One of the knights in the Vulgate Mort Artu who joined Agravain’s plan to capture Lancelot and Guinevere in flagrante in Guinevere’s chambers. He harbored an unexplained hate for Lancelot. He was the first to be killed by Lancelot outside Guinevere’s room.

In Malory, Agravain himself takes this distinction. Gawain once assisted a friend of Tanaguin’s in the Castle of the Mills tournament.
