Looking for Feedback on a Hive Unit Idea

Inspiration: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=c-bCGOthQ5k So, with the first chapter of my fan-story (Which maybe by some random chance somebody here might've seen me mention months ago) almost done, I wanted to get feedback on a semi-new Hive unit I'm adding in. Name: Cavalier (As it's like a Knight Subtype, so I went with a synonym of the word Knight to keep things somewhat in-theme with the Hive) Appearance: A Knight, but 1/3rd taller and proportionately bigger than a normal Knight, with a mouthguard colored to match the rest of its armor (IE black for Blood of Oryx, red for the Hidden Swarm, and gold for the Spawn of Crota) and a helmet that, instead of having a horn protruding forward like a Knight, instead has a crescent moon-like curve going over the top of the helmet, rimmed with a line of short spikes down its center. The rest of the armor would be a Knight's standard gear, aside from a Titan Mark-like attachment of cloth at its belt line. Shaped similarly to the likes of the Mark of the Bulwarks, it would be tinted in the same color as its armor and inlaid with Hive glyphs and runes, almost like a Titan Mark-ified Silken Codex. The purpose of this would not be too far off from why Titans wear their marks: These Silken Codex Marks would be catalogs of the history of whichever sub-section of the Hive that particular Cavalier is in, as well as Hive Mantras and Sayings (They [i]are[/i] religiously-focused in a way, so it could have personal or morale-related significance). Weapon: Naginata-Like Weapon The reason I say Naginata- [i]like[/i] is because, while it bears the same shape as a Naginata, it is fashioned in a unique way. Specifically, it is crafted from segments and pieces of the bones of the Hive's enemies, ranging from Human and Awoken bones to make up the staff to Fallen spinal cords sharpened and reinforced to make the sharp curve of the blade, even possessing a pair of Cabal skulls melded together at the base of the blade. In addition to that, it's all held together by a mix of the Wizards' power and pure, concentrated Darkness energy, the latter giving its blade a particularly potent edge. So, is this good? I've already pitched it to a friend and they loved it, but I just wanted to ask here to make sure his love of the concept wasn't just some one-off luck. Also, if anyone's interested as to where the idea came from (As well as how the unit would move, fight, etc.) I've left a link to the video that inspired it at the top.
