Character details

One of the Knights of the Round Table from the Legend of King Arthur.

He is one of the oldest and most loyal knights serving under the King, staying with her until the very end.

He wields the holy sword of the sun, said to be the sister sword of Excalibur.

And thanks to the blessings of a saint, he won fame as a peerless knight who was unmatched under the light of sun.

Profile 1

Height/Weight: 180cm, 78kg

Origin: Legend of King Arthur

Region: Britain

Alignment: Lawful-Good

Sub-Attribute: Earth

Gender: Male

No matter what the job is, he handles it earnestly.

Even if it was something minor like collecting debts.

Profile 2

『Excalibur Galatine』

Rank: A+

NP Type: Anti-Army

The Revolving Sword of Victory.

The sword of the sun that has an artificial sun stored in its hilt.

Similar to the king's sacred sword Excalibur, this sister sword was also brought by the fairy "Lady of the Lake."

While the king and her sword receive the divine protection of the moon, Gawain and this sword receive the grace of the sun.

Profile 3

A knight in shining armor. A perfect gentleman with a perfect smile.

Despite his serious character, he has no gloomy aspects and treats everyone with honesty and sincerity.

He gets enraged from time to time but since he never holds any negative emotion such as hatred or jealousy, his attitude is refreshing no matter which battlefield he is on.

According to other knights of the Round Table, "it's almost a talent to be as likeable as him."

Profile 4

Because of his good heart and natural airheadedness, people could never bring themselves to envy him despite his being blessed with both unparalleled talents and a good family.

He's a loyal knight, and his loyalty to the king is strong as iron.

To Gawain, his only wish is to become a sword for the king, to serve for the king.

For those who does not know his true nature, they might mistaken his loyalty as blind faith.

Profile 5

Numeral of the Saint: EX

Sir Gawain's special ability.

In the 3 hours between 9 AM and noon, and in the 3 hours from 3 PM until dusk, his strength triples.

The skill is the manifestation of "3", a Celtic holy number.

Additional profile

He may have had many brothers at the Round Table, but it was said that he was especially close with his younger sister Gareth.

After Lancelot mercilessly killed Gareth, Gawain's rage eventually led to King Arthur's demise, which became Gawain's greatest regret.

Gawain was never close to his other relatives among the Knights of the Round Table. He was separated from Agravain who was sent to live with Morgan when they were young, and had never properly been introduced to his half-sibling Mordred by the time they came to blows in their final battle.

Bond Level 1
Seeing this room proves it to me. You're an honest individual with nothing to hide. I'm quite confident that I will be of great service to you.
Bond Level 2
I had siblings, you know. And they were outstanding knights. Unfortunately, we were forced to part ways abruptly.
Bond Level 3
I believe that I've grown accustomed to fighting formidable foes. Britain has faced threats from both inside and out, after all.
Bond Level 4
Once when I was in Britain... I fought an extremely tough opponent named the Green Knight. He was a pitiable man, turned into a monster by Morgan's magic. It was a battle meant to test my mettle.
Bond Level 5
I was unsuccessful in my trial against the Green Knight... But King Arthur praised me anyway. He called me the most honorable knight. I will never forget that moment, not for as long as I live.
Conversation 1
Then let's be off. I only ask that we avoid traveling at night!
Conversation 2
I shall serve under you as a knight. Just as I once offered my sword to other masters.
Conversation 3
I will be of service to you. Yes, that's an oath I already made. And I will never break that oath... Ever.
Likes
What do I value, you ask? Even now... I still have not forgotten how I offered up my sword to the King of Knights as a pledge of my allegiance.
Dislikes
What do I try to avoid, you ask? I don't think it's worth discussing. If I have to name one, I'd say... maybe older wom... uh... sorry, end of discussion.
About the Holy Grail
The Holy Grail? I was once unsuccessful in a quest to obtain it. Only one of the Knights of the Round Table was ever able to get to the Grail…
Conversation 4
I feel the presence of a king. No, it couldn't be... Could it?
Conversation 5
There is no mistaking it. This overwhelming feeling of nostalgia. My proud Knights of the Round Table. Except for you, Bors. Take a seat over there. I must properly educate you on some matters.
Conversation 6
...Mordred. How did that traitor become a Heroic Spirit? ...No, I can't allow myself to hold a grudge. Whether good or evil, we must work together now...
Conversation 7
Sir Lancelot. I understand your grief. Neither of us were able to save our king, after all. The truth is... It was immature of me not to forgive you.
Conversation 8
Ah, even Sir Bedivere's here! He may be modest, claiming that he's "a Knight of the Round Table in name alone." But that is far from the truth. He may seem gentle, but whenever he tries to stop Sir Tristan from his follies, his calm and sometimes harsh dealings send a chill down everyone's spine. The more quiet the knight, the more terrifying his anger.
Conversation 9
Mhm. You must think Sir Tristan is some free-spirited poet, don't you, Master? And yes, you are correct. (Smiles) ......... My apologies. I seemed to have caused an uncomfortable silence. While Tristan may not say it out loud, he takes his art the most seriously of anyone at the Round Table. No matter what the situation, he will read even the wind into a poem in every waking moment. In other words, every waking moment is an opportunity to undergo harsh training for him.
Conversation 10
Gareth is my younger sister. If she insists on fighting as a knight, then I have no authority to stop her. That is as true now as it was then.
Conversation 11
No matter how great a king is, they still require aides or mages. This person was a mentor and a confidant to our king. I won't say anything else about that. Then again... If you have some sort of plan to teach Merlin a lesson, I would appreciate it if you would invite me. (Smiles)
Conversation 12
According to a Servant named BB, I apparently have some sort of connection with this Alter Ego Servant. I'm not sure of the details, but I do know that Lip is a hardworking and sincere lady. Yet she seems to be a bit shy, so it's probably best for you to be supportive of her.
Conversation 13
Barghest, the mythical dog from Irish folklore. Her armor seems to resemble mine... Is she a fan of mine? She really does have an impressive build. If only Gareth could grow to be even half of Barghest's size...
Conversation 14
Sir Percival. The proud protector. He was the one the Knights of the Round Table trusted most. Even I felt at ease when I was around him, and I even confided in him. ...Ah, that brings back memories. Come to think of it, it must have been the golden age of the Round Table when he was well and active.
During an Event
I understand that we're about to go to war. An event, I believe it was called?
Birthday
I wish you many blessings on your birthday... I hope today is a pleasant one.

About Spiritron Dress Noble Son of Summer
I might have some reservations in leaving my responsibilities as a knight, but that is besides the point. I shall enjoy the land of everlasting summer while appreciating what it offers. I would hate for others to think that all knights from Orkney are square, after all. Hm? That was never a concern as those two were so lively? ...Oh yes, Mordred and Gareth were already here too...
