^{Click here to see Arthur as he appears in Four Knights of the Apocalypse.}

The newly crowned king of Camelot, a neighboring kingdom to Liones. Like his namesake, he pulled a sword out of a stone and became Camelot's king. His first appearance in the series comes as a surprise to everyone, as he appears with no warning, intense magical power, and a massive army. He quickly allies with the Seven Deadly Sins to rescue his fellow monarch Bartra Liones. Arthur is also the pupil of Merlin, the Seven Deadly Sins' master of magic. Arthur's own magic power is currently unknown because it has not awakened, but Word of God has confirmed that his latent magic power exceeds all but a handful of the most powerful demons and goddesses in the series. If only he knew how to use it.

11th-Hour Superpower: He admits to Meliodas that he fought Hendrickson to try and achieve this, but his particular ability has yet to awaken even after being put in a life-threatening situation.
All Your Base Are Belong to Us: After the Ten Commandments are revived, Zeldris quickly conquers Camelot, brainwashes its citizens with his Commandment of Piety, and begins to sacrifice Arthur's people to weaken the Goddess Seal imprisoning the rest of the Demon Clan. Arthur leads an underground resistance against the demons for awhile, and eventually attempts a daring solo raid to take back Camelot from the Demon Clan. Unfortunately, this does not end well for him.
And Now You Must Marry Me: He sends Ironside to find a wife for him, and settles on the kidnapped 12-year-old Guinevere as his future bride. However, Arthur has no intention of actually marrying Guinevere since he only wants to use her oracle magic to his advantage.
An Arm and a Leg: His right arm gets bitten off and devoured by Cath.
Badass in Distress: His raid on the demons who had conquered Camelot leaves him in a coma.
Badass Normal:
- First foreshadowed by his extremely powerful presence felt by several characters as one of the two vastly superior powers alongside a cloaked figure amidst Arthur's supposed huge army, Arthur proves himself to be a badass when he fights off evenly against the Great Holy Knight Hendrickson especially since this particular battle was Arthur's first real fight against an opponent. He only staggered a bit later on only on account of Hendrickson deciding to use forbidden abilities, and that Arthur lacked sufficient experience. However what really takes the cake is that it's then revealed that while Arthur has incredible latent power within him as sensed by others, he had yet to figure out what exactly his power is or how to even use it. So in other words, he was pretty much fought against Hendrickson with just his own normal physical skills without the aid of any sort of magic.
- After Meliodas is killed by Estarossa, Arthur proves to be one of the most capable fighters defending against the Demon Clan in Meliodas' absence despite still incapable of any apparent magic skills.
Bad Boss: In the sequel series, Arthur doesn't seem to care that much about his men. When he finds out that two of his knights died in Wallnack, Arthur's response is to laugh and act like it wasn't that big of a loss. His reaction to Mortlach, who was likely one of his best soldiers, being executed in cold blood is to laugh and give him praise for a glorious end. He does half-heartedly extend condolences to Ironside, however.
Berserk Button: Guinevere calls him a pitiful man who keeps pining after Merlin even though the latter doesn't seem to return his affections and she mocks him for going as far as to force a fairy to look like Merlin to lessen the weight of her absence. Arthur gets so mad that he kills said fairy.
Big Bad: For unknown reasons, Arthur has become the biggest villain in the sequel. He aims to create a world ruled by humanity and for the sake of that, he wants to destroy Liones, his former allies, and kill the Four Knights of Apocalypse that are prophesied to destroy him. And he wants a bride, much to his underlings bewilderment.
Black Eyes of Crazy: In the sequel, Arthur's sclerae turn black when he's using the Chaos magic for evil purposes. It comes with Hellish Pupils too.
Blade Spam: One of Arthur's sword techniques granted by Excalibur is called Deathpecker. This technique which originally belonged to the war king Tartenos, one of the holy sword's previous wielders whose essence was infused into it, involves striking at an opponent with multiple rapid fencing thrusts.
Blind Weaponmaster: Not Arthur himself but one of the previous wielders of Excalibur. In the past, the holy sword was once wielded by a blind swordsman who was capable of countering any and all manner of surprise attack. Like the rest of Excalibur's previous wielders whose essences were infused into it, that swordsman's skill was infused as well. As such, Excalibur grants Arthur the capability of countering surprise attacks even those directly behind his back and line of sight when wielding the sword.
Break the Cutie: After Meliodas loses his emotions temporarily, Arthur is betrayed by Meliodas, sees him and Zeldris take over Camelot, gets killed in his battle against the demons, and he's resurrected only to learn from Cath that Camelot has been destroyed during the Sins' battle against the Demon King. In the sequel, we see that the whole ordeal shattered Arthur's idealism and led him declare war against Liones.
Broken Pedestal: Several of Arthur's followers left his side after he became corrupted by Chaos and set out to wipe out the nonhuman races. Nanashi still tries to be loyal to him, but even he has become disillusioned with the kind of king Arthur has become.
Cain and Abel: The Abel to his adoptive brother Kay's Cain. Arthur appears to like Kay well enough and doesn't view him as a bad guy. Kay, on the other hand, seems to dislike Arthur and did not care if he died during their childhood.
Came Back Strong: Using the magic of the Lady of the Lake, Merlin brings Arthur back to life as the King of Chaos, granting him the power of a Reality Warper.
Catch-22 Dilemma: Arthur is in a coma after being demonically mind controlled into stabbing himself with his own magical sword. For Elizabeth to heal him back to consciousness, Excalibur must be removed from his body. But because Only the Chosen May Wield Excalibur, he is the only one who can remove it. See Impaled with Extreme Prejudice.
Chaos Is Evil: Undergoes a Face–Heel Turn after gaining the power of chaos.
Chekhov's News: He was mentioned as early as Chapter 3 of the manga as very easy to miss gossip among the drinking patrons of the Boar Hat. 59 chapters later, he comes to Liones in full force.
A Child Shall Lead Them: Like his namesake, he became king at a very young age after he pulled the sword out of the stone. During the current storyline he's only sixteen.
The Chosen One: As predicted by Bartra, Arthur was chosen as king of Camelot by the sword in the stone. Moreover, he's chosen as the vessel of Chaos.
Comically Missing the Point:
- When he met King Baltra Liones in his youth, Arthur was told that instead of becoming a Holy Knight as he had always dreamed to become, he would become something much greater, a king. From this momentous prediction, all that Arthur took from it was that he was never going to be a Holy Knight.
- When Cath, the weird cat creature that Arthur acquired, starts talking, Arthur only notes how Cath addresses himself and not the fact that Cath is suddenly able to talk.
Cool Helmet: He wears a vaguely demonic-looking helmet.
Cool Sword: He possesses two swords, each with a different intricately designed hilts. One that he pulled out of the stone, and one with crosses that act as the ends of its cross guard and its pommel.
- The sword he pulled out from the stone is none other than Excalibur itself. It is an immensely powerful sword that the Lady of the Lake gave to humanity and was imbued with souls and essence of countless human heroes before Arthur, allowing him to access their skills and powers while he has it in hand. This makes him tremendously powerful, taking on Chandler, Meliodas, Cusack, and Zeldris all at once. He also effortlessly tanked Chandler's Extermination Ray before slicing the demon's head off. He also cut Cusack's arm with equal ease to free Cath, slicing Cusack to pieces soon afterward. After Arthur becomes the Chaos King, Excalibur evolves into a stronger form.
- An extra page in Volume 11 reveals that his second sword is named Sequence which is named after a sword from Arthurian Legend. The extra page also notes that even if the sword breaks, it will revert back to normal.
Didn't See That Coming: The Holy Knights and the Sins were so busy with their own affairs that they didn't see Arthur and his entire army coming. Arthur himself has this problem, which gets him into big trouble with Hendrickson when he starts using demonic magic.
Dub Name Change: In the Mexican Spanish dub, his name is rendered as "Arturo Pendragon", the Spanish rendering of his name and also how his mythical namesake is normally rendered in that language.
Enigmatic Empowering Entity: Distributed Staves of Chaos to his followers and Deathpierce.
Evil Redhead: He's a redhead and becomes the main villain in the sequel.
Evil Uncle: He is the main villain of the sequel, while one of the main knight heroes, Gawain, is his niece.
Excalibur in the Stone: The sword in the stone which he pulled out is none other than the legendary divine sword Excalibur.
Fake Relationship: He refers to Guinevere as his "bride", but that's just for appearances. He's actually just planning to use her as his exclusive oracle to conquer Britannia.
Fantastic Racist: In Four Knights of the Apocalypse, for reasons yet to be revealed, Arthur is trying to rid Britannia of its non-human denizens.
Faux Affably Evil: As the King of Chaos, Arthur still acts easygoing and affable to allies and enemies alike. However, he has become a ruthless killer towards all nonhuman races.
Fiery Redhead: He has orange hair that goes with a personality that can sometimes be a bit cocky.
Fights Like a Normal: Arthur was forced to fight against Hendrickson without the aid of his own power due to him not yet knowing what type of power exactly he has. He proves to be a match for the Great Holy Knight in regular combat.
The Gift: Arthur was very talented even as a kid.
Greater-Scope Villain: Of Grudge of Edinburgh, giving Deathpierce a Staff of Chaos.
Happily Adopted: He was adopted by a Holy Knight.
He Knows Too Much: This is what prompts Hendrickson to try to kill him during the Holy Knights saga, suspecting that Arthur is aware of his activities.
Hero of Another Story: Arthur appears in the story with some impressive achievements under his belt, although he bites off more than he can chew by immediately directly challenging the-then Big Bad. After the Ten Commandments kill Meliodas and conquer Camelot he survives the demon occupation by switching to fighting with guerrilla tactics as Rebel Leader of La Résistance.
Heroic RRoD: Suffers this when wielding Excalibur for the first time. An unharmed Cusack explains that this is because Arthur is not yet at the same level as the heroes whose souls reside within the sword. While he was able to use their abilities, he also pushed his body far beyond its limits.
Hope Bringer: Merlin calls Arthur her only hope.
How Do I Shot Web?: Based on what others sensed from him, Arthur has incredible latent power. The only problem is that he doesn't even know what type of power he has. Still without even knowing what type of power he has, Arthur was able to hold his own against a Great Holy Knight.
Hypocrite: His end game goal is to eradicate all non-human races, yet has no problem with brainwashing demons to his army as the Apostle of Chaos.
Idiot Hair: Arthur has a long part of his hair which sticks out prominently in a rather distinctive shape.
Idiot Hero: Idiot can best describe certain aspects of Arthur such as him not knowing what type of power he has despite it being incredibly strong. Regardless he proves to be incredibly heroic and proficient in regular combat.
Hauser: Is this guy... an idiot?
Guila: Either that, or he really is something...
Impaled with Extreme Prejudice: Cusack uses his People Puppets magic "Resonance" to force Arthur to impale himself with Excalibur. This is especially bad since he is the only one who can even lift Excalibur, meaning no one can pull it out (and Elizabeth can't heal him if the sword is still stuck inside him).
