The way I define knight of Cerebus is a character who is dark and serious threat in a otherwise lighthearted setting that feels very out of place. Example: Marvel while having a cheesy movies almost always has a serious threat as a villain with some dark elements: Loki is said to of killed 80 people (I think it was 80 at least) in a few days or less in Avengers and tried to commit genocide (which would of cause the destruction of one realm I believe) in the first Thor film. Meaning unless another Thor/Avengers film is very lighthearted really can't count as it carries a very dark elements. Once a tone shifts though it's much harder to have one due to the sudden dark shift being there and you somewhat expect it more then at first. Basically it's setting must be a light hearted media (PowerPuff Girls, MLP etc.) or straight up comedy which then gets a villain who you would never expect to be allowed on.

Yeah consistency is very important to it. Had HIM kept the dark feeling from 'Speed Demons' he would be a perfect example. One of the best examples is from MLP King Sombra. I don't watch much but I know it's very light hearted but when he appeared I actually could tell he was by far the most evil and out of place character. If I need to explain more I will try to do it better.
