History
Gaius was given a rabbit's foot by his mother. Many years later, he gave the rabbit's foot to Merlin before he left for the Isle of the Blessed.

Merlin took the rabbit's foot with him to island and kept it near after he returned. He later gave it to his mother, Hunith, after the bargain his made with Nimueh caused her to fall gravely ill (Le Morte d'Arthur).
