Joseph Khumalo, aka "Knight", was a Terran Confederation fighter pilot assigned to the TCS Tiger's Claw. He was born in Kroonsdad, South Africa in 2618. He was known as a reliable wingman who was steady under fire. He flew at the McAuliffe Ambush as a wingman for Maria Alvarez under the rank of second lieutenant. During the battle, Alvarez and Khumalo attacked a Kilrathi transport. After strafing from its rear down its belly they turned to find a swarm of enemy fighters. Rather than maneuver away from his wingleader, Khumalo fired as quickly as possible and destroyed multiple enemy fighters which were attacking Alvarez. Alvarez replied "Ooh, eet's my White Knight", earning Khumalo his callsign. He also received a Ace Perfomance Service Ribbon for the dogfight. He was featured in Pilot Profiles in April 2654, at which time he held the rank of Captain.
