Aupatris


Father of Lord Caradoc of the Dolorous Tower.

An evil giant, Aupatris abducted twelve maidens from the Castle Tarquin annually. Gawain’s brother Gaheris sought to end the custom, and he killed the giant. The people of Taraquin erected a statue to commemorate the victory, but it was destroyed by Mordred’s sons.
