By 130 ABY, Emperor Roan Fel was a fully-trained Imperial Knight, and the leader of the organization. The Imperial Knights swore loyalty to their Emperor, serving the Force as embodied by him.

Though they did not draw on the dark side, they did not strictly follow the light side either they were viewed as Gray by the New Jedi Order, and in turn regarded the Jedi as their cousins. They were fully trained in the ways of the Force and rejected the dark side of the Force, unlike previous Imperial Force-based organizations. The Imperial Knights, formally the Knights of the Empire and known also as the Imperial Jedi, were an order of Force-practitioners loyal to the Galactic Emperor of the Galactic Empire, known as the Fel Empire.

We do our duty by the Emperor and by the Force-no matter the cost." ― Sigel Dare
