In the Original Series, the Red Knight had brownish-maroon armor with a utility belt and a shoulder pad on its right shoulder with the Forever Knights insignia on it. It had a yellow V-shaped eye and two swords on its back.
In Omniverse, the Red Knight's armor is now crimson-red, and its utility belt and shoulder pad is now sangria-red in color. The shoulder pad has the updated Forever Knight insignia on it and its eye is now red. It now has a weapon on its right arm colored sangria-red.
History
Background
The Red Knight was created by Sir Driscoll to be his bodyguard.[pop-up 1]
Ben 10
The Red Knight first appeared in Ben 10 vs. Negative 10: Part 1 as a member of the Negative 10.
In Ben 10 vs. Negative 10: Part 2, the Red Knight is defeated by Perk Upchuck by spitting its own shuriken back at it.
Omniverse
The Red Knight returned in Return to Forever as part of Dr. Joseph Chadwick's Forever Knight remnants. It fought Ben and Rook, but was defeated.
In Bengeance is Mine, the Red Knight was among the Forever Knights who fought Ben and Rook in Pakmar's Loofah Emporium. After the store got destroyed, they disappeared.
In An American Benwolf in London, the Red Knight defeats itself by holding the Proto-Tool backwards and shooting an energy blast at itself, but was salvaged by mutated Chadwick.
Powers and Abilities
The Red Knight has enhanced strength, speed, agility, stealth and battle tactics.
The Red Knight has a limited self-repair system to repair minor damage.
Equipment
The Red Knight has an assortment of weapons, including energy swords and various shurikens and throwing projectiles.
Weaknesses
If the Red Knight takes enough damage, it will shut down.
Loud noises such as sonic booms or the large bell of the Big Ben Clock Tower can disrupt the Red Knight's system.[3]
The Red Knight's artificial intelligence may not be as advanced as other robots, as it accidentally shot itself in the chest while holding the Proto-Tool backwards.[3]

Notes
- ↑
The Red Knight page was originally created by an anonymous user who titled it "Forever Knight Ninja" on July 27, 2008. Coincidentally, a similar-looking enemy NPC was found in the Alien Force video game, which was released on October 28, 2008. This NPC shared the name then given to the Red Knight's page. The NPCs returned in Cosmic Destruction, released on October 5, 2010, now referred to as "Forever Ninja". Naturally, their information was added to this page by Williamteoh97 on February 17, 2010 and by Hurut on March 25, 2011, who presumed that the NPCs represented this character.
Meanwhile, the name "Red Knight" was first added to the page by Paradox fan on May 15, 2009, who cited pop-up trivia as a source (which is still lost), prompting a rename of the page by Aei-Kae-Aei on the same day. This was reverted by Kevinlevin13 on July 20, 2010, likely due to the mix-up with the video games' NPC. This went back and forth, with the page again being renamed to "Red Knight" by Zaxopify on April 3, 2011, and finally renamed to "Forever Ninja" by Bentenny10 on January 15, 2012, who cited Cosmic Destruction as a source. In that time, the Red Knight was referred to as the Forever Ninja (albeit erroneously referred to as a human) on a card released with the fifty-ninth issue of the Ben 10: Alien Adventures magazine, released in 2009.[mag 1]
Finally, the Red Knight was referred to by its true name in An American Benwolf in London. However, the Wiki continued to refer to the Red Knight as the Forever Ninja until January 8, 2024, when it was realized that the video game NPCs and the canon character are not the same. A separate page for the NPCs was created, titled Forever Ninja, and the initial page was renamed back to "Red Knight".[BTP 1]
