1 Warcraft

In the Warcraft Universe, Death Knights were paladins killed and raised from the dead by an Orcish necromant called Gul'dan.

In Warcraft games they were portrayed as:

1. The primary spellcasting unit of the orcish Horde in Warcraft II.
2. A warrior hero of the undead race in Warcraft III.

2 Dungeons & Dragons

In Dungeons and Dragons a death knight is a mighty warrior resurrected as an undead creature by the gods of death in order for it to lead as a general of undead armies. A paladin or lawful good warrior can also become a Death Knight after being cursed by the gods for committing a particularly evil act or betraying the code of honor it held in life.

Death Knights often have a variety of undead servants such as Skeleton Warrior's, Liches and BansheeThis article describes the banshee of Irish mythology. For alternate meanings see banshee (disambiguation). The banshee in Irish mythology is derived from the Gaelic bean-sidhe (Mod. bean si"), meaning "spirit woman". They are remnants of the Tuatha de Das.

A Death Knight retains its personality from its former life. It is condemned to remember its downfall through song on any night when the moon is full. Sometimes the chilling melody is sung by musicMusic often an art/ entertainment, is a total social fact whose definitions vary according to era and culture," according to Jean Molino. 1 It is often contrasted with noise. According to musicologist Jean-Jacques Nattiez: "The border between music and noally-inclined servants instead of the Death Knight itself. Whilst the song is being sung, the death knight will ignore the outside world, unless the song is disturbed, causing the knight to attack with utter ferocity. Death Knights still use the code of honor they held in life (never attacking from behind for example) and retains all of its fighting skills. They will never surrender and will only parley if their opponent possesses something they want (such as knowledge of the fate of a former family member).
