| 8 | [[quoteright:350:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/king_arthur_knights_tale_mordred.png]] |
| 9 | -->'''Class:''' Defender |
| 10 | -->'''Alignment:''' Any |
| 11 | |
| 12 | The protagonist of this Tale. Mordred served on Arthur's round table until he turned against him, leading Arthur's enemies against the forces of Camelot. In the end Arthur and Mordred killed one another in a final duel. Now Mordred has been brought back by the Lady of the Lake, to finish off Arthur once and for all. |
| 13 | ---- |
| 14 | * TheAtoner: Mordred with a rightful alignment can be this. |
| 15 | * AntagonisticOffspring: Mordred and his mother Morgawse have historically not gotten along. [[spoiler:They may either reconcile or Mordred will have to slay her.]] |
| 16 | * BadassBoast: He's prone to his. |
| 17 | -->'''Knight of Midnight:''' I... AM CAMELOT... I AM THE ROUND TABLE!!!\ |
| 18 | '''Mordred:''' Well then. I have some experience in destroying both. |
| 19 | * BlackKnight: He's dressed in black and red armor and fits the motif. |
| 20 | * TheDreaded: There are a few encounters (Like Brunor or Lanval's recruitment missions) where enemies will try to flee rather than face Mordred in battle, with the player choosing to let them go or not. |
| 21 | * FoeTossingCharge: Mordred's Shield Charge move is this, a charge that knocks backs and knocks down a target enemy. |
| 22 | * MagicKnight: Mordred, as the son of the Witch Morgawse, wields a few hexes, and a particularly devastating lightning bolt spell. |
| 23 | * MurderIsTheBestSolution: By his own word, Mordred is a poor diplomat, and he has a penchant for violence. Even when Rightful, his first instinct when dealing with opposition is to put them down. |
| 24 | * OverratedAndUnderleveled: He's a well rounded defender, but in the base game that's all he has going for him. As the Protagonist he does not gain bonuses from Loyalty, which later in the game made him fall behind recruitable defenders who did. The 2.0 patch buffs him giving him above average late game abilities [[spoiler:once he gains Excalibur]] to make up for his lack of a loyalty bonus. |
| 25 | * RedAndBlackAndEvilAllOver: Mordred's armor is black and red and covered in spikes, and he was very much villainous back in Britannia. It's up to the player if Mordred continues to be an example or subverts it. |
| 26 | * RedBaron: He's known by the title of "Dread Knight". |
| 27 | * ReformedButNotTamed: Even when played as Rightful, Mordred retains his [[DeadpanSnarker barbed tongue]] and [[BloodKnight love for violence]]. |
| 28 | * ShockAndAwe: Mordred as a single target lightning spell available at Tier 2, and a chain lightning spell at tier 3, which he's seen using in the intro. The 2.0 patch replaces Cleave with Lightning Cleave as well. He shares this affinity for lightning-magic with [[InTheBlood with his mother]]. |
| 29 | * SpikesOfVillainy: Mordred, whose armor is covered in spikes. |
| 30 | * StoneWall: He's specced as a Defender class tank. |
| 31 | * SwordOfPlotAdvancement: [[spoiler:Eventually he gains Excalibur to slay the Fisher King. It has no gameplay effect other than replacing the model of the sword he wield with a shinier one. The 2.0 patch grants Mordred the "Keeper of the Excalibur" trait when he gains Excalibur. This trait effectively grants Mordred the same bonus other knights gain from max loyalty (20% more damage and an additional AP).]] |
| 32 | * TheUnfettered: Mordred is ''really'' into killing Arthur. It's his entire priority and life's purpose and he's got no issue threatening or staring Sorceresses, Shamans, Sidhe Lords, or even the Physical God who raised him from the dead to accomplish that goal. |
| 33 | * VillainProtagonist: Mordred with a Tyrant alignment will be the lesser evil that the forces of good will be forced to work with. |