Implausible Fencing Powers: Arthur was already a Master Swordsman on his own however his swordsmanship gets increased when wielding Excalibur. Having been infused over the ages with the essences of all the countless heroes and kings who once wielded the holy sword, Excalibur grants Arthur access to all the various sword skills that these master swordsmen and swordswomen had. Among the repertoire of sword techniques granted by the holy sword include ones that can slice demon bodies into pieces, one that can fire off airborne slashes that are capable of destroying stone walls, and one that rapidly strikes an opponent with multiple sword fencing thrusts. There's even a technique called Dance of Avidya, in which Arthur can effortlessly counter surprise attacks directly behind his back and line of sight with Excalibur. Said skill was used by one of the sword's prior wielders, a blind swordsman capable of countering any and all manner of surprise attack.
Irony:
- Nanashi, the samurai that later joins Arthur's resistance against the Demon Clan after Meliodas is killed by Estarossa, states that Cath, the weird cat thing that Arthur carries around, is protecting the young king and would never leave his side. The irony kicks in once Cath is a revealed to be Cath Palug, a monstrous cat that wants to eat Arthur and ends up being devoured by the king's power.
- Arthur is the only known student of Merlin, the greatest mage of Britannia able to use practically any type of magic to its full effect, yet Arthur is perhaps the only person in the series who cannot figure out how to use his personal magic.
I Will Punish Your Friend for Your Failure: The sequel version of him keeps Guinevere from mouthing off by killing captives (because Guinevere herself is too useful to kill).
The Jailbait Wait: Guinevere is twenty years younger than him and she's brought to him as a future bride when she's just twelve. To scale down the creepiness a bit, Lancelot's prophetic dream shows Guinevere won't be forced into a wedding ceremony until she comes of age.
Jerkass Has a Point: While the way he goes about it is callous and violent, he's not wrong to want a powerful and separated kingdom of humans able to stand up to the other races. Humanity as a whole is, unfortunately, the lowest on the pecking order of humanoids, with giants, fairies, demons, and seraphim all leagues more powerful than them—not to mention that normal humans living in their realms or fighting will never be able to survive without buffs. As we later learn, even other races regularly play pranks by stealing and swapping their young. Creating a kingdom where the humans don't need to suffer from any of that, especially after the devastation of the first series, isn't unwarranted.
The Knights Who Say "Squee!": Towards Meliodas. Actually, towards any real display in front of him, be it Vivian's teleportation, Meliodas, Meliodas' magic, or Hendrickson's magic. Several times he stopped mid-fight to marvel at what was happening before him.
Legacy of the Chosen: Ch. 255 reveals that the holy sword Excalibur is the result of an ancient and unique Human Clan magic. It began as an ordinary sword without any magic whatsoever, given to a celebrated human hero sometime before the Holy War three thousand years ago. At the moment of the hero's death, he cleansed the sword with his own blood and soul for his successor. Rather than becoming rusty, Excalibur miraculously became stronger and sharper, and it was used by another great human hero in battle against demonkind. This process repeated with every wielder of Excalibur in this line of succession for millenia, with every hero infusing his or her essence into the sword to strengthen it and pass down their swordsmanship within it. At some point, the shared will of countless heroes and kings within the sword began choosing who would wield Excalibur itself based on a candidate's ability and leadership qualities. Arthur as the latest Chosen One can access the shared sum of sword techniques of all those who ever wielded Excalibur as if they were his own, almost three millenia of accumulated battle experience. However, all that power comes with a Necessary Drawback - Excalibur does not give its Chosen One the physical strength needed to use the abilities of the sword without harming oneself. Despite Arthur's exceptional physique built up over the course of the series, his raid on the highest ranked demons in Camelot goes horribly wrong due to having no defense to their demonic magic and his body breaking down from overuse of grandmaster sword techniques he had never even attempted before. See the Heroic RRoD and Impaled with Extreme Prejudice entries above.
Light Is Not Good: In the sequel, Arthur dresses in a white and golden outfit despite now being the Big Bad seeking to destroy nonhuman races and conquer Britannia.
Magically Inept Fighter: Due to not having yet discovered his own magical ability, he's introduced as a solely physical warrior among characters capable of a wide range of abilities.
Master Swordsman: Arthur on his own is incredibly proficient in swordfighting as noted by Hendrickson when the young king fought the Great Holy Knight. Arthur's skill with the sword is so good that it makes up for him not having awakened his latent magic powers. His swordsmanship is further increased when wielding Excalibur. Over the ages, the holy sword was infused with the essences of all the countless heroes and kings who had wielded it and all of them were master swordsmen and swordswomen on their own. As such, Excalibur grants Arthur access to all the sword techniques and skill that all of the holy sword's previous wielders had.
Nice Guy: Arthur is confoundingly nice even to people that are trying to do him serious harm, on more than one occasion. Just goes with being The Pollyanna.
No-Sell: Arthur seems to be immune to Zeldris' Commandment of Piety, lampshaded by Zeldris in Ch. 254 where he remarks that his Commandment is not reacting to Arthur's presence. The reason for Arthur's immunity to this curse is currently unknown.
Not-So-Well-Intentioned Extremist: In The Seven Deadly Sins, Arthur tells Cath his intent to use Chaos to recreate Camelot as an eternal kingdom. By Four Knights of the Apocalypse, the extent of Arthur's vision had him stealing areas of Britannia as material for his kingdom, ordered his forces to kill any child who may be one of the Four Knights, and seeking to remove non-humans from Britannia.
Only the Chosen May Wield: The divine sword Excalibur which made Arthur the king of Camelot can only be pulled out and wielded by him. Even when embedded in a different piece of stone than the boulder it was originally stuck in, only Arthur can pull it out. It also means that no one can pull the sword out of him after Cusack brainwashes Arthur into stabbing himself with it.
Orcus on His Throne: In the sequel, despite now being an all-powerful Reality Warper, Arthur rarely leaves his castle at his Pocket Dimension, which is the new Camelot, and mostly leaves the job of trying to wipe out the Four Knights of the Apocalypse to his Holy Knights. He does have a brief confrontation with Meliodas and then Lancelot in the Liones arc, but the latter doesn't even need to release his full strength to force Arthur into a retreat.
The Pollyanna: As shown in a special side chapter depicting Arthur meeting King Baltra Liones as a child, Arthur generally had an upbeat and rather hopeful attitude. Best demonstrated when he was saved from his adopted brother Kay's attempt to seriously injure Arthur by Baltra, all that Arthur did was calmly thank Baltra immediately rather than react to terror to the severity of the situation. Arthur even easily forgives Kay, citing that one day they may be the best of friends.
Power Incontinence: After reviving as the King of Chaos, Arthur has no conscious control over his Reality Warper powers, which blend reality according to Arthur's thoughts and emotions.
Power Level: The second Fanbook reveals that Arthur's is 40000 with his individual stats being Power: 37600, Strength: 900, and Spirit: 1500. Of note, it also reveals the power level of Cath the cat that clings on Arthur as well. The power level of which being 10010 with Cath's individual stats being Power: 5000, Strength: 10, and Spirit: 5000.
Public Domain Character: He's obviously based on and named after the great King Arthur from the Arthurian Legend.
Reality Warper: His power as the King of Chaos is to distort the fabric of reality to his will, although he has no proper control of it after his resurrection.
Reluctant Ruler: He never wanted to be a king and, as of the sequel, still doesn't. Before Excalibur chose him, his plan was to live the exciting, hands-on life of a knight.
Replacement Goldfish: In the sequel, Arthur captured a fairy and forced her to shapeshift into Merlin to make up for the latter's absence. When Guinevere exposes the lie, Arthur kills the fairy, angered at being reminded that she wasn't the real Merlin.
Royals Who Actually Do Something: As the King of Camelot, and one of the first things he does is take on Big Bad Hendrickson.
Slouch of Villainy: In the sequel where Arthur is the new Big Bad, his first appearances have him slouched in his throne.
Sudden Sequel Heel Syndrome: In the sequel series, Arthur has become an enemy not only to the Seven Deadly Sins, but to all the nonhuman races of Britannia because he's sending his knights to kill nonhumans and the Four Knights of the Apocalypse that are destined to destroy Camelot.
Supporting Leader: Although Arthur rules a kingdom on par with Liones, he usually follows Meliodas's lead.
Surprisingly Realistic Outcome: When asked whether Arthur can defeat Meliodas, Zeldoris, Cusack, and Chandler — four of the most powerful Demons alive — all by himself with Excalibur, Merlin admits that reality isn't so kind. Running in half-cocked without unlocking his own potential and wielding a weapon he barely understands against opponents who are still way out of his league ultimately gets Arthur impaled on his own sword.
Take Up My Sword: See Legacy of the Chosen entry above. When wielding Excalibur, Arthur has access to the sword techniques of renowned human heroes throughout history. Being chosen by the sword also means that Excalibur has acknowledged that Arthur also has the potential to be such a swordsman in his own right.
Teacher/Student Romance: Guinevere believes Arthur has unrequited romantic affections for Merlin, his Sexy Mentor.
Tranquil Fury: After seeing Cath being beaten to a bloody pulp by Zeldris and Cusack, the first thing Arthur does after retrieving Excalibur is to calmly declare his intent to slay Meliodas and all of the demons that invaded Camelot before effortlessly decapitating Chandler and slicing off Cusack's arm in order to retrieve Cath.
Unskilled, but Strong: Arthur has a staggering magic power according to the official Power Level ratings, making up the bulk of his Power Level of 40,000 that puts him on par with the Ten Commandments. The problem is, he has no idea how to use it, leaving him unable to do much of anything but fight with a sword. He still manages to stalemate a much more experienced Great Holy Knight until the latter starts using demonic magic.
Victory Is Boring: He initially saw the Four Knights of the Apocalypse as an amusement, having taken the eventual triumph of Camelot for granted.
Weak, but Skilled: Arthur has latent magical powers, but no prowess with them and in fact doesn't even have any idea what they are. Despite this, he's a prodigy with a blade, able to at least defend himself against Hendrickson for some time. Hendrickson himself believed that Arthur was holding back and wasn't posing as much of a threat as he'd like to for it, but that nonetheless he's an incredible swordsman for his age. Magically, given that we don't know what his power is, just that he has a lot of it, it could be said that he's also Unskilled, but Strong.
Willfully Weak: Subverted during the fight with Hendrickson. It's assumed by Hendrickson that Arthur was holding back when they fought due to having sensed how great the latter's power was. Later it's revealed that while Arthur indeed had great power which other characters also sensed, he had yet to discover what actual abilities he possesses and was in reality not holding anything back at all.
With Great Power Comes Great Insanity: In the sequel, it's clear that being turned into the host for Chaos has taken its toll on Arthur's mental stability, having turned him into a megalomaniac seeking to eradicate all nonhuman races and destroy the real world to create his own illusionary dimension.
The Worf Effect: After one chapter hyping up Excalibur's incredible power, Arthur is easily defeated while failing to even hurt Meliodas, Zeldris, Cusack, and Chandler. This hammers home the point that these Demons are on an entirely different level than most other Demons. Cusack even straight up says this to Arthur's face.
Worthy Opponent: Because Victory Is Boring, Arthur is somewhat relieved when Lancelot turns out to be as powerful an opponent as prophecy said he would be. He's pleased when he learns the boy's identity and makes an effort afterwards to refer to him by name.

