A prisoner of the Knight’s.

The organization is called The Paladonic Knights. Someone is a prisoner of theirs. Do you put the apostrophe to show possession? A prisoner of the Knight’s. Thank you.

AnonymousSomeone is a prisoner of theirs.
"(of) theirs", you say. That's plural and possessive.

The analog is therefore (of) the Knights'. Plural and possessive.