| 40 | -->'''Alignment:''' Neutral |
| 41 | Sir Kay was raised alongside Arthur by Sir Ector, Arthur's adoptive father and Kay's biological father, and was the first knight to join Arthur in his conquest of Britannia. He became the Seneschal of Camelot. He is the first knight to join Mordred. |
| 42 | ---- |
| 43 | * CrutchCharacter: He has the "ambitious" trait, which makes court titles boost his loyalty even further, giving him a significant power-up early on. However, almost all alignments have Champions corresponding to at least one axis [[note]]Balan is Rightful and Old Faith, Lancelot is Rightful, Brunor and the Black Knight are Tyrants and the White Knight is Christian[[/note]], so without special investment, he will be overtaken in the long run. The other neutral Champion, Lanval, instead gets bonus-exp from training, making him a better back-up character. |
| 44 | * EasilyForgiven: [[spoiler:He helps organize a rebellion against Mordred but changes his mind and warns Mordred. A rightful Mordred can forgive him, realizing Kay had good reasons to distrust Mordred.]] |
| 45 | * MightyGlacier: As a Champion, Kay is slow, heavily armored, and hits like a truck. |

| 53 | Lady Dindraine is Sir Percival's sister. In Britannia she was like any noble lady, living in a castle, worrying about her brother as he quested for the Grail alongside Sir Galahad. In Avalon, Lady Dindraine found herself gifted with powerful martial talent. Now she too quests for the Grail, and her lost brother. |
| 54 | ---- |
| 55 | * HundredPercentHeroismRating: Mordred notes in an event she's universally loved in Camelot. She's got the "Beloved" trait, making her hostel stays cost 50% as much. |
| 56 | * ActionGirl: Upon awakening in Avalon, she found herself possessing greater skill in battle than she had in life. |
| 57 | * BrotherSisterTeam: It's absolutely possible to have her and her brother on a team. She will invoke this herself if present when meeting Percival for the first time. |
| 58 | * ChurchMilitant: Dindraine is extremely religious, questing for the Grail and Christianity in particular. |
| 59 | * GuysSmashGirlsShoot: The first female character to join is an archer, and she joins a party of [[StoneWall Mordred]], [[MightyGlacier Kay and Balan]]. |
| 60 | * InTheNameOfTheMoon: "Christ on a cross!", which she often shouts while attacking. |

He's a devout Christian but despite his Christianity wield ancient magics in the lord's name. Ector did not take the fall of Camelot well, it awoke a darkness in him, and now he's ready to do whatever is needed so the Camelot in Avalon survives, no matter the cost. |
| 70 | ---- |
| 71 | * DespairEventHorizon: The death of Arthur and the fall of Camelot have broken Sir Ector, driving him to do [[HumanSacrifice very questionable things]], as he believes now that protecting Camelot justifies absolutely everything. |
| 72 | * GameplayAndStoryIntegration:. He joins the Round Table after he has raised undead in a village and when many heroes were reworked to be more unique, the developers gave him skills to do that in battle too. |
| 73 | * ItSeemedLikeAGoodIdeaAtTheTime: He performed a forbidden ritual, that required the sacrifice of an entire village, to raise dead knights from their tombs to protect Camelot. But it turns out that the undead knights refuse to obey him and [[AllForNothing must be destroyed]]. |
| 74 | * {{Necromancer}}: He's encountered trying to raise dead knights to save Camelot. One of his spells lets him summon a lost one. |
| 75 | * WellIntentionedExtremist: Sir Ector is now of a tyrannical alignment, as what happened to Avalon clearly broke him. Now, in his own words, he's willing to do anything to save Camelot, including killing innocent people, or raising the dead bodies of knights of the round table. |

| 98 | * CainAndAbel: Is the "Abel" in the rivalry he has with his brother, Sir Balin, being the more knightly of the two. |
| 99 | * LikeFatherLikeSon: He's a champion like his father. In life, his father was an honorable, dutiful knight like him. Both also fight with a greataxe. |
| 100 | * MightyGlacier: As a Champion, Balan is slow, heavily armored, and hits like a truck. |
| 101 | * NiceGuy: An overall pleasant, polite, and nice person who aids others as per the knight's vow. But he isn't above insulting those who are vile. |
| 102 | * YouKilledMyFather: Subverted. Balan hold no grudge against Mordred for putting down his father considering he even admitted that his father was no longer the same person after coming back to life. |