The Four Evils

Ironside

"The Red Knight" Ironside

Magic: Summon Elemental

https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/ironside_fkota_anime.png

^{Click here to see his face}

A Holy Knight on mission to eliminate the Four Knights of the Apocalypse. He's also Percival's father.

Abusive Dad: He's supposed to be Percival's father, but he tries to kill him right from their first meeting and clearly doesn't have any fatherly feeling towards him, unlike how he feels about his other son Diodora. Turns out Percival is not really his son, but a corpse that he reanimated with a Life Spirit. Now that Percival developed a consciousness and is no longer useful as a body host for Diodora, Ironside sees Percival as nothing more than a failed experiment that should be wiped.
Archnemesis Dad: On his first meeting with his son Percival, he tries to kill him and succeeds in killing Percival's grandfather Varghese. Throughout the series, he continues to be the biggest and most personal enemy to his son. Although, it's later revealed Ironside isn't Percival's biological father.
Bullying a Dragon: Ironside is fully aware of his king's order to avoid combat with any of the Sins and how powerful Ban is, yet he still thinks he can fight him without help. As a result, Ban easily humiliates him. It's then revealed in the next chapter that Ban had his full power reduced to a tenth of the original level by a fellow Chaos Knight, meaning that even drastically weakened Ban could best him without any effort.
Calling Parents by Their Name: He only calls his father Varghese by name. This shows how he feels no family ties for him. This happens only after Varghese leaves Camelot with Percival, effectively preventing Ironside from using him as Diodora's host, as the flashback shows he used to call Varghese dad, making it more of a case of Disowned Parent.
Cast from Lifespan: Summoning the Life Spirit and attaching part of it to baby Percival's body took several years off Ironside's lifespan.
Character Catchphrase: "No discipline at all".
Cross Attack: He has the power to inflict X-shaped cutting attacks by pointing his two fingers at his opponents and anything that stands in his way.
Died in Your Arms Tonight: According to Guinevere, Ironside is fated to die in his beloved son's arms.
Disappeared Dad: Percival doesn't even know his father is alive until his sixteenth birthday.
Even Evil Has Loved Ones: As ruthless as he is, he does seem to genuinely love his son Diodora. He and Mortlach also respect and care for each other.
Knight Templar Parent: He's determined to keep his son Diodora alive at all costs, making him willing to kill anyone, including his own father, who is a threat to Camelot as Diodora can only stay alive inside a Pocket Dimension made by Chaos magic. Later on, it's revealed Ironside wanted to transfer Diodora's soul into an immortal body so he would live forever and he stole the corpse of a dead baby to use it as a vessel for Diodora, but the "vessel" gained a human consciousness and grew up to become Percival.
Love Makes You Evil: Ironside lost whatever morals he had after his wife died. The only person that matters to him is his and Brigit's only son Diodora, and he's going to keep his promise to maintain his son safe at all costs. He's willing to cross any line for his son.
Necromancer: Percival actually died when he was a baby, but Ironside reanimated his corpse by summoning a Life Spirit and making Percival into a vessel for it.
Parental Favoritism: He's more than willing to kill Percival, but swears to protect his other son Diodora with his life. It all makes sense when it's revealed Percival isn't really Ironside's son, but a Life Spirit that Ironside summoned to give life to a body that was meant to be Diodora's vessel.
Patricide: He kills his own father under the suspicion that he will become one of the Four Knights of Apocalypse.
Strong Family Resemblance: He very closely resembles his father Varghese.
Summon Magic: He can summon high-level nature spirits. He was also able to summon a Life Spirit, resulting in the creation of the Percival we know.
Unreliable Expositor: When Varghese asked where he found baby Percival's body, Ironside claimed that Percival was a prince whose carriage fell off a cliff in an "accident". Both Varghese and Mortlach doubted how much of that story was true, since Ironside certainly doesn't look like someone who would have qualms with causing said "accident" and killing a baby to get a body host for Diodora.

Djinn

A powerful elemental spirit summoned by Ironside.

Blow You Away: It creates powerful wind attacks.
Elemental Embodiment: Its body takes the form of a tornado, and it's described as the "The King of Wind Who Rules Over the Wind People".
Our Genies Are Different: Djinn is depicted as an elemental of wind, ranking above the common wind spirits, the Sylphs.
Razor Wind: Ironside uses Djinn's power to create cross-shaped slicing wind.

Pellegarde

"The Black Knight" Pellegarde

Voiced by: Rikiya Koyama (Japanese), Arthur Romeo (English)^{Foreign VAs}

Magic: Pyre

https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/pellegarde_fkota_anime.png

^{Click here to see his face}

A Holy Knight who takes an interest in Percival and pursues him across Britannia.

Affably Evil: Despite being one of King Arthur's Holy Knights, Pellegarde is very amicable, laid-back and cordial to his allies and enemies alike.
Black Knight: He's known as "The Black Knight" because of his black armor with a Badass Cape and a helmet that hides his face.
Carry a Big Stick: He carries an iron mace with a large spherical head.
Friendly Enemy: Even though they're supposed to be enemies, he's friendly to Percival and wants to make his apprentice. Percival eventually admits he's fond of Pellegarde too and tries to persuade him to defect from King Arthur's side.
Instant Armor: His Badass Cape magically produces his armor. The armor disappears when he takes off the cape.
Magic Fire: His flames cannot be extinguished by normal means. They will only go out once they've burned down the target or Pellegarde chooses to dispel his magic... or if Pellegarde's arms are bound.
Nominal Villain: The only reason why he's a "villain" is because he's one of Arthur's knights. Leave that aside and he's a very likable guy who is only interested in training Percival. Eventually, Percival recognizes that Pellegarde isn't a bad guy and wants him to switch sides so they don't need to fight.
Outliving One's Offspring: His only son Dick fell from a horse and died when he was four. Although Pellegarde accepted his loss, his wife didn't and they're now living in Camelot because there they can see an illusion of their son alive again.
Playing with Fire: He possesses the magic "Pyre" that allows him to create fireballs and control their trajectory at will. He can also create massive explosions of flame by releasing his magical energy all around him.
Punch-Clock Villain: He's loyal to his duty as one of Arthur's Holy Knights, but he doesn't present a threat to anyone during his free time. When infiltrating Liones, he just seeks to have a good time until the enemy knights pick a fight with him.
Shield Surf: He uses his shield as a surfing board that can float in the air.
Sky Surfing: He flies through the sky on his shield.
Spikes of Villainy: His helm looks like a clam with spikes.
Strong and Skilled: The Four Knights have a greater raw power and magic potential than him, but he can overpower them thanks to his experience and refined technique.
Token Good Teammate: He's the only knight from Camelot who doesn't have any malice towards nonhuman races and doesn't intend to kill the Four Knights of the Apocalypse, even wanting to take one of them under his wing.
Villain Takes an Interest: He knows Camelot's Holy Knights should kill the Knights of Apocalypse before they defeat King Arthur and destroy Camelot, but he thinks killing Percival would be a waste of the young knight's great potential. Instead, he wants to take the boy as his pupil and train him, something Ironside finds outrageous.
Would Hit a Girl: He does not hesitate to throw Gawain into the dirt. Given that she had previously stated her intention and ability to burn him alive, this is more than reasonable- although Percival (who's been victimized by both of them) doesn't see it that way.

