Niche toy, need help finding

There was this knight toy I used to have back in the early 2000s. It came in a box that looked like a church window and the knight was on the cover of the box that was in the design of stained glass. The knight had removable armor as well and there was this secret compartment at the bottom of the box that had backgammon in it. If anyone knows what toy I'm talking about I would appreciate it.

That sounds kinda ballin' but also like the production run definition of "Throwing s**t at the wall to see what sticks".
Backgammon is in the family of "Tables Games" which are a fairly old branch of board games, and were known in medieval times, which creates a sort of tentative connection between knight figurines and miniature backgammon I suppose, but knight figurines tend to be the purview of boys (large and small) whereas Backgammon is a game mostly played by elderly men in smoky rooms; it's a proper odd product combination.

Similarly, no joy this end, I tried Yandex, which is often good for obscure searches that Google isn't serving.

I tried to Google it and can't find it. The closest is Marx sir knights toy line, but it wasn't from the 70s or 80s unlikes the Marx ones

If you recall where it was purchased maybe a catalogue or stock manifest could be found from the relevant period.
It'd be a long shot I feel, but might lead you right to what you're looking for, if such records are kept. If there's no joy that way, some toy collectors preserve old catalogues for use as field guides, and it might be worth checking out your local geek hangouts and tapping a real toy fiend.

Unfortunately I cannot recall since I was 4 and got it as a gift. It was either from once upon a child, or Sam's club.

Not a clue either, but for a second I thought it might be the famous fisher-price knights and castle set that like everyone had in the 90's lol

I may have had that castle set. I had some variety of castle set and it was weird, like the castle had an elevator.... 🤣

In the future, perhaps we shall date our generations by the Star Wars toys we recognize.
Early era; Mint as f**k Kenner action figures, Millennium Falcon with lights and sounds
Mid era; Republic Commandos and Super Battle Droids going at it every which way, and sick Lego kits
Late era; Landfill full of unsold Rose Tico's
