Maximillian Knights

The Maximillian Knights (マクシミリアン騎士団, Makushimirian Kishi-Dan) were a knightly order that existed in the old Scarlet Moon Empire.

Information
The Maximillian Knights were established by their namesake, Maximillian. They fought for the Scarlet Moon Empire until, at some point in the past, they chose to aid the City-State of Jowston in one of their wars with the Highland Kingdom. For acting without permission, the order was officially disbanded. During the Gate Rune War, Maximillian and his squire, Sancho, joined forces with the Liberation Army to overthrow the corrupt Scarlet Moon Empire. Maximillian, now without his squire, aided the New State Army during the Dunan Unification War, once again fighting against the Highland Kindom. He then retired, his grandson Fred Maximillian taking over the leadership of the Maximilian Knights. He joined the forces of the Fire Bringer

During the Sun Rune War, Isabel and Mathias fought for the ideals of the Maximillian Knights as part of the Imperial City Recapture Army. Isabel's father had been a Maximillian Knight before the group's censure.

Emblem
The emblem of the Maximilian Knights is a gold bird with both wings spread. This emblem is always worn on the front of the armour of a Maximilian Knight. The symbol was spotted first on an amulet worn by Gary, a hundred years before Maximillian's birth. It is unknown if he is connected to the Maximillian Knights in any way, but he already represented the ideal of justice of the order. Mathias, while not a Maximillian Knight himself, wore a similar symbol, but instead of gold, it was red.
