Death knights are former [[paladin]] or other [[Lawful Good]] champion of martial combat that [[betrayed]] their ideals so horribly they were thus [[cursed]] by the [[deity|god]]s with [[undeath]] after falling into depravity. So [[corrupted]], they are usually filled with [[hatred]] for the living, though they somtimes associate with [[lich]]es or with [[skeleton warrior]]s and lesser [[undead]], the latter of which death knights can control as low-level [[cleric]]s of [[evil]] alignment might. A death knight has a number of potent [[spell-like abilities]] at its disposal, including [[Power Word Kill]] and a trademark [[fireball]] cast at 20th level ability. A death knight is protected by powerful [[spell resistance]], to which it can sometimes use to reflect [[spell]]s back upon their original casters. Furthermore, [[cleric]]s and other similar [[divine spellcaster]]s are unable to turn a death knight, though the death knight is affected by [[Holy Word]].<ref>[[Monstrous Manual]]</ref>
