Lancelot (ランスロットWP, Ransurotto?), Class Name Saber (セイバー, Seibā?), is a Saber-class Servant summoned by Ritsuka Fujimaru in the Grand Orders of Fate/Grand Order.
Profile[]
Identity[]
Also known as the Knight of the Lake (湖の騎士, Mizūmi no kishi?), the person serving as a negative symbol of the Arthurian legend.[3][4] The "Knight of the Lake", admired as the strongest even among the Knights of the Round Table.[3] He was extremely loyal to King Arthur as one of the Knights of the Round Table. Lancelot's downfall began when he fell in love with Artoria's queen, Guinevere.[5] It is said that the tragic love story of Diarmuid Ua Duibhne and Grainne later became the story model of Guinevere and Lancelot.[6]
Life[]
He was originally born and raised in France.[7] Having lost his parents as a child, he was raised by the Lady of the Lake Vivian and thus gained the alias "Knight of the Lake".[3]
He had heard rumors of the King of Britain. He believed the King of Knights in Britain was pure nonsense. He began to compare himself with the King of Knights until he decided to travel to Britain to see the legendary king with his own eyes.[7]
He met the King as soon as he landed in Britain in the midst of battle. It carved a deep impression of the King when he saw the sight of a young boy riding on his horse, gallantly swinging her sword in a horde of invaders. It proved how wrong he was, the requirement to battle day and night was not physical attributes but it was one who holds unwavering convictions. Lancelot had fought together with the King in that battle, and for his accomplishments he was granted the honor of speaking with her as a friend and invited to Camelot as a guest. Before long, he began desiring a seat on the Round Table. He became a knight among the Round table and saw many battles.[7]
He had many famous exploits, including once hiding his name and disguising himself to enter a horse race for the sake of a friend’s honor. Even after falling into a trap and being forced to face the enemy's blades with only his bare hands, he had proved victorious with his skilled fighting prowess using only an elm branch.
Downfall[]
When Sir Tristan left the castle saying King Arthur does not understand how others feel.[7] It was those words that began to trigger his insanity.[8] Sir Lancelot wishes to lessen the burden for his King, a wish that Guinevere also held. They conversed with each other and came to recognize each other as friends and rely on the other. It was then that Sir Lancelot became attracted to her. He learnt the King's secret from her.[7] Though the king was actually a woman, she had married in order to maintain the pretense that she was a man and the image of a stable royal family. Guinevere, in turn, willingly sacrificed her own life as a woman in order to preserve this ideal government.
When Lancelot and the queen began their affair, the Knight of the Lake considered fleeing Camelot with her, but his loyalty to Artoria and his sense of duty prevented him from doing so. When political enemies of the king learned about the affair, Agravain, who was working for Morgan le Fay, exposed the adulterous relationship to the public. The queen was ordered to be executed. Lancelot attempted to save her, killing several of his fellow knights including Gawain's siblings, Gareth and Gaheris, in the process.[9] He fled back to his own domain.
Lancelot, who was considered the perfect knight, Guinevere, the queen who had made her beloved betray his duty, and Artoria, the king who blamed herself for her loyal knight's despair, all suffered from the resulting fallout. Although Artoria forgave Lancelot's actions, Gawain still bore great hatred towards Lancelot for his betrayal and the death of his brothers.[9]
His disloyalty fractured the balance among the Knights of the Round Table. This incident eventually became the trigger of civil war and carnage, and the country shattered to pieces in the flames of war.[4] Lancelot, even after being excommunicated, wanted to participate in the Battle of CamlannWP to serve his King but Gawain hostilely rejected him, which helped result in the downfall of his King and country.[9]
When Lancelot heard the news of his King's death, Lancelot sank in despair and escaped through madness. Thus, when he became a Heroic Spirit, he was summoned as the insane Berserker.
