The Opposition worked for the side of evil in Knightmare, typically acting as obstacles to be overcome by the players. Some members of the Opposition were easier to overcome (e.g. via bribery) than others.
In the early series, the Opposition was less regimented but it was dominated by the intimidating spectre of Mogdred. From Series 5, the Opposition became much more prevalent as an organised group with Lord Fear as their leader.
The sorceress Aesandre ruled the icy territory of Winteria and became an ally of Lord Fear during the fifth series of Knightmare.

Fatilla was a simple-minded barbarian guard that most Series 4 teams had to negotiate through bribes or by outwitting him.
Gibbet was a sour and vicious guard who watched over the wellway to Level 3 in the first series of Knightmare.

Olaf the Dead was a freelance Viking guard and raider who demanded loot or pillage to allow teams to continue.
Raptor was a bandit recruited by Lord Fear to lead his charge and replace Skarkill. Dim and superstitious, Raptor was not the success that Fear hoped for.
Skarkill was Lord Fear's first goblin master. Slimy and intimidating, he led the efforts to capture dungeoneers during a two-series run.

The Behemoth was an armoured warrior described as less than human. It seems to be an origin point for the frightknights, Lord Fear's mindless guards.
