Would that be all that bad, though, or unmanageable? Technically Dragoons already do the same thing. Taking in the power of the enemy to defeat the enemy. Same could possibly be said for Voidspawn-empowerment! It'd take some adjustment, I'm sure, but I think Martiallais would be able to cleave to this new reveals and still remain the character you imagine them as.
And if it doesn't work? Make something up! "Hey, I'm a Umbral Blade. We're like the Dark Knights, but splintered off when they started delving into the powers of the Void. So, while we are similar... we are not the same."
(Totally wanted to use "Nightblade", before remembering there's two FCs who use that as a name.)
Given that Dragoons are sanctioned by the See and fight for/protect Ishgard if Dark Knights did the same while turning that power -against- the corrupt (but likely appearing good) officials/nobles/etc it would drive the wedge in that much harder IMO. He's an Ishgardian and while (behind closed doors) he doesn't agree with everything the See does and the people leading it, taking the power of dragons and turning it against his own people would pretty much be jumping over the line to heretic-land.
Doable but not quite what I had in mind. I'd roll with it somehow, agreed but it would definitely take the character down a different path. It would be more 'any means necessary' than 'do the right thing at personal cost' if that makes sense?
Also Nightblades are from Elder Scrolls, too.
I think both guilds have a space in their names while the ES class doesn't.