Appearance[]
Just like his Berserker counterpart, Lancelot is a robust man, fully clad in armor. However, instead of black, his armor is of lustrous dark slate blue or deep purple color, with veils and pieces of gold throughout. His sword, Arondight, however, possesses the same color and appearance to Berserker's sword. His eyes are a light purple and his hair is of the same color. Said hair is incredibly spiky and parted over to the left. It is very short compared to the length of his Berserker counterpart's, suggesting this is a younger version of Lancelot.
In his second Ascension, his purple armor becomes glittering white. Six blue tassels are now attached to the back of his armor, with golden cross-shaped pendants on the other hand. Arondight's colors change: the edges become the same white as his armor, the mid-section and guard turn bright gold, and the hilt turns blue.
In his third Ascension, the tassels go from blue to white, and Lancelot now wears a blue cape with golden trims.
Personality[]
In his condition, summoned under the Saber Class is the closest to his original form. Caring for justice, honoring women, loathing evil - this virtuous figure overflowing with romance was acknowledged as the "ideal knight" by King Arthur.[2]
« A noble knight? Don't make me laugh. I participated in the destruction of Britain! » |
(Lancelot) |
Lancelot himself probably feels more than anyone else that it is an irony for him to be a Saber. And thus Lancelot is convinced that the most appropriate Class for himself is Berserker.[2]
Relationships[]
- Artoria Pendragon / Artoria Pendragon (Lancer)
- "(Whispering) N-no, I have no right to see her..."[10]
- "My king, the King of Knights. It is my great honor to be able to meet you again in a place like this. Yes, this is no longer the case where one can say that I am not befit of my reputation. I will stand proud & raise this sword to proceed to battle."[10]
- "'Tis an honor. This time, I am not mistaken; this be the place I shall offer my sword."[1]
- Artoria Pendragon Alter / Artoria Pendragon Alter (Lancer)
- "What evil! But it was me who cornered the king..."[10]
- Mash Kyrielight
- "We should have neither bond nor a connection, yet I feel one as such. I see. It do seem that he had done his duty magnificently. For now, I shall simply, quietly take pride in it."[1]
- "Naturally, an intimate friend of mine. I am truly glad for another chance to once again fight side by side with him... However. While that may be the case. No matter how many times we do battle, I shall certainly be the one to emerge victorious. Indeed."[1]
- Mordred
- "Who goes there? Huh... Mordred? No... Wait! Wait, I say! You... Mordred!? Is that you!?"[10]
- "Wait, wait. I... I am putting my thoughts in order, so..."[1]
- Tristan
- "Ah, Sir Tristan, my friend. I see you still pierce and slice others as you grieve. I am truly relieved you and I were never enemies. Either way, you should probably talk about your relationship woes somewhere else!"[10]
- "...Very well, Sir Tristan! Let us put that matter for another place! In the dining room and the hallways, let us speak nothing but heroic tales!"[1]
- Gareth
- "Oh, it's you, Gareth. I look forward to seeing you in action that will reflect well on the name of the Knights of the Round Table....I am in no position to give you any other advice. The courage and loyalty you display...that is what we lose sight of at times. So do not be like me, Gareth. That is the last piece of advice you, as my attendant, will receive from me. In fact, I should be the one learning from you."[10]
- Bedivere
- "Bedivere! You helped me in more ways than one. Let us fight together again as fellow Knights of the Round Table."[10]
- Percival
- "It's been a while, Percival. That holy spear of yours shines as brightly as ever, and your commanding expression remains like that of long ago. Then, just like old times, let us lead the way together. Of course, that is what we would always do, is it not?"[11]
Role[]
Fate/Grand Order[]
Camelot/Zero[]
Lancelot, along with the other Knights of the Round Table, is summoned by the Lion King in the "Camelot" Singularity. The Lion King gives them the choice to either aid her in her "Holy Selection" or side against her, giving them a half a day to decide. Lancelot, although he was loathe to admit it, realizes that the Lion King is making the best out of a bad situation, deciding to side with her, along with Gawain, Agravain, Tristan, Gareth, and Mordred. They then kill their former comrades and form the Knights of the Lion King. He receives the Gift of "Ferocity" from the Lion King, due to vowing to ascertain the situation as a person, not martyring himself to justice.
