The Knights of Byzantium and their Clerics
The Knights of Byzantium were a military order composed by both knights and clerics. Sworn enemies of Glorificus, they came into conflict with Buffy Summers, the Slayer, and the Scooby Gang because of their goal to kill Buffy's sister, Dawn, as they were fanatically devoted to destroy the Key to prevent it from falling in Glory's hands.
