Because of this reputation, the most impetuous and glory-hungry of the Knight households are driven to bond with these war machines, their own souls a match for the fury caged within their war engines.{{Fn|1}}
===Xanite Knight Lancer===The Xanite Knight Lancer is an experimental [[Chaos Knight|Chaos]] pattern of the Knight Lancer. It was designed to maximize the sensory data given to the Xanite's pilot and to have the suit move at blistering speeds. To achieve this, the Xanite's back is built out with several fuel tanks and thrusters, which allow it to launch forward at incredible velocities. However most of the suit's armor has been removed, along with its [[Ion Gauntlet Shield]]-arm. To compensate for this, the Xanite's top half is equipped with an [[Adeptus Titanicus]] [[shield generator]]. These design choices give it an overall lop-sided carcass-like appearance and the Xanite is also considered to look sinister and unnatural. The suit's blank face plate adds to this, as it has been painted an expressionless gloss black.{{Fn|7}}
