KnightMan.EXE

"... MegaMan... Doubting the princess is not in my programming... Even if she is wrong, I must protect her. It is my way... Now... En garde!"

- KnightMan

ShadowMan.EXE is one of the antagonists of the Mega Man Battle Network/NT Warrior series. He was one of MegaMan.EXE's enemies, though is now an ally, and a partner of Princess Pride. In addition, while he is inspired by Knight Man from the classic series, his appearance also bears resemblance to Klaymoor from the Legends series.

Mega Man Battle Network 2
In this game, KnightMan is tasked by Princess Pride to control the traps in the dungeon after Princess Pride herself sends the participants of the ONBA conference there for Gospel. When MegaMan confronts him about his actions and motives, he shows signs of doubt that his actions are the right thing for everyone, but ultimately sets his doubts aside as he is not supposed to question the Princess or defy her orders in any way. He thus attacks MegaMan and is defeated in a NetBattle. He later appears in Gospel's servers, though entirely under Gospel's control and with the purpose of deleting MegaMan
