Personality:
Dane is motivated both by a legacy of duty, and atonement. He's trained his whole life for "fighting the good fight". He originally had a background in science, so while his weapons and powers are magical in nature, he's not lost in conversations relating to scientific matters. His Masters was in Physics, but he's also proficient in a variety of advanced sciences and technologies.
Powers/Abilities:
Swordsmanship, hand to hand combat, scientific knowledge and experience. Horsemanship as well
By the magic imbued in him, he enjoys mildly enhanced physical abilities, and some minor mystical abilities such as seeing through magic illusions.
The Ebony Blade, a magical sword forged from a meteor (vibranium??), passed down in his family along with the mantle of Black Knight. It's wielder is bonded to the blade by their very soul, allowing it to be summoned back to them if it should be lost, along with a laundry list of other traits:

cleaves mystical barriers
deflect energy when angled correctly
absorb all forms of energy
discharges force of its own
bypass intangibility
protection from mysticism
bestows an incredible healing factor
He also built a Light Shield into his left gauntlet, a scientific device that creates a shield of solid light to protect from physical attacks.
He rides his winged horse into battle, enabling him to fight on land as well as from the sky. He's been developing leadership skills, as well as strategic and tactical skills.
History: Dane comes from a long line of Black Knights, starting with Sir Percy of Scandia under the reign of King Arthur. His Uncle was the first in the current era to take up the mantle. Unfortunately, he did this under the direction of Hydra. His misdeeds were ultimately what led to his demise, being mortally wounded during the Hydra/SHIELD conflict by Iron Man, and he repented with his last breath as he begged forgiveness to Dane, passing on the title to him. With his uncle's death, he also inherited Castle Garret, in England, where he promptly relocated. There, he met the spirit of Sir Percy, himself, and was magically granted The Ebony Blade, becoming his primary weapon, as well as his winged steed, Aragorn. There was an early struggle when he reintroduced the world to The Black Knight, and people didn't realize he wasn't his uncle. The Avengers came to investigate the alarm that an Agent of Hydra was alive and well, resulting in a battle, but they eventually realized their mistake. He happily accepted the offer to lead an Avengers team, viewing it as an extension of his service as The Black Knight.
