At the risk of causing unintentional trouble, I have to ask. If Steel wishes to engage her fury and you want to tank then why not go Marauder and Warrior?
The Dark Knight isn't some furious reaper of souls, nor is it Batman. *Eyes the jokesters* Cecil was a Dark Knight because he committed acts of terrorism, murder, and theft in the name of his kingdom and his liege. He was corrupted by an outside force, the fiend of water posing as the King. I won't pretend to know about the Dark Knight in XI, but the concept of the character type seems very different from what you described Steel. Free Knights are trained and in some cases "knighted" by kingdoms, hence the "Ser" but they're not paladins or remotely do-gooders. That's too monochromatic for a personality design.Â
Maleagant had the lofty ideals of the knight, but chose to make war against the kingdom of Camelot because he believed Arthur was weak. He stole Guinevere away and challenged the great kingdom outright, but he was no barbarian. (Some of my info is from story and some from the portrayal of the character in the film First Knight)
Damodar in the terribad D&D films was as evil as they come as far as most could tell, a fallen knight indebted to a wizard and infected with some parasitic monstrosity. But there is a key scene where he uncharacteristically shows remorse in interrogation of the wizard Marina. (Yes, horrible movie but the point is still sound.) Yes, from the beginning, he was a henchman but Profion (the archetypical bad-guy) forces him to continue service by infecting him.Â
These remind me of the classic Dark Knight type.Â
Again, I apologize if this post is inflammatory in any way and I'm certainly not telling anyone how to play the game they pay for. Just asking questions and providing a talking point.

What a colossal waste of time and energy.
