True to their special status, the Tenebrous Knights were also garbed differently than any other squadron in the Church. Their hooded robes were the exact shade of green that matched the flames, and their style made it seem as if they were weapons, themselves. Tiny, burning skulls that looked like they were laughing flew all around the fabric, and seeing them, Jonah was reminded of the rumor that each of them represented a life that each Knight had taken.