Beltreipe

"The Green Knight" Beltreipe

https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/bertolepe_fkota.png

One of the Four Evils, introduced at the end of Part 1 of Four Knights of the Apocalypse and playing a more active role in Part 2.

Cool Sword: He wields a two-handed sword with straight blade on one edge and a saw blade on the other.
Flash Step: He uses incredible speed to move behind his enemies, cutting them in the process.
Evil Old Folks: He calls the adult Ironside "boy", implying he is quite old.
Horns of Villainy: His helmet design resembles horns.
Speed Blitz: He blitzes Anne and Donny, cutting them in half and killing them before they can even react. Or at least, he would have, had Gowther not stepped in.
You Are Already Dead: There's a slight delay in reaction when he cuts people during his Flash Step.

Worreldane

"The White Knight" Worreldane

One of the Four Evils, introduced at the end of Part 1 of Four Knights of the Apocalypse and playing a more active role in Part 2.

Ambiguous Gender: Due to being in full armor and covered by a cape, it's not clear if Worreldane is a man or a woman. They use traditionally feminine speech patterns in Japanese, but it's hardly anything concrete.
Doppelgänger Attack: When fighting Sixtus, Worreldane starts off by using their doppelgängers to launch multiple attacks at once.
I Am Not Left-Handed: During the Fairy Realm arc versus Sixtus, Worreldane initially pretends to be a group of low-ranking Mooks before combining back into a single being and revealing their true strength.
Self-Duplication: Worreldane has the ability to split into a large number of small doppelgängers. However, their strength seems to be divided in the process as well.

Individual Holy Knights

Talisker

"The Amber Knight" Talisker

Voiced by: Setsuji Satō (Japanese), Jon Allen (English)^{Foreign VAs}

Magic: Calamity

https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/talisker_armor.png

He's a Holy Knight who disapproved of the herbalist Ordo giving medical help to fairies and giants at Echo Gorge. When Ordo refused to stop helping non-human races, Talisker used a Chaos Staff to turn Ordo into a monster and forced him to poison the land of Echo Gorge. His plan is foiled by Ordo's grandchild Nasiens who saves Echo Gorge with his new drug and Percival defeats Talisker to turn Ordo back to normal.

Weather Manipulation: His magic "Calamity" allows him to control the weather, like summoning a hailstorm or lightning.

Magic: Reverse

https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/ardbeg_armor.png

^{Click here to see his face}

A former hunter who became Holy Knight serving King Arthur. His goal is eliminating all demons from Britannia because demons caused a fire that destroyed his home and killed his daughter.

Anti-Villain: Of the sympathetic variety. He traps an entire village of harmless demons inside a crystal and tries to kill Percival, but he's doing it all because he believes demons and the Knights of Apocalypse will bring a calamity worse than the war that killed his daughter.
Fountain of Youth: Ardbeg's Reverse ability allows him to reverse the age of every living thing within a certain radius, rejuvenating them to infancy.
Logical Weakness: His de-aging magic's effect takes the same number of minutes as the target's age. Logically, it has no immediate effect in someone who has lived 3,000 years like Gowther.
Necromantic: Arthur promised to resurrect his daughter if he helps him create a world without the non-human races. After Gowther shows him a physical illusion of his daughter, Ardbeg realizes Arthur's resurrection might have not brought back his daughter as he knew her and is satisfied with Gowther recreating the image of his daughter from his memories.
Outliving One's Offspring: His baby daughter died in a fire caused by demons and turned into ashes in his arms.
Redemption Equals Death: Gowther's illusion of his daughter convinces him to leave Percival and the demons of Gowther's village alone. Soon after that, Ardbeg sacrifices himself to save Anne from a spear thrown by another Holy Knight.
Tragic Bigot: He lost his baby daughter when demons attacked his village. Due to this, he has a strong hatred against demons.
The Transmogrifier: His magic "Reverse" turns his targets back into babies.
Traumatic Superpower Awakening: He got his de-aging magic from the trauma of his baby daughter's death.
Van Helsing Hate Crimes: He sees demons as enemies of humanity and believes all demons should be eliminated indiscriminately. He goes as far as to target a village of peaceful demons that refused to participate in the war from sixteen years ago.

Jericho

Voiced by: Marina Inoue (Japanese), Erica Lindbeck (English)^{Foreign VAs}

Magic: Ice Fang → Blizzard

https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/jericho_seven_deadly_sins.png

At 18 years old

^{Click here to see her as a 34-year-old}

^{Click here to see her in the star-visor armor}

Originally a Holy Knight of Liones. She later becomes a knight of Benwick at King Ban's service and teaches his son Lancelot who sees her as a sister figure. She gets lost in another dimension for three years along with Lancelot. After coming back to Britannia, she runs away from Lancelot to join Camelot's Holy Knights.

