselves.[3] The Dark Lady's Headrest, a curio linked to Vaermina, is said to conjure dreadful nightmares, manifesting visions resembling Gloam Knights.[9] One such entity, Ansuul the Tormentor, appeared in the guise of a Gloam Knight. However, due to the illusionary and mutable nature of Vaermina's Omens, it is uncertain whether Ansuul was a Gloam Knight or merely took on that form.[10][11][nb 1]