| 113 | * ChurchMilitant: Sir Balin is a believer in the vengeful image of the Christian god, and acts just as merciless. |
| 114 | * DualWielding: Balin is famously known as the ''Knight with the Two Swords'' and he lives up to that title in-game. |
| 115 | * JerkassHasAPoint: Balin pointed out he has more right to their ancestral castle considering he fought against the undead whilst his brother was out saving others instead of defending their ancestral home. |

| 141 | Arthur's former councilor and cup-bearer. He spent his time in Avalon as a questing knight, before eventually settling down with a tribeswoman he had fallen in love with. But happy ends are rare in this twisted Avalon... |
| 142 | ---- |
| 143 | * ConvertingForLove: Notably averted with his Pagan wife. Neither of them converted and let their children freely choose their religion. |
| 144 | * DeathSeeker: Having had to put down the monsters his wife and children became under the Fisher King's curse, and learning his son dabbled in human sacrifice, that his wife offered herself as sacrifice to said son, utterly breaks him. He joins the round table hoping to die, fully admitting he has nothing left to live for. |
| 145 | * DualWielding: Like all Vanguards. He dual wields a pair of swords. |
| 146 | * MalignedMixedMarriage: A religious example: He, a Christian knight, married a Pagan tribeswoman. A dialog-option notes that this would get them burned at the stake in some villages. |

| 160 | * FriendlySniper: Although somewhat of a tall-tale, he is still a NiceGuy wielding a crossbow. |

| 172 | * BedroomAdulteryScene: One of his voice lines references how he caught Gawain in flagranti with his lady. |
| 173 | * HumbleHero: He values helping the downtrodden above fame or glory. |
| 174 | * KnightInSourArmor: While he is of righteous alignment, his dialogue is rather cynical and his voice actor gives him a rather weary voice[[note]]This may be a reference on how he was DrivenToMadness after being cheated on by Gawain and finding out about Guinevere and Lancelot ''on the same day''[[/note]]. |
| 175 | * TheLastDJ: His profile calls him "the embodiment of the very idea that led to the birth of the Round Table in the first place", and he values his knightly duty way higher than fame or glory. |
| 176 | * OvershadowedByAwesome: As mentioned in his flavor text. |

| 197 | ---- |
| 198 | * TheCasanova: His bio notes he's made multiple vows of chastity... and broken every single one of them. |
| 199 | * CharacterExaggeration: In Arthurian Legend, he's actually pure enough to be a grail knight, only breaking his vow of chastity once (which wasn't exactly consensual on his part...). Here, his vow-breaking is PlayedForLaughs. |
| 200 | * NeverMyFault: He claims a Pict woman he slept with is a witch that tricked him to break his vows via charming him and is cursing him into further vow breaking via drinking and such. As opposed to him just... failing to resist temptation when Lancelot isn't around to encourage him. |

| 554 | The mythical Fisher King, guardian of the Grail, and of Excalibur following the death of Arthur. Now possessed by a shard of Arthur, he's now a wretched abomination, and his curse has spread on the land, turning much of Avalon into a wasteland. |
| 555 | ---- |
| 556 | * AdaptationalBadass: In the original myth the Fisher King is named such because he's so wounded he can't stand, and spends most of his days sitting in a small boat fishing. Here he's a giant wielding a gigantic sword. |
| 557 | * {{BFS}}: He's carrying a sword larger than Mordred. |
| 558 | * FisherKing: As befitting being the trope namer, his cursed state has spread to his domain. |
| 559 | * GrandTheftMe: [[spoiler:His body has been hijacked by a shard of Arthur, and now he's both Arthur and the Fisher King]]. |
| 560 | * GroinAttack: As per the myth, he's suffered a wound that castrated him. [[spoiler:In this case it's from Sir Percival who attacked him when he became corrupted to take Excalibur away from him, and try to reclaim the Grail. Percival could only save the sword, though it shattered in the attempt.]] |
| 561 | * HumanoidAbomination: He's a gigantic, gangly human, almost zombie-like, emaciated and covered in strange wounds and protusions. |
| 562 | * LargeAndInCharge: He's gigantic, and rules over a kingdom. |
| 563 | * OldFlame: He still is in love with Guinevere. Originally she plans to use this to lure him into a trap. It works, unfortunately [[spoiler:He's immortal]]. |
| 564 | * ResurrectiveImmortality: [[spoiler:Due to also having a portion of the Grail in him, he cannot be slain, except by Excalibur]]. |