The group sets out to the Holy Land, slaughtering any who side against them there and engaging the False Crusaders in battle. They easily defeat the Crusaders, except their leader, the Servant who claims to be Richard I. He manages to hold off the knights, possessing immense power. Finally, Gareth sacrifices herself by restraining their opponent using her own body, giving the Knights the opportunity to deal the final blow. Despite understanding Gareth's noble act of sacrifice, Lancelot is unable to move his body to attack, not wanting to once more do the deed. Instead, Gawain manages to deal the lethal strike, killing both Gareth and their opponent. The Lion King and her knights thus take control of the Holy Land, establishing the Holy City.[12]
Camelot: Sacred Round Table Realm[]
Lancelot continues the Holy Selection of Lion King, but unlike the other Knights of the Lion King, Lancelot is not completely loyal to the Lion King. He hides away the people that are not fit for the city, instead of killing them, as the others presume. When Chaldea arrives in the Singularity, Lancelot is away from the city, currently returning from a mission. The Hassan of the Cursed Arm mentions that he had killed the Hassan of the Quaking Pipe at some point.
Lancelot chases after the Chaldea group on the orders of the Lion King. Da Vinci stays behind, giving the group time to escape, while she seemingly sacrifices herself.[13] However, Lancelot instead saves her and takes her to his hideout.
Later on, Lancelot and Tristan lead an attack against the Western Village, with Lancelot cutting down Arash, though he fails to kill him. He is later shocked when the Lion King utilizes Rhongomyniad to destroy the village.[14] Later, when Lancelot and Tristan are being questioned about their mission by the Lion King and her knights, he questions why she used the Holy Spear, believing it to be an excessive measure. Lion King, however, explains that due to her Holy Selection being so close to completion, angering the Mountain Villages doesn't matter anymore, though Lancelot is unsatisfied with this answer. After hearing about the Chaldea group heading towards the Egyptian territory, Agravain blames Lancelot and declares him to be imprisoned, but Lancelot instead suggests chasing after the group. Lion King allows him to do so, with Lancelot heading away quickly.[15]
Lancelot and his forces manage to catch up with Chaldea, who are searching for the Atlas Institute. The Chaldea group, Ritsuka Fujimaru, Mash Kyrielight, Bedivere, Xuanzang Sanzang and Tawara Touta, attempt to fight Lancelot, but are overpowered by him. However, they manage to escape, falling into the Atlas through the ground. Later as they emerge, they once again face Lancelot. The group then informs Lancelot of the Lion King's true plan to store the people of the Holy City into the Holy Spear to "protect" them from the Human Order Incineration, kept as her ideal samples of humanity. Though Lancelot is shaken by this, he refuses to oppose the Lion King. However this causes Mash, influenced by her connection to Galahad, to become enraged by Lancelot's behavior and she manages to defeat him in battle, though Sanzang states that he had been fighting reluctantly. After his defeat Lancelot agrees to help the group, deciding to bring them to his hideout, where the group reunite with Da Vinci.[14]
Lancelot helps Chaldea in their struggle against the Lion King, accompanying on their quest to Ozymandias' territory and helping in formulating the strategy for the final battle against the Lion King's forces. He participates in the final battle, leading his knight forces alongside Chaldea against the forces of the Holy City. He battles against Agravain, who manages to defeat Lancelot, though he is grievously injured.[16]
Halloween Event: Halloween Comeback! Super Ultra ☆ Giant Pumpkin Village[]
Tristan and Lancelot serve as Cleopatra's knights. By her command, they expel Lancer Elizabeth and Caster Elizabeth from Castle Csjete.
They later report to Cleopatra that Chaldea has come like she predicted. Lancelot asks Cleopatra if they should take care of Chaldea now. Cleopatra answers she'll send her knights into town instead to keep the citizens from panicking. But she won't send Lancelot and Tristan there, knowing they'll only hit on the local girls. Lancelot tries to deny it but gets excited when Tristan mentions a broken-hearted girl at one of the taverns.
