Star Wars: Here are the names of The Knights of Ren
The Knights of Ren have been touted as a group of Force-sensitive mercenaries. We finally learn more about them in the Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalker Visual Dictionary, including their names.
We finally got to see The Knights of Ren in Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalker in action. It certainly wasn’t enough, but it was something.
Though there is more content for The Knights of Ren outside of the movie. They have been featured prominently in The Rise of Kylo Ren comic miniseries and had a pretty sizable spread in The Rise of Skywalker visual dictionary.

And did you know they actually have names?
No, there names aren’t vibro blade or hockey mask face. They have actual names that make them individuals rather than this group of faceless Force-sensitive characters who follow Kylo’s every order. Considering their fate in Episode IX, perhaps it doesn’t matter, but their names and details about each of them was revealed in the Visual Dictionary.
