Talk:Watcher Knight/@comment-32330498-20180607234302

The "Black Knight" name they are given in the Kickstarter makes it seem that this boss's original plan to be a single enemy. I also think it was the main antagonist, as in some of the promo pictures (found in the Hollow Knight Press Kit) he is found seemingly stalking the Knight. However, due to changes in the storyline, I believe it was removed as the idea of vessels came into view.

My theory anyways.