Abhorrent Admirer: Downplayed. Lancelot does care about Jericho and considers her part of his family, but he's appropriately unnerved when he discovers she has harbored a pedophilic attraction to him since he was a preteen.
Accidental Misnaming: Ban never gets her name right, calling her things like Jaleco or Janko.
Action Girl: While she was a Dark Action Girl, after becoming good and following around Ban, she has become a lot more competent. This is taken to the limit when she keeps both Ban and Elaine alive while running with both on her own back from two of the Ten Commandments.
Affectionate Gesture to the Head: On the receiving end of this from Ban, who is trying to comfort her as she mourns her brother's death.
Anguished Declaration of Love: During her first reunion with Lancelot since they returned from the other dimension, Jericho breaks down in tears as she can't hold back her feelings for Lancelot any longer. Through his mind reading, Lancelot gets to hear all of Jericho's thoughts about how much she madly loves him as a man, even though she knows those are depraved feelings.
Anywhere but Their Lips: According to Guinevere, Jericho has kissed Lancelot on his forehead before. Lancelot tries to claim this as his First Kiss to not let Guinevere feel so full of herself for stealing his first mouth-to-mouth kiss, but she doesn't think it counts.
Arbitrary Skepticism: Dismisses fairies as stories and legends after losing the powers she gained by drinking demon's blood.
Aw, Look! They Really Do Love Each Other: We're initially led to believe that Jericho holds her brother Gustav in contempt for disapproving her wishes to becoming a Holy Knight. However, after turning into a demon and crushing Gustav in her grip, Jericho quickly comes to her senses, screaming in horror and begging someone to kill her.
Badass Normal: She manages to be a much more competent Action Girl after losing her demonic powers.
Bifauxnen: She's a very androgynous looking female. Ban even thought she was a guy at first.
Big Sister Mentor: She becomes a teacher to Ban's son, Lancelot, and treats the boy as a little brother figure. Lancelot also loves Jericho as a sister, calling her part of his family.
Blaming the Victim: Jericho's "The Reason You Suck" Speech to a resurrected Elaine is full of this with her blaming her being controlled by the nature of her dark resurrection by Merascylla as a result of her feelings for Ban being shallow, rather than Merascylla's power damaging her very soul.
Blood Is the New Black: In one of her Brainwashed and Crazy moments, Jericho slathered her lips in blood like lipstick, claiming it to be her embracing her feminine side. Yeah, uh, that's not the way you're supposed to embrace it, Jericho dear.
Broken Pedestal: To Lancelot. He looked up to her as his Big Sister Mentor and is disappointed to see her betraying her own kingdom and his family by siding with Arthur's anti-nonhuman movement. To make it worse, Jericho only became a traitor because she's unable to suppress her pedophilic attraction towards Lancelot and Arthur took advantage of it by promising her to create a fake Lancelot who loves her back. Needless to say, Lancelot is unsettled by Jericho's gross obsession with him.
Brought Down to Normal: Post Heel–Face Turn she has lost the power she gained from drinking demon blood. She's still a step above regular humans, but she's still not much more than that compared to the Sins.
Butt-Monkey: Her encounter with Ban at Baste Dungeon completely humiliated her which is why she accepted Hendrickson's offer to drink demon blood in order to power herself up and erase her shame. After being purified of the demon blood, she's brought back down to normal however her troubles at being the butt of many a joke come back as well especially in matters involving Ban.
The Cavalry: In Grudge of Edinburgh, she conjures an ice bridge to save Lancelot and Tristan from an army that would've killed even them.
Cleavage Window: The torso part of her Holy Knight armor covers everything except for a large hole in the middle of her cleavage.
Competing with a Corpse: Jericho develops a crush on Ban, but he has no interest in any woman but Elaine even decades after her death. After Elaine is resurrected and reunites with Ban, Jericho has no choice but to give up on him.
Cool Helmet: After joining Camelot, she wears a helmet with a unique star-shaped visor.
Covert Pervert: She readily agreed to pay for a room in a hotel for her and Ban because it had only one bed. To her dismay, Ban prefers to sleep on the floor over sharing a bed with her. In the sequel series, she has some disturbing feelings for Ban's young son, Lancelot, which he uncovers after reading her thoughts.
Dark Action Girl: After becoming a Holy Knight, she becomes more action oriented. She does become better after Ban manages to save her from her own demons... literally.
Defeat by Modesty: She was unable to fight back against Ban when he stripped her of her clothes without knowing beforehand she was a female. Later this appears to have become Ban's default method of dealing with her whenever she manages to annoy him.
Determinator: She refuses to leave Ban or Elaine behind after the clash with Galan and Merascylla, opting to carry them both to safety even with two of the Ten Commandments on her tail. She took a boulder to the face and still managed to make it impressively far.
Deus ex Machina: Even after Jericho's valiant effort to save Ban and Elaine from Galan and Merascylla, all three of them would still have been screwed if they hadn't stumbled upon a cave. Which happened to have a bar inside it. Where the bartender just happened to be Escanor. Regardless, it's the thought that counts and it still makes her awesome for keeping both her love interest AND rival in love alive long enough to stumble upon that cave in the first place.
Discard and Draw: While relying on her speed and swordsmanship at first, losing her demonic powers led to a drastic drop in strength. After some intensive training, Jericho managed to unlock her inner magical ability, manipulating ice freely.
Dramatic Unmask: Guila destroys Star Visor's helmet, revealing the knight's true identity: Jericho.
Early-Bird Cameo: The sequel has her first appear wearing her star-visor armor in chapter 6, in a panel during a meeting of Arthur's knights. She isn't officially introduced until over 60 chapters later.
Et Tu, Brute?: When Guila first switches sides, she is too distraught to even fight.
Forgotten First Meeting: A small comic and the second OVA of the anime about a young Hendrickson shows that Jericho actually met Ban years ago. Not only that, the little girl actually asked Ban, a complete stranger, to marry her upon meeting him. It was just childish innocence though as she also asked Hendrickson the same question prior. Both Jericho and Ban apparently don't remember this meeting at all in the present.
Fragile Speedster: While these abilities give her speed, she however can't take powerful hits.
Freudian Excuse: A lot of Jericho's actions are motivated by her desire to prove her worth to her brother Gustav, who has a Stay in the Kitchen attitude.
Giant Poofy Sleeves: Her outfit before officially becoming a Holy Knight had these. They however were part of a man's attire typical of those worn in the medieval ages which the manga takes its setting from.
Glory Hound: Jericho seems more concerned with her personal standing than anything else. When Diane was injured, Jericho excitedly begged for the honor of taking her head and asked if she could have a higher rank.
Going Native: She finds her reason for heroism amongst the fairies, and moves into one of their forests at the end of the series (being one of very few humans to do so).
Groin Attack: She delivers a brutal one to Ban upon ambushing him at the Vaizel festival. Judging by the sound he made and the blood splatter, well.... ouch. Notably, this isn't played for laughs at all.
Heterosexual Life-Partners: With Guila. They become sisters-in-arms.
Hopeless Suitor:
- She develops a crush on Ban, who is on a quest to revive his lover Elaine. King lets Jericho know she doesn't have a chance with Ban, but she refuses to give up easily. By the time Ban and Elaine have a son together, Jericho has given up on Ban.
- As an adult, she has a very strong attraction to Lancelot, but he only sees her as an older sister figure and is destined to fall in love with Guinevere. Jericho knows a relationship with Lancelot is impossible, so she agrees to help Arthur in exchange of him creating a reality where she can have an adult Lancelot all to herself.
An Ice Person: After Gustav's death, Jericho took a moment of tearful reflection. Upon doing so, she finally awakens her natural magical abilities which turns out to be similar to Gustav's ice powers. In essence, she basically inherits her late brother's will and thus she decides to try to become a Holy Knight again.
Inconvenient Attraction: She's well aware of how weird and morally wrong it is for her to feel attracted to Lancelot, as they have an 18-year age gap and Lancelot only considers her to be his big sister figure and teacher. She left Benwick so that Lancelot wouldn't find out about her improper feelings for him.
In-Series Nickname: Before the reveal of her identity in the sequel, she's referred to by the descriptive moniker "Star Visor".
I Owe You My Life: She insists she must follow Ban around since she owes him her life, although that isn't her entire reason and Ban doesn't care about that.
Love Father, Love Son: In the first series, Jericho has a big crush on Ban, but he ignores her feelings because he only loves Elaine. In the sequel, Jericho has fallen in love with Lancelot, Ban's son, but knows he doesn't love her back in the same way because of their huge age difference.
Love Makes You Evil: She has sided with Camelot and betrayed Liones and Benwick because Arthur promised her to create a reality where an adult Lancelot is her lover, giving her a way to fulfill her lustful desires without the uncomfortable factor of Lancelot being 18 years younger than her.
Mrs. Robinson: The 34-year-old Jericho is madly in love with the 16-year-old Lancelot. And she was attracted to him since he was ten years old.
Mugged for Disguise: Her grudge against Ban stems from him having stolen her armor during his escape.
My God, What Have I Done?: Experiences this when she realizes she's crushing her brother to death after she's been turned into a Demon.
Obliviously Beautiful: She's stunned when Ban has to spell it out to her that the men in the bar at his hometown are staring because she is a pretty girl, something that didn't occur to her.
Power Level: The second Fanbook lists her level as 270 with her individual stats being Magic: 40, Strength: 130, and Spirit: 100. Of note, Jericho's stats along with other stats listed in the second Fanbook are those during the events wherein the Ten Commandments had become the main antagonists. As such, her stats in this Fanbook are those after she was stripped of her Demon Reactor powers.
Prefers the Illusion: She refuses to return to Benwick with Lancelot because he will never love her as more than an older sister figure. Instead, she goes to Camelot where Arthur has created a fake, more age-appropriate Lancelot to be her lover.
Promotion to Parent: Lancelot is her little brother figure, and for three years, they were spirited away to another dimension and Jericho was the only adult looking after the preteen Lancelot. It's very awkward to find out Jericho developed romantic feelings for Lancelot during the years she spent taking care of him.
"The Reason You Suck" Speech: Jericho finally meets Ban's love interest, Elaine, but out of jealously and due to the dark nature of her resurrection, the fairy tries to kill her. Ban tries to prevent her from hurting Jericho, but Elaine blasts him out of the way as a result. The following verbal beatdown then ensues:
Jericho: You stupid bitch!!!
Elaine: ...You don't need to be in such a hurry to die. I'll do it soon enough!!
Jericho: After hearing you talk, I can tell that you're just a selfish woman!! I can't believe you can act like this to the man you fell in love with!!
Elaine: This is all your fault...I just want Ban to quit trying to stop me from killing you!!
Jericho: ...Do you really love Ban?!
Elaine: ...I love him. IlovehimIlovehimIlovehimIlovehimIlovehimIlovehimIlovehimIlovehim!!!
Jericho: I LOVE BAN TOO!!
Elaine: I love Ban much more than you do!!
Jericho: I won't lose to you!!
Elaine: Ban will never love you!! He will never even look at you!!
Jericho:...NOW LISTEN!! A FLAT-CHESTED MIDGET LIKE YOU HAS NOTHING ON SOMEONE WITH A CHEST AND HEIGHT!! I OWE MY LIFE TO BAN!! I'LL DO ANYTHING FOR HIM!! BUT I WILL NEVER DO ANYTHING THAT WOULD BRING PAIN TO A MAN I LOVE!! NEVER!! But...without you...Ban is nothing!! Every sleeping and waking moment, he only thinks of you. He's wandering the world trying to find a way to revive you!! Being controlled? Like I give a damn! I don't care how many times you say you love Ban...the fact that you're being controlled so easily shows how shallow your feelings are!!
Elaine: ...I know. I know...Someone...Stop me!
Redemption Promotion: Played With, while she lost her demonic powers, post Heel–Face Turn she is a lot more competent and able to show off her abilities.
Reluctant Fanservice Girl: She tends to end up in really embarrassing situations such as getting stripped by Ban, to her great dismay.
Rescue Romance: She develops feelings for Ban after he saves her from her Demon form.
Samus Is a Girl: After the 16-year Time Skip, she first appears wearing a bulky armor that hides her gender to create a bigger surprise when her true identity is revealed.
Shut Up, Hannibal!: She gives an epic one to Elaine when she's rampaging out of control and states aloud that she would never allow something as mundane as "mind control" make her hurt the one she loves. The tirade is enough to snap Elaine back to normal.
Stalker with a Crush: She's determined to continue following Ban around until he falls for her, even though he already made clear that won't ever happen.
Story-Breaker Power: Her "Godspeed" power allows her to control time. It isn't as drastic an ability as it would be in another series, but it let her beat Ban in a matter of seconds.
Sudden Sequel Heel Syndrome: Jericho has betrayed the kingdoms of Liones and Benwick by joining Camelot and helping Arthur's cause of exterminating the nonhuman races. Her student Lancelot is determined to bring her back to the good side, but it's especially difficult when Jericho became a bad guy because of her unconventional feelings for Lancelot.
Super-Speed: Several of her abilities after being promoted to Holy Knight status involve speed. See "Time Master" below.
Sweet Polly Oliver: She dressed as a man as she thought of being a woman as weak. Later after officially becoming a Holy Knight, she adapted a more feminine armor attire.
Taken for Granite: Jericho has advanced her ice magic to the point that she can turn people into ice statues.
Teacher/Student Romance: One-sided and deconstructed. Jericho is Lancelot's teacher and, although she initially thought of him like a little brother, she finds herself developing unrequited romantic feelings for him during their three-year travel together in which he was 11-13 and she was 29-31. Unfortunately, as she knows she can't be with him in the real world, she takes up Arthur's offer in which he can give her a made-up world where she and Lancelot can be together. Suffice to say, Lancelot is shocked and uncomfortable when he finds out how Jericho really feels about him.
Time Master: Initially, she just seemed to be a speedy opponent, but her "Godspeed" ability is theorized to be this by King. Of note is that not only can she increase her own speed, but according to him, she was able to slow down Ban's regeneration to a near-complete stop with the same ability, making it seem as though she nulled his immortality. While she isn't able to stop it entirely, it still gives her such an edge on him that beating him went from impossible to easy very quickly when she gained a power boost. It's a more indicative name than first thought.
Tomboyish Name: She has a name usually reserved for males.
Tomboyish Ponytail: She ties her hair into a ponytail and is the biggest tomboy in the series.
Tomboyish Voice: She has a raspy, vaguely deep voice to denote her masculine personality.
Took a Level in Badass: After the 16-year Time Skip, Jericho has returned stronger than ever, being able to go toe-to-toe against Guila's half-demon form.
Tsundere: She acts haughty and condescending towards Ban even though she obviously has a huge crush on him. She even followed Ban for 20 miles, but angrily evaded the question as to why she was doing so rather than give a straightforward answer.
Villainesses Want Heroes: Jericho has become a villainess because she couldn't handle her obsessive lust for the heroic but much younger Lancelot.
Villainous Crush: After the 16-year Time Skip, Jericho is working for Camelot, making her an enemy to Liones, and she has a very intense attraction to one of the main heroes, Lancelot.
We Used to Be Friends: Jericho has betrayed Liones and Benwick by siding with Arthur. This turns her into the enemy of her old sister-in-arms, Guila and her little brother figure, Lancelot.
White Hair, Black Heart: She has silvery hair and has returned as a villainess after joining the side of the sequel's Big Bad.

