Sir Austin was once a knight from King Arthur's Court, and is now living in the 20th century. He took on the name 'Shining Knight' to protect the innocent, and was recruited into the new Justice League. Shining Knight dons a magical armor that protects him from strong impacts, wields a magic sword that cuts through virtually everything, and rides a winged steed called Winged Victory. All of which was given by Merlin the magician.

Shining Knight is a warrior of great value, integrity, and compassion, who is dedicated to fight for the weak and the helpless. He accounted how once King Arthur ordered him to slaughter an entire village, which he spared, out of kindness. Arthur thanked him and Shining Knight takes great pride in that; otherwise, had he been wrong, he assured he'd had left the court in shame.

While serving the Justice League, Shining Knight became friends with Vigilante, and they were often paired together. Sir Justin participated in several League's missions, among which the battle against Mordru, the Alien nanotech invasion, the army of Ultimen abroad the Watchtower, and Darkseid's invasion. Shining Knight also intercepted Task Force X when they were trying to steal the Annihilator, and despite having fought them bravely, he was outnumbered and was defeated by Rick Flagg.

Shining Knight is a relentless and resilient combatant. He puts others before himself, and wouldn't hesitate in giving his life to protect those who can't protect themselves. When the mutated General Eiling took on seven powerless Leaguers, Shining Knight engaged him despite being clearly overpowered. However, he kept lunging at him until he could no longer stand up. As a result, the observing public protected the fallen knight and demanded that Eiling back off which he did.
