The Knight of Mirrors is revealed to be Sansón Carrasco—an educated and slightly arrogant man who likes to mock others. He dresses up as various knights (The Knight of Mirrors, The Knight of the Spangles, and the Knight of the White Moon) to try and cure Don Quixote of his "madness" and put an end to his knighthood. When he loses in a sword fight against Don Quixote, he swears that he won't leave until he gets his revenge. Similar to many of Cervantes' characters, Carrasco is presented as neither good nor entirely bad; however, he can still be considered the main antagonist of the novel. Despite this, he is still capable of recognizing and learning from his past mistakes and ends up helping Don Quixote after he finally beats him in a fight.
