Name: Bors
Titles: the Younger; the Good; the Chaste; the Boring; Achiever of the Grail
Appearance: Bors is a tall, strapping knight, whose fine features are a little marred by a scar across their left cheek and eye. Their right eye is its original blue, but their left is a shimmering pearl.
Biography: Bors is the older child of King Bors the Elder, an ally of Arthur's in his early wars to unify Britain, and is thus a cousin of Lancelot. Bors the Elder's kingdom was subsequently attacked by King Claudas the Frank. Arthur promised reinforcements but they did not arrive in time, leaving Bors the Elder to fight with his household alone. He was killed by Claudas, who took Bors and their younger brother Leonel hostage, cutting Bors down the face with his sword in the process. The two children eventually escaped to join Lancelot with the Lady of the Lake, who healed Bors' wound and replaced their ruined eye with an exquisite pearl in the process.
Notable Feats: Along with Galahad and Percival, achieved the Grail.
Married Elaine - no, not that one - no, not that one either, the other one - no no, not that one - *sigh* look, it's not important, just know that Bors loves her beyond life itself, and can get a little funny about their relationship, okay?
Equipment: Bors wields Curtana, the Sword of Mercy. Its edge is as keen as any other, but its tip is rounded. A puissant weapon when wielded in righteous anger, it also has the ability to immobilise Bors' opponents, preventing them from causing further harm to innocents or themselves.
Abilities: Eye of Purity - Bors' left eye, a gift from the Lady of the Lake, sees the world as it is. It penetrates illusion and deception, helping Bors to decide the right course of action under all circumstances. It has also, on occasion, granted Bors strange and confusing visions of the far future, nothing that would be of any practical use, but both comforting and disturbing at times.
WIP:
Relationships:
Lancelot - Bors' cousin and training partner under the tutelage of the Lady of the Lake. Bors loves him deeply, and is always concerned about his recklessness. For his part, Lancelot is both touched by and mildly condescending about said concern.
Kay - Their paths have not crossed overmuch, but he is known to be a respectable and valorous knight.
Gawain - A friend and a trusted ally.
Gareth - Strikes Bors as oddly... flighty, for such a talented knight. She also cannot hide her secret from Bors' Eye of Purity....
Lamorak - An arrogant fool, more trouble than he's worth unless pointed in the right direction and made to charge the foe.
Mordred - This one bears watching.
Myrdinn - The Lady of the Lake has whispered some words of wisdom in Bors' ears, secrets she has not shared even with Lancelot, and therefore Bors knows a little more about the king's counsellor than any suspect....
Vortigern - Bors sees through his honeyed words, and would even without magickal help. Does no-one else perceive his perfidy?
First Encounter with Arthur: Arthur was an ally of King Bors the Elder, who helped him put down the rebellions of the kings Lot, Urien and Caradoc. As the king's oldest child, and of an age to be a page, Bors the Younger joined him on campaign, and served wine to a thirsty Arthur after a victorious battle. While everyone else was praising Arthur's valour and wisdom, the little page noticed that the great king seemed quiet, even sad. Bors' inquisitive gaze caught Arthur's eye, and Arthur gave a tired smile - one that captured Bors' heart, and broke it at the same time.
