That's a Heide Knight and he drops the Heide Sword which is a pretty good weapon so early in the game. It does physical and lightning damage. He has a rather unpredictable fighting style and does considerable amount of damage so you should clear out the other enemies and maybe stock up some firebombs etc. before attacking him.