Bald of Evil: He is bald and a Knight of Chaos who tries to assasinate the heroes.
Beard of Evil: He has a chinstrap beard.
Blind People Wear Sunglasses: He wears sunglasses which hide his blind pure white eyes.
Handicapped Badass: Being blind doesn't stop him from being an effective fighter. He can perfectly locate and hit his enemies despite his power erasing all sounds around him.

Make Some Noise: His stealth-type magic allows him to erase all sound within a certain radius around him.
No-Nonsense Nemesis: Macduff appears before the heroes, brutally attacks them without saying a word, and snaps Percival's neck.

Round Hippie Shades: He wears a pair of small, round shades over his eyes.
Shoot the Medic First: He kills Percival by snapping his neck after the boy shows his healing magic.
Sinister Shades: He is a villain with black teashades.
The Stoic: Shows no emotion and focuses solely on his mission.

Teaninich

Magic: Summon Creature

Mortlach

Voiced by: Showtaro Morikubo (Japanese), Todd Haberkorn (English)^{Foreign VAs}

Magic: Duelist

https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/mortlach_armor.png

^{Click here to see his face}

The brother-in-law of Ironside and the uncle of Diodora.

Alas, Poor Villain: While his death was karmatic, his subordinates and brother-in-law were saddened and horrified by his murder and mourned him.
Break Them by Talking: He gleefully tells Percival about his origins after being defeated. He reveals Percival he's not a human soul, but a Life Spirit inhabiting a reanimated corpse that isn't blood related to either Ironside or Varghese. He vocally express his grugde towards his existence, since Diodora would be healthy if Ironside had managed to turn Percival into his son's vessel, and emotionally breaks him as he declares he should never been born. Not being able to bear the Awful Truth and Mortlach's cruel words, the Life Spirit inside Percival leaves his body and "dies" as a result.
Cool Uncle: He gets along well with his nephew Diodora and helps him train behind his overprotective father's back.
Dark and Troubled Past: His mother died when he was young and his drunk father abused him and his older sister. His sister was his protector and raised him, but after getting pregnant she fell ill from the Demon King's poison and died. Her child, Diodora, was also affected by the poison and only survives to this day thanks to the protection of Camelot.
Even Evil Has Loved Ones: His dear nephew Diodora is the center of his world and he's fighting on Arthur's side because Camelot's Chaos magic is the only thing keeping Diodora alive.
Ironic Echo: As the engages Percival in combat, Mortlach recites the same creed Percival has been using to motivate himself, showing how he sees Percival as the villain and himself as the hero protecting his nephew.
Mortlach: "Crush the evil, rescue the weak, and be someone who risks their life for what is important to them."
Karmic Death: His cruel words drive poor Percival to abandon his human body and leave the mortal plane to join the other Life Spirits. Mortlach is pleased with the result, but a furious Lancelot doesn't allow him to enjoy it for long and slices his throat without mercy.
Kick the Dog: He tells Percival the Awful Truth behind his birth all while flashing a cruel smile on his face. He tops it off by finally telling the young knight he never should have been born.
Motive Rant: He delivers one to Percival after the latter asks about Diodora.
Mortlach: This is Diodora, the child she (Brigit) left. My sole shining light. I risk my life to protect him. But he was poisoned in the womb, too. His days are numbered, sad to say. He only lives now thanks to the protection of Camelot, our eternal kingdom. Do you know what that means? It means you're the ones trying to take him from me! To take the only place Diodora has! To take his very life!! And you have no right to rip everything away from him!!
Not Blood, Not Family: He takes this attitude towards Percival. Unlike his blood-related nephew Diodora, Percival isn't his sister's son, but a Life Spirit possessing a body that Ironside wanted to make into a vessel for Diodora. Because of this, Mortlach sees Percival as less than human and claims he'll never be real family to Ironside or Varghese, even though Varghese did love Percival as his grandson.
Pyrrhic Victory: Even though he lost their duel, he manages to "win" against Percival by telling him the Awful Truth of his origins, which breaks Percival so badly that he "dies" when he chooses to leave his human vessel and join the other Life Spirits. Just when Mortlach is gloating about his victory, Lancelot kills him as payback for breaking Percival.
"The Reason You Suck" Speech: To Gawain:
Mortlach: Yes, perhaps we are all commoners... But there are those we cherish... People we risk out lives to fight for. You, meanwhile, have nobody you love. The concept of love is beyond you. You'd never understand. Your father raised you, your uncle gave you everything... But you never felt love for them. If that makes you exceptional, I will gladly choose to be common any day.
Sealed Evil in a Duel: His magic "Duelist" allows him to seal himself and anyone who accepts a duel with him into a pocket dimension, from which neither can leave until the other is killed or rendered unconscious. Additionally, magic cannot be used in this space, only pure fighting power.
Tautological Templar: He acts like he has moral superiority over the heroes because he loves his nephew and fights for him, yet he doesn't care what happens to anyone else or even if Britannia is destroyed as long as Diodora is safe. At the same time, he ignores that his most hated enemy Percival has more loved ones than he does, as well as a much higher moral code than him.

Nanashi

Nanashi / Tomintoul

Voiced by: Daiki Hamano (Japanese), Chris Hackney (English), Rafael Pacheco (Latin American Spanish)

Magic: Iai

https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/nanashi_seven_deadly_sins.png

^{Click here to see his armor as "Tomintoul"}

A foreign swordsman who first appears in the Great Fight Festival in Vaizel. He joins up with Arthur and follows him to Camelot.

He appears in Four Knights of the Apocalypse as a chaos knight under the alias "Tomintoul".

Angel Unaware: He is originally from the Goddess Clan, with scars on his back where his wings used to be.
Bilingual Bonus: The samurai's name Nanashi means nameless in Japanese. Basically, he's No Name Given in name.
Broken Angel: He's a member of the Goddess Clan, but had his wings torn off, leaving the scars on his back.
Coat Cape: He wears a coat as if it was a cape.
Cross Attack: His strongest attack, Instant Cross Star, has him fire a giant cross-shaped beam from his sword.
Cutting Through Energy: He slices a Gray Demon's energy beam in half with his sword.
Everything's Better with Samurai: Nanashi, a samurai in an otherwise Arthurian setting. Interestingly enough, unlike other characters in manga/anime series who may allude to Japanese culture in design, Nanashi is literally a samurai as not only do characters note he has rather foreign looking clothes, he's also labeled specifically as a foreign swordsman.
Graceful Loser: He takes his defeat by Lancelot with dignity and gives his katana to Lancelot as a sign of respect.
Healing Hands: He possesses healing magic, as is standard for the Goddess Clan.
Iaijutsu Practitioner: His main fighting style is an instantaneous sword slash that creates a slicing shockwave against an opponent. Strangely enough, "Iai" is listed as his magic in the second fanbook.
Katanas Are Just Better: Nanashi carries around a katana, which he uses as his main weapon. It's actually a weapon crafted by the Ultimate Blacksmith Dubs.

