Sir Percival

Salutations, my friends! My name is Sir Percival. I am a legendary Knight of the Round Table, as well as the original Grail Knight. My father, along with my two older brothers, were slain in knightly combat when I was but a wee young lad. As a result, I was brought up in ignorance and never knew of what my parents or siblings were to be called by, even though I knew they had existed. I was believed to be born around 1200 AD, but the exact date varies with each chronicle told. I was raised alone by my (nameless) mother, who spoke little of my father in an attempt to protect me. I grew up in a rather odd environment that I do not know much about, but I do know it was beneath the Welsh mountain Valbone. Beneath this mountain is where I was to learn and grow. I was a mere fifteen-year-old adolescent when I was knighted and my adventures began. There are several other accounts of my story, some naming my parents and others telling a tale of other siblings and family members. For this passage I will only tell the first legend of myself, that being of the original Grail Knight.
