Appearance and personality
Knoquehardt has dark grey skin with golden lines resembling the skin of Machina and short black hair. He wears a Kevesi chestplate with a vest and goggles with an orange visor covering his eyes.

Knoquehardt has a brash and loud personality, often expressing himself through shouting instead of talking. He loves Levnises and has a brutal training program, enough to make some soldiers desert Colony 11. He isn't very popular.

Indomitable
Knoquehardt is training against Clad in a Levnis when the party rushes to Clad's aid, believing him in trouble against two Levnises. Knoquehardt gets mad at them for destroying their Levnises, but Clad decides to forget about it if the party fights him in a rematch.

Merciless Pursuit
Some soldiers from Clad's unit deserted Colony 11 due to Knoquehardt's harsh training. After getting an awful scolding from Clad, Knoquehardt is tasked with bringing them back to the colony. Desperate to avoid a worse scolding, were he to fail, he asks for Widow and Strider's help to track them, as well as the party's help. They follow the deserters' trail deep into High Maktha Wildwood, where the party ends up fighting them with Widow and Strider's support while Knoquehardt watches, arguing he can't fight because his Levnis, wrecked by the party, is still in repairs. The deserters are defeated and Knoquehardt pushes them into harsh training as punishment for their behavior.
