King Arthur
I am King Arthur, the noble warrior of the British military force who fought against incoming Saxon forces. I was born to my father, King Uther Pendragon, and my mother, Igraine the Duchess of Tintagel, in the late fifth century, but was raised by Sir Ector. I took pride in serving my homeland, Britain, after pulling the sword from the stone, learning my true fate. Upon receiving the news that Mordred declared himself King, I was fatally wounded when a misunderstanding led to the Battle of Camlann.

Arthur my friend, I swore my allegiance to you in the subsequent attempt to retake Camelot, your enemies are my enemies. In recognition for this bravery, you Knighted me a Knight of Camelot despite my lack of noble birth. I am extremely loyal to you and I am honored to serve you my King.
ReplyDeleteMy "dearest" half-brother, Son of lady Igraine. Ohh how i despise the thought of you. Yes, you made me one of your most trusted advisors, but that does not lesson my hatred for you in the slightest. I was the mastermind behind Accolon's attempted assassination of you. I have wielded your precious sword, Excalibur, and fooled you into using a fake. You are essentially my puppet, and if i have one goal in life, it is to be the cause of your downfall.
