Galahad

"Lady Eira, you, too have also heard what the Bible speaks of. The Bible is the guidance of God. And we have to try no matter what."

- Sir Galahad to Eira Prowell

Sir Galahad is the son of Sir Lancelot of the Knights of the Round and Princess Elaine of Corbenic, and the grandson of King Ban and Queen Elaine of Benoic, and King Pelles of Corbenic. His maternal grandfather, King Pelles, much known as the Fisher King, had known the prophecy that his mother will have a son with Sir Lancelot, and such child will be considered as "The Noblest Knight in the World".

He arrives at Camelot to one day be a member of the Knights of Camelot, and due to his strength and commitment, at the age of few months shy of his eleventh birthday, he became the youngest member of the Knights of the Round and his name appeared at the Siege Perilous, deeming him as "The Perfect Knight".

He is part of the mission in search of the Holy Grail, leading him back to Corbenic and later to Crisiant Grafu where he sacrificed himself for the Grail to be found, and be resurrected by its power.

Background
King Pelles of Corbenic, the Fisher King, had received the prophecy that Sir Lancelot of the Knights of the Round will impregnate his daughter, Princess Elaine of Corbenic, and that this little boy will grow to become the greatest knight in the world; to which Merlin had mentioned will even surpass his father in valor, and the knight chosen by God to discover the Holy Grail. His grandfather had pushed onward his father, Lancelot, for a quest to save Elaine in the Obsidian Tower. It is pointed out that Elaine had fallen in love with him at first sight.

With the help of Dame Brusen, Elaine managed to fool Lancelot and slept with him. Upon knowing the deception, Lancelot forgave what happened; however, he does not marry Elaine or even wish to be with her anymore and returned to Camelot with Arthur, Merlin and Eira. The incident seemed to haunt Lancelot for him to acknowledge himself as "The Ill-fated Warrior" just as his prophecy had speak of him.

The young Galahad is born and placed in the care of a great aunt, who is an abbess at a nunnery, to be raised there, until he was old enough to be acknowledged by his father.

Life in Camelot
Galahad, accompanied by his mother, arrived in King Arthur's Court for the banquet of Anna Pendragon's return to Camelot when he was just six years old. Even in such a young age, he has a great ambition to be a member of the Knights of Camelot, hearing stories about their great feats. He remained oblivious of his father's identity until he met him upon his arrival. He immediately grow attached with the life as a Knight of the Round, though rumors had grown around him that he was too pure and innocent to be real. He became close to Eira Prowell in the process, who've told him that he'll one day be as great as any knight there is in the Round Table.

Physical description
Galahad had taken in the same features as that of his father with the slightly curly brown hair and almond-shaped eyes. His eye color, however, weren't shared with his father nor mother, for his eyes are gray in color; they changed to his father's brown-colored eyes after being resurrected by the Holy Grail. He is defined to still be a child in every way, but he is observant and matured for his age. He is a little lean with small muscles starting to form on his built.

Personality
Prophesied to be the noblest knight in the world, Galahad has an innocent and soft heart. He acted accordingly based on the Code of Chivalry despite his young age, and has a tender conscience. He hated the bloodshed but will resolute to such if necessary to protect his beliefs and his loyalties. Even for such a young age, he has a great and immense sense of justice, duty and acceptance with the holy order within him.

Skills & abilities
Galahad is known to be an ambidextrous, using two swords in battle, just like his father does for a short period of time. Even before being a knight himself, Galahad had shown a tremendous brilliant mind and he never had a clouded judgment, all thanks to the prophecy of him to be the one to find the Holy Grail. He had been upgraded at a young age as a knight when he was just eleven years old, the youngest ever known. He slowly earns a name of his own, becoming an exceptional knight as well trained with the basic skills of one. Since he is a kid, he had trained himself to a much closer combat that he uses his short height and agility as his advantage. He is exceptionally skilled as well with knife-throwing, all due to his training with the use of daggers, too.
