Kon the Knight is a white, muscled horse covered in scales. He is a member of the Order of Zugzwang, and serves as one of the cults main enforces along with Slon the Rook.
Story
Kon, along with Slon, shows up in the Ancient Ruins to defeat Pankraz. They are easily defeated by the enraged father, but brutalize the man when Ladja blackmails him with the threat of killing his son.
Years later, Kon orchestrates the kidnapping of the Hero's wife with the help of Chancellor Jeeves of Gotha. Located at his hideout in Knightmare Tower, the fully grown hero shows up to rescue his wife and eliminates the conspiring chancellor along with the tower's defenses. While his pawns fail to vanquish the Hero, Kon is fully confident in his own abilities, mainly because he has a shield that makes him nearly invincible. Indeed, Kon has the upper hand in the first part of their battle as the Hero is barely able to inflict any damage onto him. However, in the midst of his gloating, the Hero's wife unexpectedly emits a light that dissolves the barrier, making him vulnerable.
Upon his defeat, Kon is baffled by what the Hero's wife managed to do to him and what it entails. In the originals, Kon will reveal to the Hero's wife that she is a descendant of the original legendary hero and, with his dying breath, turn her and the Hero to stone. In the remakes, Kon will instead call out to Bishop Ladja before dying. Ladja will then show up and reveal the Hero's wife her bloodline before turning the two into stone.