Lancelot reports that Nitocris has joined with Elizabeth to Cleopatra's shock. Cleopatra tries to think of a plan, but Tristan's compliments annoy her, so she tells him to jump out the window. Tristan does as told, using soundwaves to fly. Afterward, Cleopatra declares she is deploying "those girls" to the Lava Zone, ignoring Lancelot's concerns about them.
Tristan and Lancelot later confront Elizabeth's party in town. Lancelot, however, disguises him in black armor to presumably avoid ill attention from Mash. Tristan tries to ask him what's wrong, but Lancelot puts Tristan in a sleeper hold and tells him to shut up. Elizabeth's party then proceed to defeat the two knights. Though they lost, Tristan and Lancelot are glad to see that Elizabeth has matured after she announces Halloween can be celebrated again. They then try to quietly escape, but Ibaraki-douji hits them in the direction of the pyramid with her Noble Phantasm.
When Elizabeth's party arrives in the castle, Tristan asks Lancelot what he did to Mash to get such menacing looks from her. Lancelot answers he cannot remember and assumes it's only a misunderstand, so he's sure Mash will calm down. He and Tristan then guide the group to the throne room.
Final Singularity: Solomon[]
Lancelot is amongst the "Camelot" Singularity Servants to aid Chaldea against the Demon Gods Pillars.[17]
Avalon le Fay: Fae Round Table Domain[]
While Fujimaru and Mashu are ineffectively fighting against Demon Hound Barghest, Lancelot and Gawain are summoned in order to assist them. Thanks to Britain that it has both of their names inscribed, they are able to be summoned.
Other appearances[]
He made a cameo in Fate/Apocrypha anime along with the Knights of the Round Table in Kairi Sisigou's dream.[18]
He and the Knights of the Round Table appear briefly in Lord El-Melloi II Case Files when Gray deactivates the Restraints of the Round Table on Rhongomyniad.[19]
Abilities[]
Being a Knight of the Round Table, Lancelot is one of the greatest knights to ever live and a hero sung of in legends. As such, when summoned as a Servant, he boasts indisputable fame and strength.[20] In Lancelot's case, he was born with numerous abilities and aptitudes that took him beyond the realm of "high-spec" right into "completely overpowered".[4] "The Knight of the Lake" earned a huge reputation thanks to the great deeds he committed when he was alive, such as when he fought Gawain while empowered by the Sun for several hours until wounding and defeating him at nightfall.[9] Due to this, Lancelot is famed as the strongest of the Knights of the Round Table,[4] with a competency that surpasses even King Arthur.[1] However, Gawain is widely considered by many to be equal or superior to him.[9][21] As a Heroic Spirit, his most fitting and proper Class is Saber, as it encapsulates the noble knight he was in life, although he feels it is ironic for him to be a Saber as he doesn't consider himself a noble knight due to his perceived participation in the destruction of Britain, believing the Berserker class is most appropriate for himself.[2] In this form, he's not receiving the boost of Mad Enhancement, but in exchange, he can use some abilities he doesn't possess a Berserker, such as the ability Knight of the Lake, which allows him to add a + modifier to any desired stat with the exception of LCK.
