Beryl Hutchinson

Beryl Hutchinson is the vigilante known as Knight, the third in the lineage of British heroes to use the alias. Originally, Hutchinson served as Squire, the sidekick of the second Knight Cyril Sheldrake, who himself served as his predecessor's Squire before her. Upon his death, Hutchinson took up the mantle, taking a new Squire of her own.After Sheldrake was killed in battle, Beryl took up the mantle of Knight to protect the streets of London. She has been a member of Batman Incorporated and currently leads the British superhero team Knights Inc.A poor girl with brains and a love of the library, Beryl Hutchinson's life was forever changed when she and her mother stumbled upon Sir Cyril Sheldrake, the son and former squire of Percy Sheldrake, the Knight. Sir Cyril had lost his father in a gruesome run-in with Springheeled Jack, and the trauma drove him to alcohol and drugs, habits which wiped out his fortune. Beryl opted to help mend the broken hero, and with her help, he managed to overcome his addictions. Sir Cyril decided to take his late father's mantle for his own, and made Hutchinson his Squire. Together, they battled the many and varied supervillains of England, and later joined the international Ultramarine Corps. Beryl is trained in multiple martial-art forms and is an expert in the use of computers and communication equipment. As well as being an expert in swordplay, she also has a natural appitude for several forms of communication, including foreign languages, gestures, and interpretation. She can even read information patterns by touch.Following the death of Batman, Knight and Squire temporarily relocated to Gotham City to help quell the increasing violence. Robin partnered with Squire and together they helped Nightwing battle the street gangs trying to gain control of the city.[5] After this, Knight and Squire worked on a mission for Oracle at Blackgate[6] and later Squire worked with Damian Wayne to rescue Tim Drake from certain death during a struggle in Jason Todd's makeshift batcave.Batman later arrived in England, where Knight and Squire had since returned. Batman met up with Squire, having already contacted Knight with the idea of locating a Lazarus Pit in England to resurrect Bruce Wayne. Knight, it seemed, was already looking for the pit, but had lost contact with Squire. Squire worked with Batman to track down the pit (Hidden in an old coal mine), dealing with Old King Coal and his cronies (Who were also looking for the pit) along the way. When they finally located the pit, Knight had already submerged Bruce Wayne's corpse in it. Out of the pit emerged what was actually a sophisticated clone of Bruce Wayne, created during Final Crisis. Knight and Squire, along with Batwoman, helped to fend of the monstrosity, which managed to escape
