* Uh... One problem with that: If both Shovel Knight and Plague Knight's endings, Specter Knight is still undead and kicking even after the end of the Enchantress. This campaign definitely has its work cut out for it when it comes to answering questions.

[[WMG: Specter Knight's fight against the Enchantress would be about his free will.]]
It's quite easy thinking the other playable knights battling the Enchantress, but it becomes a different story once we talk about Specter Knight. He's loyal to the Enchantress because she's the only one who can prolong his undeath. In the main campaign he repeatedly affirms his faith in her invincibility. It's pretty obvious he wants to live for whatever reason he has, and him fighting the Enchantress is impossible... unless we think deeper. The exact words are "begrudgingly loyal", which means he's doing whatever the Enchantress wants him to do even if he doesn't agree with it. Sometime along the way, he'd want to do his own thing without the threat of going back to death. Specter Knight's cause would probably be to battle her for his free will. He may be cruel, but he was once human too.

See the Phase Locket WMG above. And Specter Knight was reanimated by the Enchantress - what happens once she's out of the picture?

I just think with so many planned campaigns on the way (playable Spectre Knight, King Knight, and Shield Knight on top of the already released Plague Knight) there could be potential for some kind of final story to bring everything together. Possibilities could include:

[WMG: King Knight conquered Pridemoor Keep because of a misunderstanding]]
The Enchantress could have sent him to deal with a king near the village that may try to aid Shovel Knight in his quest. King Knight immediately assumed she was referring to the king of Pridemoor Keep and took over. She was actually talking about the Troupple King. To add to it, Pridemoor Keep and the Troupple Pond are right next to each other on the world map.

* The destruction of the Tower of Fate has released something far worse than the Enchantress, putting the previous playable characters in a sort of "do or die" situation.

* A new campaign starring Black Knight.

* Something involving the Trouple King. I did always kind of wonder if "pledging your allegiance to him" for his help could have been foreshadowing anything...

* Considering Love was the focus more than once, the Dancer could even turn out to be a former lover of Specter Knight and he did something to make the relationship go wrong, probably related to his death, and by the end of his scenario that could be fixed.

* Plausible, even if it doesn't happen exactly like that King Knight's scenario surely will paint him in a new light if the trend continues, surely none, or very few, expected Plague Knight's Plague of Shadows to be about Love the same way it was for Shovel Knight.

[[WMG: King Knight's dlc campaign will show that his original intentions were actually quite noble.]]
It's possible that the true king of Pridemoor Keep was actually more sinister than he seemed. King Knight joined the Order of No Quarter and overthrew him to dethrone a tyrant. However, once he took the throne as his own, he was ultimately corrupted by the luxuries that came with it, becoming an even worse tyrant in the end.

* Might I add a possible reason for the importance? The Phase Locket may be important because [[spoiler:it's what keeps Specter Knight in a state of undeath. If something were to cause it to break or something along those lines, the magic would wear off, and he goes back to being a corpse. He'll be fine as long as the locket is intact, which is why Shovel Knight and Plague Knight stealing it doesn't impede him at all, but since he doesn't have it anymore, he's no longer in control of his state.]]

** What's more, this is likely the reason why [[spoiler:Shovel Knight "defeats" Plague Knight when his back is turned, and why Shovel Knight abandons the entire order after the Boss Rush. In other words, it's Plague Knight's take on those particular events, and being a villain, naturally he would paint Shovel Knight as doing things Plague Knight himself likely would have done...]]

[[WMG: King Knight was once a servant at Pridemoor Keep]]
* In the ending of Shovel Knight's story, it is shown that King Knight has been forced to scrub the keep floors by the rightful king. Now, this may simply be a case of karmic justice, but it isn't consistent with the other knights' endings. Treasure Knight's stolen loot is reclaimed, but otherwise the knights are free to go about their business. So why is King Knight punished with servitude? Easy, he was a servant at Pridemoor to begin with, and he's just back in his proper place! It would certainly explain why he jumped at the chance to usurp the throne....

* The second part is a bit more WMG, but Polar Knight seems to be quite a sad fellow who abandoned his honour, perhaps even a DeathSeeker. Having lost a daughter could be a reason for that, and Shield Knight fits his norse theme, bringing the image of a Shield Maiden to mind.

[[WMG:[[spoiler:Either Spectre Knight or King Knight will save Shield Knight.]]]]
* The ''Plague of Shadows'' expansion revealed [[spoiler:why the Tower of Fate was destroyed after the Enchantress was defeated, with Plague Knight detonating the Ultimate Potion]]. Yet, we still do not know [[spoiler:how Shield Knight survived the Enchantress' last ditch attack]]. Therefore, in a future expansion, it's likely that [[spoiler:either Spectre Knight or King Knight will end up saving her in someway or another]].

[[WMG: Polar Knight is Shovel Knight's mentor, and Shield Knight's father]]
* He wields a shovel much like Shovel Knight and Black Knight, and seems to know both of them really well (as his dialogue with Shovel and his ending in ''Plague of Shadows'' show). Coupled with being clearly older than them, it would make sense for him to be an Obi-Wan figure to the younger shovelers.

* Since the Shovel Knight amiibo will unlock co-op mode, it seems it would only make sense to give the other three campaigns the same bonus, via amiibo of said bosses. Further, this will allow players to mix and match their teams - first player will play as the main character of that campaign, while the second player plays as whichever knight they've entered via amiibo.

* Plague Knight goes through his adventure first, a step ahead of the Shovel Knight. He trades all the items for Chester, from whom Shovel Knight can later buy them, as well as entering his own level just before SK follows him there and fights him. SK fights the Enchantress very soon after PK, too, and [[spoiler:him and Shield Knight are busy fighting her true form even as PK deals with his potion battle]]. In the end, [[spoiler:Plague Knight is of course the true cause of the Tower of Fate's explosion, whilst Black Knight disappears to help Shovel and Shield Knights escape]]. The ending scenes of all knights are, for the most part, entirely compatible - they can all happen for everyone, taking place on different days or such. Anything that does not fit, such as Plague Knight fighting off most of the Order in the BossRush instead of Shovel Knight, is chalked off to [[RashomonStyle differences in perspective]].
