The Mana Knights are a faction in Secret of Mana. They are adult male members of the Mana Tribe who train as warriors and are tasked with protecting the Mana Tree from those who seek to steal or abuse its power. They are said to be the only people capable of wielding the Mana Sword, which one Mana Knight once used to stop the Mana Fortress from destroying the world.
In Final Fantasy Adventure and its remakes, Sword of Mana and Adventures of Mana, the Gemma Knights play a role similar to the Mana Knights.
In Echoes of Mana, the Mana Swordsman is the Mana Knight wielder of the Mana Sword, personally anointed but the Mana Goddess as her champion.
As the Hero is chosen by the Goddess to restore the lost dimensions, their twin is chosen by the False Goddess Dema to spread her Golden Tree through the worlds to destroy them. Believing to serve the true Goddess and the Hero to be hoodwinked by an imposter, their twin comes in conflict with them, unaware that they are the hoodwinked one.
In Visions of Mana, Daelophos has been anointed as the Mana Knight by the Goddess to restore balance and defeat the Benevodons. Alas, tragedy would drive him to the deep end, turning him into a threat to the world he used to protect.