Guinevere

Voiced by: Sumire Morohoshi (Japanese)

Magic: Kaleidoscope

https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/guinevere_4kota_anime.png

^{Click here to see her in Part 2}

^{Click here to see her in the future}

The princess of Cameliard. She has the power of foresight and claims to be Lancelot's fated lover.

The day after her first meeting with Lancelot, she's captured by Ironside with the intention of forcing her to use her precognition to help Camelot in the war against nonhuman races.

Adorably Precocious Child: Her precognition powers make her act rather precocious for a 12-year-old. Lancelot finds her a mix of annoying and strangely endearing.
Age-Gap Algebra: Guinevere is 12 years old and Lancelot is 16 years old when they first meet each other. Lancelot is annoyed by getting suddenly kissed by a child, but Guinevere knows her age won't be an issue by the time their romance officially begins approximately three years into the future.
Guinevere: I may be a kid now... But by the time you turn twenty, I'll be sixteen!
Blessed with Suck: Her Prophetic Dreams make her a valuable target for kidnappers, and have forced her to experience horrible things firsthand since the age of three. When her father could no longer keep them secret, he sent her to the allied country of Liones, hoping its knights would be able to protect her. They weren't.
Brutal Honesty: She doesn't mince words when informing others that they have a terrible fate- especially if she doesn't like the person in question.
Catapult Nightmare: In chapter 129, she jolts awake from a vision of something very bloody being inflicted on Ban.
Cathartic Crying: In her second meeting with Lancelot, Guinevere is acting optimistically to keep herself composed, but when she tells him they're destined to be separated, she breaks down in tears and almost collapses.
Composite Character: She combines elements of the Arthurian Legend's Guinevere with Sebile and the Lady of Shalott- both women who had a Love Before First Sight with Lancelot.
The Cuckoolander Was Right: Her visions are entirely correct (as proven by Gawain's location and Dalflare's magic), but it's hard to see this at first because of her age, disregard for chronology, and love for teasing Lancelot.
Curtains Match the Window: Her hair and eyes are represented as lilac on book covers, although only her eyes are that color in-story.
Cute Oversized Sleeves: Guinevere is introduced as a cute 12-year-old girl wearing an adorable white dress with flaring sleeves.
Damsel in Distress: Ironside arrives to capture her so Camelot can use her oracle magic in their war against Liones. She doesn't resist because her visions tell her this is her fate and she shouldn't try to change it, but also knows Lancelot will find her eventually.
Defiant Captive: She allows Ironside to kidnap her and answers Arthur's demands to tell him about the future, but also warns Arthur that going outside of fate's preexisting pattern won't end well for him.
Didn't See That Coming: She accepts her role as Arthur's personal oracle because she thought he wouldn't use her for any purpose other than hearing about her future visions. She didn't expect at all that Arthur would have no fear of altering the future, and is even more shocked when she sees that Arthur doesn't care if his soldiers get killed because of that choice.
Dreaming of Things to Come: Her "Kaleidoscope" magic allows her to see future events around her in her dreams. According to Guinevere, her dreams are so detailed that she experiences the future as if it were reality.
Establishing Character Moment: In her first real appearance, she immediately introduces herself to Lancelot as his lover and kisses him without his consent.
Ethereal White Dress: She's wearing a white dress in her first two appearances; the first time because she's dressed as a bride and the second to emphasize her role as a mysterious seer. In both situations, white has its usual connotations of otherworldliness.
Fatal Flaw: Fatalism and naïveté. Guinevere firmly believes people shouldn't actively change the course of the future she has seen in her dreams, fearing that the Butterfly of Doom effect could cause tragedies that weren't supposed to happen. However, by doing this, she accepts to become Arthur's tool and doesn't try to resist when he demands her to tell him everything she knows about the future. She thought Arthur would fear changing the future as much as she does, but turns out she was wrong. In consequence, her lack of resistance to fate has enabled Arthur to change the future for the worse.
The Fatalist: She insists that defying fate comes with a high price for herself and others. She's very concerned when Arthur actively tries to alter the fate she has seen in his favor.
Fille Fatale: She flirts at a very inappropriate age, partly as a displacement activity to avoid thinking about other things.
Forceful Kiss: When she first meets Lancelot in person, she surprises him by kissing him without even introducing herself first.
Foreseeing My Death: Her dreams have shown her how her entire life is supposed to pan out, up to her death at the age of 71.
The Gadfly: She loves using her foresight to jerk people around. Especially her crush, Lancelot.
The Gift: Most humans have to train to unlock their magical ability; Guinevere unlocked hers at the age of 3.
Girl in the Tower: Her Camelot dwelling is on a low level of a tower with a face. It gives her an excellent view of all the land Arthur has stolen from Britannia.
Girl of My Dreams: Lancelot first sees her older self in a dream he has while sleeping at a mountain where people can see visions of their future lovers.
Graceful Ladies Like Purple: Her color scheme often incorporates purple, highlighting her royal heritage and courtier's skillset.
Guile Heroine: She uses her precognition, and no small degree of social insight, to manipulate foreign dignitaries. Even before Arthur kidnapped her, she had an escape plan in place and knowledge of the password to his lair.
Hair Color Dissonance: Guinevere's hair color is described as black in the manga, but the anime and book covers depict it as dark purple to match her eye color.
Huge Guy, Tiny Girl: She barely reaches Lancelot's waist and he can easily carry her on his back. Unlike Lancelot's parents, his prophetic dream about Guinevere promises she'll grow to adult size when she's older.
It's All My Fault: Implied, when looking out of the tower in Camelot in Chapter 129, she seems find herself responsible for everything.
I Will Wait for You: Right before Ironside takes her away, Guinevere telepathically communicates with Lancelot to tell him she'll be waiting for the day he finds her again.
The Jailbait Wait: Inverted. She's four years younger than Lancelot and he's sixteen when they first meet. Despite his protests, Guinevere's Prophetic Dreams give her full confidence that he'll take her as his lover when she's a bit older.
Lady and Knight: Like in the myth, she's the Bright Lady to Lancelot's White Knight. Guinevere is the princess of Camelliard and hopelessly in love with the hero Lancelot. When she's kidnapped, she isn't afraid because she knows Lancelot will find her someday.
Large Ham: Downplayed. Her dialogue is unashamedly loud, earnest, and often ended with emojis of hearts or music notes. Her physical gestures are just as expressive.
Last Day of Normalcy: Because she believes it's inevitable anyway, she doesn't tell authorities about her kidnapping until it's in progress. Instead, she spends the preceding day doing what any kid might; stressing out her chaperone, mooning over a cute boy, and not talking about anything in the least serious or disturbing.
Little Miss Snarker: Once she's brought to Camelot, Guinevere starts snarking at Arthur's knights and even Arthur himself.
Lonely Rich Kid: She's a princess who lives quite luxuriously given the era, but her preternatural knowledge of future stuff isolates her from most people.
Love Before First Sight: She was in love with Lancelot before they met, because she's already experienced (in a manner of speaking) that meeting and the growth of their relationship through her Prophetic Dreams.
MacGuffin Super-Person: Because her oracle magic makes her an invaluable tool for war, Ironside abducts her to the Alternate Dimension where Camelot is hidden.
Mal Mariée: When she's just 12 years old, she's forced to become the 32-year-old Arthur's fiancée. She's blunt about the fact that she dislikes Arthur and only acquiesces out of fatalistic resignation. Her only comfort is the knowledge that she'll have an affair with Lancelot.
Manic Pixie Dream Girl: Played with. Though not as supernatural or enmeshed in the plot as her Love Interest, she fits the archetype of "quirky, assertive girl who appears out of nowhere to sweep the hero into adventure".
Mark of the Supernatural: She's a uniquely powerful seer with purple hair and eyes.
Mathematician's Answer: When Lancelot asks her who she is for the first time, she merely answers that she's his "lover". He's annoyed since her answer doesn't say anything about what he actually wants to know about her, such as her goals and origins. She later gives him more of a proper answer.
Meaningful Name: Like Ban, she has a fairy-related name despite being human: "Guinevere" translates in Welsh as "white fairy", referencing her Color Motif, pale complexion, and the clan of her future lover.
Mindlink Mates: Guinevere does not share her lover's telepathy, but she is strongly precognitive, which enables her to finish his sentences and deeply understand his personality before even meeting him (because she's seen many things he will do and say over the course of his life). When they first meet, Lancelot even thinks Guinevere is reading his mind because she can predict his thought and behavior patterns so perfectly.
Mouthy Kid: Lancelot and Arthur are subject to needling from her.
Ms. Vice Girl: She does her utmost to avoid unpleasant topics, even when that means not warning Lancelot she's about to get kidnapped by Ironside. However, this habit comes not from malice, but her being a child who knows her future in great detail, including the bad and traumatic moments.
Mundane Utility: She takes advantage of her foresight to locate her fated boyfriend Lancelot and spend time with him in private.
Mysterious Purple: She has purple eyes and is an enigmatic girl with rare oracle-type magic.
My Significance Sense Is Tingling: Inverted. Post-timeskip, it's the absence of someone from her visions who should be in them- Lancelot, who ditched the war after Percival's death- that makes her realize things can't be going very well for the forces of good.
Mystical Waif: Guinevere is a young princess with a very rare Oracle-type magic. Because of her unique power, she's kidnapped by the villains and asks one of the heroes to come rescue her.
Noodle Incident: How she learned about the dangers of changing fate isn't mentioned, but it was apparently bad enough that she considers being kidnapped by a genocidal maniac preferable to trying again.
No Sense of Personal Space: She is very physical with Lancelot whenever possible, because 1), she thinks they're a couple, and 2), because touch, as something absent from her visions, is very reassuring for her. Unfortunately, Lancelot does not feel the same way about either.
Not So Omniscient After All: Her precognition magic is the most accurate and comprehensive in the setting. At first, Guinevere knows every detail of her own future as well as Lancelot's. However, this starts changing after she shares her visions with Arthur and he interferes with them. Two years later, the future has changed so much that Guinevere doesn't even know where Lancelot is anymore.
Oh, Crap!: She has this reaction to Arthur's willingness to Screw Destiny to win.
Oracular Urchin: She first appears to Lancelot as a mysterious and strange young girl who claims to know about the future, including that she's his destined lover. She also knows stuff about Lancelot that he hasn't told anyone yet because he'll tell her in the future.
Pet the Dog: Arthur keeps her quiet by killing hostages whenever she disobeys. The success of this threat is one of few indications that Guinevere isn't completely selfish.
Ping Pong Naïveté: Guinevere acts very mature and knowledgeable for her young age because her dreams have made her experience events that happen in her adulthood. Despite that, she's still a child who hasn't actually lived through those events. She severely underestimates Arthur's ambition to change the future she has foreseen, believing that her vague warnings and losing two of his Holy Knights would be enough to stop him from doing it. To her horror, Arthur makes it clear he sees his own men's lives as expendable.
Plucky Girl: Her visions let her know she'll have a lot of hardship in her life, including saying farewell to her beloved Lancelot, but she decides to face it with a smile because she's happy with just knowing he will be there to help her.
The Pollyanna: From a very young age, Guinevere's dreams showed her that her life will be surrounded by tragedy. However, she doesn't let this knowledge bring her down and enjoys every happy moment she can enjoy, especially with Lancelot. The only time she cries is when she remembers her romance with him is doomed, but she still decides to make the most of the small time they'll have together.
Power Incontinence: She has no control over the topic of her visions or the detail with which they come to her. Every time she goes to sleep, she could dream of hugging her boyfriend or getting kidnapped- she doesn't know.
Power Misidentification: During her first meeting with Lancelot, she perfectly predicts his lines. Lancelot assumes she's a telepath like him, but she says she just "knows" everything that he's going to tell her.
Precocious Crush: She first meets Lancelot when he's sixteen and she's only twelve. She doesn't care about the age difference and forces a kiss on him as soon as she introduces herself as his future lover.
Princesses Prefer Pink: She's a princess who prefers to wear pink dresses.
Rescue Romance: In her first meeting with Lancelot, he saves her from falling off a high place. She then declares herself his lover and takes his first kiss before properly introducing herself.
Resigned to the Call: She does hate being kidnapped and brought to Camelot as Arthur's bride, but lets events go as fate dictates because she believes defying it is too much of a risk.
Savvy Guy, Energetic Girl: Guinevere is perky, flirtatious and optimistic, while Lancelot is cool, aloof and jaded.
Seen It All: Due to her Prophetic Dreams showing her every important event in her life ahead of time, nothing can surprise Guinevere. Even arriving at the Eldritch Location that is New Camelot doesn't even make her flinch because she already saw it in her visions plenty of times.
Self-Proclaimed Love Interest: Because of her prophetic powers, she already considers Lancelot to be her lover. Lancelot isn't up for it when they first meet because she's only twelve at the time, but she's confident he'll change his mind when she's older.
Servile Snarker: Guinevere is a prisoner all but in name in Camelot, but an irreplaceable one because of her rare magic. She exploits this fact to tell its leaders, especially Arthur, exactly what she thinks of them.
She Is All Grown Up: Inverted. Lancelot meets her grown-up self in a dream. Several chapters later, he meets her in the present day, but as a little girl. He's put off by the idea that they'll become a couple, but she's confident that he will fall in love with her when she grows up and becomes beautiful.
Single Woman Seeks Good Man: She loves Lancelot because of the kind and heroic nature he hides behind his aloof exterior.
Star-Crossed Lovers: With Lancelot. Because of her Prophetic Dreams, Guinevere fell in love with Lancelot before even meeting him, but she also knows she won't ever be properly together with him because Arthur makes her his captive bride. Apparently, she'll only be able to see Lancelot a few times throughout her life until they'll share a "final farewell", the memory of which leaves her in tears.
Stepford Smiler: Although she acts very cheerful and playful most of the time, knowing every important event of her future has had a negative effect on her psyche. She tries to enjoy every short moment she spends with Lancelot, but can't stop herself from crying when she remembers their romance is doomed. In part 2, she drops the cheerfulness once Arthur changed fate so much.
Superpower Lottery: She has oracle-type magic, the rarest of all known nine types, and her visions of the future are much more detailed than vague omens like Baltra's. The only limit to her magic is that she can only predict what happens around her.
The Tease: She likes to tease Lancelot right from their first meeting, getting touchy-feely with him and calling him her lover to make him flustered. She then invites him to her inn room and puts on a minidress with Cleavage Window to get a reaction out of him.
The Three Faces of Eve: The Seductress. Even though she's the youngest of the three, Guinevere is much more romantically aggressive and physically affectionate towards her love interest than Anne and Isolde.
Token Mini-Moe: Unlike Anne and Isolde who are both 16 years old, Guinevere is just a preteen when she first meets her future lover.
Town Girls: The Femme. Guinevere, a princess with no combat abilities, is much more feminine and delicate than Anne and Isolde, who are both knights.
Trickster Girlfriend: During her first meeting with her future boyfriend Lancelot, she spends the entire time confusing and teasing him with cryptic prophecies and spills out secrets he has yet to share with her.
Troubling Unchildlike Behaviour: Even by medieval standards, a preteen kissing someone four years older than her was quite abnormal ^note. It goes to show how much magic has affected her mind.
Unreliable Expositor: Guinevere informs Lancelot that the future is "set in stone", but this is not true; it can be changed by people who know its current shape. She was rather sharing her belief that the future shouldn't be changed because backlash always results.
Unwitting Instigator of Doom: Guinevere informs Arthur of her future visions, which predicted two of his Holy Knights would be defeated by Lancelot in Wallnack. Arthur proceeds to ignore Guinevere's warning about not changing the future, starting a chain of events that results in casualties for both sides, including the deaths of Jade and Percival.
Waif Prophet: As a child, she's so small and fragile that a stiff breeze is enough to blow her over, but her Prophetic Dreams have shown her in great detail what will happen to her and the people around her during her lifetime.
Weaksauce Weakness:
- Her sight is keyed to important things, or at least things important enough that people tell her about them. If important people do nothing for a long period of time, they're more or less off her map.
- The time she has in which she can receive visions is limited. At the beginning of the story she's developed a backlog of information, but Arthur's reckless changes create so many new events she can't see all of them in the sleeps she has.
Wight in a Wedding Dress: Subverted. In her first appearance, Lancelot sees her as a ghostly apparition with the form of a young woman in a wedding dress. Then it turns out she's quite alive and what Lancelot saw was a vision of her future self.
Wise Beyond Their Years: She's twelve, but has a mature mind due to already having experienced most of what will happen in her life with her oracle-type magic.
Xanatos Speed Chess: Kaleidoscope is suited to this trope, updating itself with the changes made to fate while Guinevere is awake.
You Can't Fight Fate: She firmly believes all that she sees in her Prophetic Dreams is set in stone.