Despite his armor, Lancelot is fairly adept at concealing his presence.[14]
Skills[]
Class Skills[]
- Magic Resistance (B Rank): Cancel spells with a chant below three verses. Even if targeted by greater magecraft and Greater Rituals, it is difficult for them to be affected.[1][2]
- Riding (B Rank): Most vehicles and animals can be handled with above average skill, even vehicles that did not exist in the time period one was alive in, for they are no exception. However, cannot ride the likes of Phantasmal Species such as Monstrous Beasts.[1][2]
Personal Skills[]
- Knight of the Lake (A Rank): He was raised from infancy by the Lady of the Lake. Due to that, he is constantly affected by her blessing. Using this skill, he is able to temporarily add a + to any parameter other than LCK (substantially doubling it)[1][2]
- Eternal Arms Mastery (A+ Rank): Mastership of combat arts has reached the point of being said to be unrivaled in one's era. By complete the merging of mind, body, and technique, it is possible to make use of full fighting skills even when under the influence of any sort of mental hindrance.[1][2]
- Knight of Owner (A+/A++ Rank): An ability Noble Phantasm that grants the attribute to everything he holds, resulting in them becoming so-called "Pseudo Noble Phantasms". Be it an iron pole or an aircraft fighter, it will be treated as a Rank D Noble Phantasm, even though it is considered a Pseudo Noble Phantasm, or Pseudo Phantasm for short.[1][2]
- Protection of the Spirits (A Rank): A blessing from Elementals; the capacity to increase one's Luck in dangerous situations. Activation is limited to battlefields, where it is possible to perform feats of arms.[1]
Noble Phantasms[]
Lancelot wields Arondight, a Divine Construct, and counterpart of Excalibur. When Lancelot uses this Noble Phantasm, all of his parameters are increased by one rank. Furthermore, due to the anecdote him killing a dragon, it deals additional damage against Heroic Spirits with Dragon attributes.[1] Despite the great power granted by this holy sword, Lancelot is unable to match Agravain boosted by a drug similar to Mad Enhancement and is ultimately defeated by him, although not without mortally wounding his foe in the process.[16]
Lancelot can also release a powerful attack with this sword named Arondight Overload. Originally a Noble Phantasm used against an Army, Lancelot instead chooses to use it as a concentrated slash of mana. Due to the usage method being different from its original, it puts an intense burden on Lancelot's body.[1] When used against Arash in a sneak attack, it is able to gravely injure him and send him down to the bottom of the valley they were on, however, thanks to Arash's Robust Health, the attack wasn't a decisive blow as he had enough energy left to fire his Noble Phantasm.[14]
Development[]
Creation and Conception[]
Lancelot was illustrated by Shima Drill in Fate/Grand Order.[1][2] His scenario writers are Yuuichirou Higashide and Kinoko Nasu in Fate/Grand Order.[1]
Comment from Illustrator[]
"It came up in previous discussions where the white armor version of Zero Lancelot takes off his helmet and shows us his long hair during second ascension; when he gets to that form I wanted to draw a rough design, but then I was told to do him "with a feeling of a yankee who repents and cut off his hair". So I had the various design, his armor, and his hair taken out, and the result settled down to his current form. Please stay as a father who will never raise his head to his daughter."

Level 3 Bond
For him to surrender himself to his feelings towards Queen Guinevere was an inevitable outcome for his chivalry.

[] Fate/Zero material - Encyclopedia: Sir Lancelot [Servant], p.096-097 Sir Lancelot [Servant]
The "Knight of the Lake", famed as the strongest of the Knights of the Round Table.
His illicit love affair with Queen Guinevere drove Camelot down the road to ruin, tarnishing his legacy in the legends of King Arthur.
As he often fell into madness due to troubles involving Guinevere, he has a particular compatibility with the Berserker class. In a lot of ways, he's just a guy who pushed himself too hard.
He was born with numerous abilities and aptitudes that take him beyond the realm of "high-spec" right into "completely overpowered", and none of them were any help at all in solving his problems. But while I could sort of sympathize with him, at the same time I couldn't help but feel a little bit of black joy that so many terrible things happened to such a handsome and talented person. But then the girls in class just looked at me in disdain, like, "Eww, so jealous, gross!" while screaming in shrill voices about how cool Lance-sama is, and… ahem. Sorry, I'm getting off track here.
