Sir Bedivere #4

Good evening to all,

Thus far you all have known me to be the most handsome, one-handed knight who returned Excalibur to the Lady of the Lake, but I am much more than that. My true character lies in my morals that I have had since I was one of the earliest of King Arthur's followers: loyalty and courage. I know some believe that because I lied to King Arthur twice before I could bring myself to return Excalibur to the lake that I was not loyal. The truth is, I could not stand the thought of others doubting whether or not King Arthur was a lawful king. The only tangible artifact that could prove such a noble, accomplished king was his the sword, Excalibur. I have been more loyal to our King Arthur more than any knight or peasant to ever live. I fought along side him in his last battle. He and I were the only ones to survive the tremendous war until I the King took his last breath with me by his side. Many may question my loyalty over time, but I still remained trustworthy to my king even after his death when I lived the rest of my life out as a Hermit. After his death, I was also known as the Merlin. I held the responsibility to the people to keep alive their cultural heritage by continuing to tell the story of King Arthur. Throughout Arthur's kingship I continued to maintain my morals, despite what some tales may tell. Loyalty is such a key factor in my beliefs that I even tried to kill my wife. I spoke of this before when I believed that she committed adultery and I tried to kill her. Nevertheless, I will forever have full trust in the greatest king to rule.
