Percival

Sir Percival is a knight of The Round Table. He is also a friend of Lancelot.

Biography
Percival's family was killed when Cenred's men raided his village, and when Merlin sent for Lancelot to aid Arthur after Morgana's conquest of Camelot, Percival volunteered and accompanied Lancelot back to Camelot, the two men saving the others from Morgana's and Morgause's knights by triggering a rockslide. Percival's courage and strength impressed Arthur so much that he asked Percival to call him 'Arthur' rather than 'Your Highness' despite the fact that the two had only just met.

He went with them to the Castle of the ancient kings of Camelot, where he swore his allegiance to Arthur in the subsequent attempt to retake Camelot, stating that Arthur's enemies were his enemies. In recognition of his bravery, Arthur knighted Percival as a knight of Camelot despite his lack of noble birth. Following the battle, Percival survived, and joined the others in bringing Guinevere back into Camelot, the group now dressed in the cloaks and armour of true Knights of Camelot.

It has been confirmed that Percival will return in Series 4.

Personality
Percival was a quiet man who preferred to let his considerable strength and combat ability do the talking. However he was also kind, courageous and loyal. He was a good friend of Lancelot though it is unknown when or how the two of them met. Percival was willing to fight to what might be his death for what was right. He pledged his loyalty to Arthur on the day he met him, even though he barely knew the Prince.

Abilities
Percival was skilled with a sword, able to hold his own against several of Morgana's knights. He was also very strong, able to move several boulders to block a valley as well as shove back two knights at the same time. Percival used his considerable strength to augment his swordplay allowing him to attack with powerful blows that could overwhelm most opponents.