Anyway, if he and King Arthur had just been able to have an all-out brawl to satisfaction on a sandy beach under the evening sun, so many tragedies might have been avoided. Well, there's no guarantee, of course, but the fact remains that whatever else happened that was the one thing that Lancelot's nature never let him do. He even tried going insane to change that part about himself, but just ended up causing the way-too-serious Artoria to misunderstand a lot of things instead. Really, it makes me wonder if his origin is "being a nuisance" or something.サー・ランスロット【サーヴアント】
円卓の騎士の中でも最強と謳われた『湖の騎士』
王妃ギネヴィアとの不倫の恋がキャメロットを破滅にまで導いた、まさしくアーサー王伝説の負の象徴たる人物。
ギネヴィアを巡る葛藤で狂気に陥ったことも多々あり、バーサーカーのクラスとはそれなりに相性が良い。色々な意味で無理して頑張りすぎた人。
数々の才能と素質においてハイスペックどころか厨スペックを生まれ持っておきながら、その全てが彼の葛藤を打破する上で何の役にも立たなかったというのは、同情の念を抱きつつも「できるイケメンのくせしてナニ勝ち組に背ェ向けて悲劇ぶってんだコラ舐めてんのか?」とドス黒い感情を禁じ得ない。だがそんな否モテ思考をクラスの女子たちは「嫌だわ~嫉妬だわ~キモッ!」と白眼視しつつ「きゃーランス様カッコイイ!」と黄色い声を張り上げるのであった。……ごめん話が大きく逸れた。
いっそアーサー王とは夕陽の砂浜で気が済むまで殴り合いでもしていれば数々の悲劇が回避できた……かどうかは定かでないが、ランスロットの性格でほどう転んでもそんなこと出来なかったことだけは事実。そんな自分を変えたいと一念発起で狂化してみたはいいものの、今度は逆に生真面目すぎるアルトリアに余計な誤解をさせてしまう結果となったわけで、さしずめランスロットの持つ起源は『傍迷惑』とでもいったところだろうか。 - ↑

Comment
Berserker 3DCG Supervisor Masato Takizawa
With Berserker's movements, I tweaked things like warping the parts and altering the scale so that it wouldn't look like stiff CG animation. Although there were a ton of difficult areas over the course of the series, I believe that all the hard work really can be seen on the screen and made for better visuals. I think that shows like this that are so beloved by the audience comes around once in a blue moon, so it's a real honor to have given the opportunity to take part in it.
Lancelot
A knight of the Round Table who served Arthur (Artoria). He falls in love with King Arthur's wife, Guinevere, and this dishonor brings about the fall of Britain. Also, in the anime, he is drawn with keyframe animation after his face is revealed. Because his complex armor was bring drawn by hand, it involved huge amounts of time and effort. - ↑
[] Fate/Zero material - Encyclopedia: Diarmuid Ua Duibhne [Servant], p.100 Diarmuid Ua Duibhne [Servant]
The Lancer class Servant of the Fourth Holy Grail War, summoned by Kayneth El-Melloi Archibald. A hero of the Fianna, spoken of in Irish mythology. The story of his tragic love affair with Grainne would later become the model for the story of Lancelot and Guinevere. It's no wonder that the Berserker of the Fourth Holy Grail War has such bad compatibility with him!
In battle, he wields two Noble Phantasms: the Crimson Rose of Exorcism (Gae Dearg) which temporarily nullifies the effects of magical energy, and the Yellow Rose of Mortality (Gae Buidhe) which inflicts cursed wounds that cannot be healed by any means.
His basic parameters are not particularly high, but he excels at using battle tactics designed to trip up enemies stronger than himself. In particular, he is the natural enemy of those Heroic Spirits which rely on the powers of their Noble Phantasms to fight. Depending on his strategy, it's even possible that he could have won the entire Fourth Holy Grail War (or suffer a humiliating defeat at the hands of Assassin).
