Playing Galahad

Virtuous, noble, caring, moral, and judgmental. Galahad

is the purest of the Knights of the Round Table, perhaps
not the best in combat, or the most charismatic or
powerful, yet it is Galahad who receives the Holy Grail,
Galahad alone who is worthy of its greatness.

The two stat choices for Galahad emphasize the

different internal struggles he experiences, in one he is
attractive and plagued by the mysterious (Hot 2 & Dark
1), while the other he is aggressive and alluring (Volatile
2 & Hot 1). Galahad wears his heart on his sleeve, one
he hopes to keep virtuous, but sometimes life has other
ideas, with a low Cold stat Galahad is easily tempted.

In the Legends, Galahad is the most virtuous knight. He

is the one to Find the Holy Grail, the artifact that the
Knights spend much of their time seeking, said to hold
great power, including the ability to heal all woulds
and ailments. Galahad alone was shown to be worthy
of this gift. Despite the conflicts within the Knights,
Galahad remains by Arthur’s side, steadfast and true
until the end.

Galahad
You are a great knight, pure and virtuous, bound for glory. You have held the
Holy Grail in your hands, bestowed with the greatest power that has been
sought by so many.
With so much at stake you must remain the harshest judge of your own
morals, you must guide others on the path of goodness that leads to true
glory. You must not fail or falter.
