Percivale of Wales is the knight most closely linked to the Quest for the Holy Grail. First portrayed as a naïve youth raised in the wild, he grows into a figure of faith and perseverance, achieving the vision of the Grail alongside Galahad and Bors.
Sir Marrok, the Werewolf Knight, is remembered for a haunting legend of betrayal and transformation—where, despite living as a wolf, his loyalty and noble spirit never faded.