Out of all the Servants in the fourth war, he had the second-worst compatibility with his Master. Though, if his very first opponent had been anybody besides Saber, he might have been able to fight in a way more in line with his Master's expectations. For you see, it was Saber's serene beauty and grace which kindled the flames of chivalry within his heart. Also, while he was summoned as a Lancer this time, and therefore carried the twin demonic spears Gae Dearg and Gae Buidhe, his legends also speak of a pair of demonic swords: Moralltach and Beagalltach. So, there was actually a decent chance he could have been summoned as a Saber. Or rather, that's probably what Kayneth was hoping for…ディルムッド・オディナ【サーヴアント】
第4次聖杯戦争におけるランサーのサーヴァント。ケイネス・エルメロイ・アーチボルトに召喚され契約する。ケルト神話に語り継がれるフィオナ騎士団の英雄。彼とブラニア姫との悲恋の物語は、後のランスロットとギネヴィアの物語のモデルになったともされている。そりゃ~4thパーサーカーが苦手とするのも無理はない。
魔力の効果を瞬間的に無効化する破魔の紅薔薇(ゲイ・ジャルグ)、いかなる手段でも回復不可能な呪いの傷を負わせる必滅の黄薔薇(ゲイ・ボウ)という二倍の宝具を操る。
基本能力はさほど高くはないが、優位に立った敵の足許を掬う戦術に長けたサーヴァント。とりわけ宝具能力を頼みとする英霊にとっては天敵とも言える。戦略の立て方次第では、確実に第四次聖杯戦争を征していた(もしくはアサシン相手にあっさり不覚をとっていた)と思われる。
第四次でマスターに恵まれなかったサーヴァント第二位。もっとも最初に戦ったのがセイバーでなければ、まだしも多少は従容にマスターの意向を汲んだ戦い方をしていたかもしれない。彼の胸に眠っていた騎士道精神に火を点けてしまったのは、セイバーのあまりに清澄すぎる器量であったのだ。
今回、ランサーのクラスを得たディルムッドは、魔槍ゲイ・ジャルグとゲイ・ボウを携える槍兵として具現化したが、彼の伝承にはモラルタ、ベガルタという2本の魔剣も語り継がれており、セイバーのクラスで召喚される可能性も充分にあった。むしろケイネスはそちらを期待していたのかもしれない。 - ↑ 7.0 7.1 7.2 7.3 7.4 Garden of Avalon - Chapter 3: The declining sun - Story of knights translation, p.072-079

Arthur, said to be the mightiest of all the kings to rule Britain, is believed to have ruled sometime in the fifth or sixth century.

One of the major knights mentioned in the Arthurian legends and often thought to be King Arthur's nephew.
A knight said to be equal of Sir Lancelot, Gawain was frequently at odds with Lancelot due to his slaying of both of Gawain's brothers. Although pure of heart and loyal beyond question, it was Gawain's all-consuming hatred that not only led to him being stripped of his knighthood, but also led to the downfall of King Arthur himself.
Although his hostility inevitably led to his death at the hands of Sir Lancelot, he realized that it was his own lack of virtue that led to Sir Lancelot's betrayal and the defeat of King Arthur at the battle of Camlann Hill.
Up until his death, Sir Gawain was considered a paragon of knighthood; chivalrous, loyal, and gallant. Even as King Arthur became a legend, Gawain was content to stay in the background, doing his duty regardless of whether his efforts were acknowledged or not. In reward for his gallantry and loyalty to Arthur, as well as his eventual forgiveness of Sir Lancelot, Gawain was resurrected as a Legendary Soul and, freed from the sins of the past, has once again reclaimed his role as the "Knight of the Sun."
02 - "The White Knight of the Round Table."
The White Knight of the Round Table.
Widely considered to be equal of King Arthur by many and the wielder of the lesser-known holy sword Galatine, Sir Gawain was fiercely loyal to the king, or more accurately, the King's station. Unlike Sir Bedivere, a trusted friend of Arthur's who wished only that he would find peace and contentment, Gawain's only concern was that Arthur maintain the throne of Britain.
If King Arthur was seen as the personification of the moon, then Sir Gawain was the harbinger of the sun. He was frequently compared with Arthur, although Gawain himself ignored these comparisons and devoted himself to serving his king to the best of his abilities. Though loyal to the end, his irrational hatred of Sir Lancelot proved to be his and Arthur's undoing.