| 566 | |
| 567 | [[folder:The Green Knight]] |
| 568 | The protector of the Sidhe. A RockMonster that resides in the heart of the Deepwood, guarded by both Seelie and Unseelie warlocks. A soul-fragment of Arthur has lodged itself in it, slowly corrupting the Sidhe. |
| 569 | ---- |
| 570 | * TheCorrupter: The hate and corruption taking seat in it is slowly spreading to the Sidhe. |
| 571 | * ElementalPowers: It summons storms and rocks during its fight. |
| 572 | * RockMonster: It sort of looks life a nature-based {{Golem}}. |
| 573 | * SequentialBoss: [[spoiler:Like the Fisher King before it. After being defeated for the first time, the Green Knight will straighten itself up and start attacking more harshly.]] |
| 574 | * YouCannotGraspTheTrueForm: The Warlock mentions that what the humans call the "Green Knight" is a representation of something far older, far more powerful. |

| 580 | !!Shiannan, the Nightveil |
| 581 | [[quoteright:236:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/ladyofwinter.jpg]] |
| 582 | A lady of the Unseelie Sidhe. She guards the moon light ritual each Unseelie Fae must do to join the Unseelie court. |
| 583 | ---- |
| 584 | * BatmanGambit: She realizes one of her servant, Icefang will betray her, and lead Mordred to her. She's happy to let it happen. If Mordred happens to massacre the Unblinded, her rivals, so much the better. |
| 585 | * ChronicBackstabbingDisorder: As is the way of the Unseelie, she's prone to backstabbing anyone who remotely inconveniences her. [[spoiler:If allowed to tag along to slay the Green Knight, she leads Mordred into an ambush]]. |
| 586 | * EnemyMine: [[spoiler:She's willing to just give Mordred the blessing, as the corrupted Green Knight is as much a threat to her as it is to Camelot]]. |
| 587 | * PragmaticVillainy: What sets her apart from most of her kind. She's cruel, villainous, but with a purpose [[spoiler:Becoming Queen of the Unseelie]]. |
| 588 | * VillainExitStageLeft: She's prone to running away when her troops get defeated. |
| 589 | [[/folder]] |
| 590 | |
| 591 | [[folder:Icefang]] |
| 592 | !!Icefang |
| 593 | An Autumnbred Champion who retains some of his humanity and decides to help Mordred against his cruel Sidhe masters |
| 594 | ---- |
| 595 | * GuestStarPartyMember: He joins the party for one mission. |
| 596 | * RewardedAsATraitorDeserves: [[spoiler:Nightveil murders him once the mission his complete, as his betrayal has served her purpose]]. |
| 597 | [[/folder]] |

| 599 | [[folder:Balor, King of the Fomorians (Unmarked Spoilers)]] |
| 600 | [[quoteright:350:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/balazs_pirok_balor_artstation.jpg]] |
| 601 | Ages ago, Balor and his horde attempted to conquer Avalon, but were thoroughly defeated and banished to another dimension. Everyone assumed that he would claw his way out of hell by brute force, but he deceived the world into delivering him. Over time and across dimensions, he slowly poisoned the soul of Avalon, 'assisted' Sir Mordred with 'killing' Arthur, and when the time came, used his unwitting puppet as an eldritch sacrifice to open a portal to his prison. |
| 602 | ---- |
| 603 | * TheCorruptor: He's part of the reason King Arthur became an irredeemable asshole. The poison Mordred acquired from Balor to kill King Arthur? That was actually a mutagen which turned Arthur into four insane monsters. |
| 604 | * LargeAndInCharge: As seen by his image, Balor towers over humans. |
| 605 | * TrueFinalBoss: The post-game is one long conquest to gain enough power to stand a chance against the Level ''28'' Balor. |
