Horadric Knights were trained by the Lut Gholien elites and was created for one purpose only and that purpose was to defend Lut Gholien from Diablo and whom ever will to harm Lut Gholien again. For they suffered too much after the epidemic with Diablo before. They couldn’t always count on a lone hero to save there town so it has been 20 years since Diablo came threw Lut Gholien and all the better to up there defenses.
It has been claimed that only one Horadric Knight has ever survived the entense training, for that one night has said to have made contact with the legendary Genie whose name is still unknown who wanders vast the deserts. Many other Knights who were in training never finished their training because of lack of power, but the Knight who had the Genie's power completed his training and stood high amongst his fellow Knights . That Knight said that this genie spoke to him and told him that he once also lived in Lut Gholien from the time when this town was first build. The Genie said that he did indeed witness the terrible Diablo bring darkness to this town and offered the Knight part of his powers to defend against evil that would befall this land once more. On That note the Genie engraved his markings into the Horadric Knights torso and said "Never cover up these markings because it's they who will give you my power whenever you need them.
Before we continue let me just fill you in on what the character looks like. The character looks like an arabian knight with a very solid ripped muscular build. example. bare chested and ofcourse not the female version there will be something covering up the chest area, but will still reveal most of the Genie's markings, puffy aladin pants with them pointy genie shoes. The character can ofcourse where head armor but no chest armor. If your wish to wear torso armor your power from the genie will no longer be availble to you until you reveal the Genie's markings again. Anyway thats a little insight on what the character might look like. Lets move on shall we.
BACKROUND
The Knights were trained in three aspects namely, Mind, Body and Blade. They are very limited to warring bulky or any armor what so ever. It largely reduces there agility and therefore had to train in the scorching desert where the heat has devastating affects. Tempering and hardening there body’s to become resilient to heat and pain and enduring strenuous physical training to become very powerful yet very agile warriors. They also have a great understanding of the mind and threw meditation for many years; sometimes one meditation session will last for a year or so. Have achieved what no man has ever achieved for the Knight has the ability to use almost all of his brain power. The Knight is of course very resistant to fire but by using his magnificent mind power the knight can adapt to becoming resistant to lightning, poison and even frost. Rumors have been spread across the land saying that someone has seen the Knight going into a state of mind where any damage done to him gets blocked out completely but only for a brief period of time. It was later said that if the Knight would master this ability that he would become immortal if the rumor is true of course.
The Knight was also extensively trained with the Arabian Blade (as we know it) understanding it completely so to use it to its full potential. Some say that the Horadric Knight have wielded more that one blade without touching it with his own hands controlling them threw his mind. One of the Knights most unique ability is threw all the understanding of the blade and using the Knights mind power the knight can tap into the blades matter to unlock the blades into their true forms. However some very unique and rare blades have more than one level of true form. The Knight can also manipulate the elemental properties of his blade threw his mind and combine it with his unique attacks. The Knight has the ability to weild other weapons but some of the skills would not apply for them. Knights gain attack damage based on there dexterity not there strength. But strength is required to wield lager blades and for health aswell.
I’ve just listed some of the skills the character has. Please read and enjoy also give comments on how to improve or disprove any skills that might be to weak or to strong.

I will be updating it with more skills in the future. Please don't critisize to much lol thanks. Hope you enjoyed.
Not that bad of an idea. The general concept behind why theses knights first came to be is pretty original and believable. But please fix/edit your grammar/spelling. It is really hard to read your post with a steady train of thought when there are so many errors.

It's possible that English isn't his first language.
I think it's a neat idea, and you clearly put a lot of thought behind the history. I give this class suggestion an A-.
Cool. It was very nice you bothering in describe history and background. Regarding the skills I think there are too many skills which would simply increase blade damage and speed. You could rework this skill tree and explore more the idea of this genie.
As much as I loathe Star Wars and loathe even more using Star Wars analogies, I'm gonna go ahead and make a little point here about the Horadrim being like the Jedi. They once had a time where they thrived, then their time was over. What's left is remnants of old weirdos like Cain (Yoda) who trains prodigal students like Leah (Luke) to carry on the knowledge of the Horadrim, but not necessarily restore it fully. Assuming that is sort of the role for Leah.
The Horadrim is really meant to be an almost mythical order that now exists primarily to teach other orders a lesson. That it is not wise to be over-confident in one's abilities and the Prime Evils should never be underestimated.

The Horadrim is dead.