Though Arthur eventually forgave his wayward knight's transgressions, Sir Gawain could not find it within himself to do the same until the very last moments of his life and only after being stripped of his knighthood, excommunicated from the church, and causing the downfall of his sovereign king.
With his dying breath, he swore that if he was ever given a second chance at life, he'd support his king, no matter what. Upon being reincarnated as a Servant, Gawain devotes himself completely to the goals of his Master and by doing so hopes to gain absolution for the sins of the past.01 - 人物背景
「アーサー王伝説」に登場する円卓の騎士の一人。
アーサー王の甥でもある。
アーサー王の片腕と称されたランスロット卿に並ぶ騎士だったが、兄弟をランスロットに殺された事をどうしても忘れられず、彼とは相容れなかった。
高潔な人格、理想の若武者であったが故に、肉親への上も人一倍だったのだろう。
しかし、その怨恨がガウェイン卿の騎士としての格を落とすばかりか、最後には王の没落にまで繋がってしまった。
ガウェイン卿はアーサー王最後の戦いであるカムランの丘で、ランスロット卿に受けた古傷を敵に打たれ死亡したとされる。
その死の淵で、自らの怨恨が王の破滅を招いたのだと悔い、ランスロット卿への私怨も、彼の不忠さえも、自らの不徳からと受け入れた。
そも、ガウェイン卿はランスロット卿への憎しみさえなければ完全な騎士である。
相手を軽んじる事も侮辱する事もなく、相手が力量不足であってもその戦意、覚悟をくみ取り、礼節をもって相対した。
王の前では影に徹し、ひとたび号令が下れば颯爽と戦場に赴き、涼やかな笑顔で勝利する―――まさに理想の騎士と言える。
その在り方は、こうして英霊になる事で蘇った。
多くの迷いから解き放たれたガウェイン卿は文字通り“太陽の騎士”として、本来の姿を取り戻したのである。
02 - 円卓の白騎士
円卓の騎士。
アーサー王の影武者とも言われた、もう一人の聖剣の使い手である。
しかし、アーサー王を妄信的に崇拝しているが故、王の苦悩を知ることはなかった。
アーサー王の最期を看取ったヴェデヴィエールもガウェイン卿と同じ忠節の騎士だが、ヴェデヴィエールは王の人間としての幸福を心の底で願い、ガウェイン卿は王の王としての活躍を願ったのだろう。
◆
アーサー王が夜、月の象徴であるのに対し、ガウェイン卿は昼、太陽を背負っている。
その姿も見目麗しい事もあり、王城キャメロットではアーサー王の影武者、ないし王が倒れた後の代理候補の一人であった。
そんな周囲からの評価も意に介さず、ガウェイン卿はあくまでアーサー王の右腕であり続けた。
そんな彼の最大の後悔はランスロット卿との諍いである。
「ランスロット卿に兄弟を殺されたばかりか、あの黒騎士は王さえ裏切った。王の妻を拐かしたのだ。許せるはずがあろうか」
だが、最終的にアーサー王はランスロット卿を許す。
全ては余が悪かったと。
だが、ガウェイン卿はランスロット卿の裏切りを許せず、最後まで彼と敵対してしまった。
破門されながらもカムランの丘にはせ参じようとするランスロット卿をガウェイン卿は拒み続け、結果的に、彼は王を戦死させ、自らも戦死してしまう。
その結果から、英霊としてのガウェインは“王の補佐に徹する”事を絶対の使命として捉えているようだ。
カムランの丘で自戒するアーサー王のように、ガウェイン卿も死の淵で叫んだのだ。
自身の激情が王を死に誘った。
「―――もし次があるのなら。
まだ挽回する機会が、二度目の生があるのなら、今度こそ、自らの全てを王に捧げるよう―――」
◆
その誓いを胸にサーヴァント化した彼は、生前の悔い、過ちを正すため、より完成された「騎士」として主人に仕えた。
