Order of the Black Knights

The Order of the Black Knights is a group of revolutionaries originally named Resistance which strove to liberate Area 11 from Britannia and to restore it to Japan. When Zero takes over the group under his command and introduces them to the world, he announces that their goal is to "help those without power who are threatened by the more powerful". They rescued Tōdō from the Britannian army and recruited Tōdō's group, thus adding on to the strength of the knights. The Black knights enjoy victories after victories under the leadership of Zero and started to gain support from the Kyōto house. With the Kyōto house's support, they have much more financial backing and more Knightmare Frames which is good in quality too. Soon, the Black knights started to expand and grow in strength. They then began preparations to invade Britannia.
