So Im running a 5E campaign and about to introduce a new group, The Sunfire Knights. An order of Paladins, Fighters and just about anyone who wants to take the fight to the undead and dark powers. I have most of the ranking done on the knights except for the 4 general type figures and their leader. I was thinking Archon but that sounds way to angelic to me. I just need a title/rank befiting the theme that is the Sunfire Knights.
The Knights believe that all arcane magic is inherently evil, with warlocks, necromancers and cultists being the worse. They go around cataloging mages in their lands and they regularly cremate their dead and exhume the dead in conquered lands, and cremate them to prevent necromantic tampering.

Candle's Thrush: A title for the newly initiated. One who has sworn their vows, and begun the training required to become a Sunfire Knight.
Morning's Robin: A title for knights who have completed their training, and are now fully initiated into the order. These are knights whom have yet to actually defend their vows -- they have the skills necessary to do so, but have not been sent to quell any threat.
Noon's Falcon: A senior knight, whom has always been sent on at least one deployment to obtain this rank. Often times, knights choose to retire/exit the order at this rank.
Sun's Eagle: Similar to staff ncos of American military, those who choose to obtain this rank are placed in high-leadership positions. Oftentimes, an Eagle controls a group of at least Robins, and many are assigned to train Thrushes into Robins.
I hope some of this jives with you OP. I thought using birds as symbols would be cool. The head knight or whatever could be called the Phoenix or something as well, I suppose.
Phoenix is a perfect fit.

This is pretty interesting.

In Ascending order of rank:

Lord-Militant and Zenith Exultant of the Most Noble Order of the Sunfire Knights.(Dual titles for the leader, as both military commander and ceremonial official)

Those sound appropriately badass! Especially Zenith Exultant!

Glad to hear you're intrigued by the concept, It's something I've been throwing around for a while. While not the most original, I wanted to put a new spin on it.
How about General of the Ascendant Dawn?

Glad I could be of assistance, OP. The titles are based on the stylings of British orders.

I'll have to look into those further for future references. I didn't even think to look there, it's fitting for The empire on which the sun doesn't set.
Blazing Purifier
Radiant lord
Knight of Supreme Incandescents
