9!!''A Knight's Quest'' contains examples of:
10* AnimalMotifs: Gambert is linked with wolves and is known as the Wolf Knight due to the fact that a pack of winter wolves follow him as their alpha. He can even howl like a wolf. A true mournful howl came from his lips when [[spoiler:it looked like the skaven were going to win in an attack on his fief.]]
11* AuthorityEqualsAsskicking: Most knights only maintain their position by being able to defend their lands and people from threats, and proving yourself in battle is the most common way for Knight Errants to advance to becoming Knights of the Realm. Usually, the higher the rank the knight is the more skilled and deadly in battle he is.
12* BadassNickname: Gambert has acquired several nicknames over the quest. The fey and wood elves know him as Feyheart and Wolfheart, due to his connection to the Fey and how a wolf pack will follow him as their alpha. The High Elves named him Bladeheart for the [[spoiler:scar he gained when their princess purged him of the chaos corruption that he took into himself from her while rescuing her.]]
13* BigDamnHero: Gambert has done this several times. Once [[spoiler:when he saved an Enchantress from a beastlord by challenging it]] and another when [[spoiler: he saved the crown Prince of Bretonnia from being captured by Dark Elves]].
14* BlueBlood: The ruling class of Bretonnia are the nobility, who rule over the much larger population of impoverished commoners and peasants.
15* CodeOfHonour: Gambert follows the Laws of Chivalry that govern the nobility of Bretonnia.
16* CoolSword: Gambert's sword, Winterhowl.

18* DivineParentage: [[spoiler:Ulgyr]] is a son of Ulric, the God of Winter and Battle.
19* GodIsGood: The Lady of the Lake has responded to Gambert's prayers and offered him protection times beyond counting, gifting him magical powers, enchanting his weapon of choice and protecting him from harm. Other example includes Sigmar, who blesses every citizen of the Empire and continues to fight the Ruinous Powers.
20* HeroicLineage: Gambert is descended from a family well known for the great number of Grail Knights it has produced.
21* HuntingTheMostDangerousGame: Orion's hobby as the avatar of the Elven God of Hunting. [[spoiler: This leads him to kills Ulgyr and cause his death much later on.]]
22* KnightInShiningArmor: Gambert is one of the most compassionate knights when it comes to how he treats his peasants and how he treats people in general. It lead to him [[spoiler:saving the High Elf Ever-Princess after a Keeper Secrets tossed him into the realm of chaos.]]
23* OurGhostsAreDifferent: Ulgyr's only reason for staying in the world is to kill Orion, [[spoiler: and quickly begins to fade before Gambert puts his soul in his sword.]]
24%%* OurGodsAreDifferent: The Old World Human Pantheon, the Elven Gods, and the Chaos Gods.
25* ThePaladin: Gambert is one of the foremost champions of the Lady of the Lake.
26* PhysicalGod: Orion and Ariel as the avatars of the Elven Gods, Kurnous and Isha. The Everqueen of the High Elves may also count, being descendant from Isha.
27* ScarsAreForever: When the Lady honed Gambert into a stronger warrior to make him a better knight, he lost most of them on top of picking up a blessing that will let him even regenerate limbs that prevents him from scarring unless it is caused by a powerful magic weapon. However he kept the scars on his chest and the ones caused by the sword Nemesis.
28* SoulJar: Gamberts sword serves as one [[spoiler: for both Karzaron and Ulgyr and may possibly serve as one for any future entities Gambert chooses to bind.]]
29* SuperStrength: Gambert is as strong as a troll because of the blessings of the Lady of the Lake. As a result, any weapon or shield that isn't enchanted or made by dwarfs breaks when he uses them.
30* TalkingInYourDreams: The Lady has contacted Gambert several times in his sleep to give him warning that dark times are coming or to request that he perform a task for her.
31* TheTourney: Bretonnian knights regularly throw tourneys so their skills stay sharp, in periods of war they are more uncommon but during peace time they are frequently held.
32* TragicHero: Gambert has had a lot of bad things happen to him. From his [[spoiler:uncle dying after a skaven attack when he insisted on fighting the Green Knight, to his father dying while he was trapped in the warp from grief. He also lost a good and loyal friend, Ryndolf Varholme, very suddenly to the Blood Pox while in Stirland.]]