Diodora

https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/diodra_fkota.png

Ironside's older son. When Diodora was just a baby, he fell victim to a deadly disease product of the poisoning that his mother suffered during pregnancy by the poison generated by the Demon King during the new Holy War. The Chaos magic in Camelot has been keeping Diodora alive since he was an infant.

Delicate and Sickly: His father is worried about his health and just running a bit is bad for his body. Apparently, his condition is so serious that he can't live without the Chaos magic of Camelot.
Historical Gender Flip: Diodora is playing the part of Percival's sibling from Arthurian Legend, but this sibling is typically a sister that sometimes is referred to by the name Dindrane. Possibly subverted since Percival is not Diodora's brother.
Living on Borrowed Time: Diodora should have died when he was a baby because he was poisoned by the Demon King's corpse while he was in his mother's womb. Ironside brought him to Camelot so the Chaos magic would keep him alive.
Long-Haired Pretty Boy: He's got shoulder-length hair and very delicate features, especially compared to his estranged brother Percival.
Morality Pet:
- Ironside loves and wishes to protect Diodora, showing he isn't completely heartless.
- Mortlach is a very loving uncle to Diodora, with his whole motivation for antagonizing Percival being that he and the other Knights of Apocalypse are destined to destroy the dimension that's keeping Diodora alive.
Older Than He Looks: He's sixteen years old, but similar to Percival, he's short and has a childlike build. This could be a result of his frail constitution.
Protectorate: He's kept indoors at all times not only because he's weak-bodied, but because Ironside is trying to protect him in the memory of his late wife.

Bourse

A resident of Camelot who moved in from Britannia to reunite with his deceased little sister.

Moving Beyond Bereavement: He eventually comes to accept that his little sister is dead, and what Camelot created was merely an illusory manifestation of his wish to resurrect her. This acceptance causes said manifestation to disappear.
Religious and Mythological Theme Naming: He is named after Bors, a knight from Arthurian legend. Their Japanese names match exactly, but the English translation adopted a different spelling.
Seeks Another's Resurrection: The reason is moved to Camelot was he believed the kingdom could revive his little sister who died when they were both children. He later tries to bring her back to Britannia with him.
