Morholt

Name: Sir Morholt

Class: Lancer

Gender: Male

Appearance: https://imgur.com/a/ttrcupY

Alignment: Lawful Neutral

Personality: Basically Cu Chulainn really tbh.

History: “Do not remember me as a mercenary.”

“Do not remember me as a coward.”

“Remember me instead as one who upheld his duty as a younger brother and a knight.”

A “cream of the crop” Heroic Spirit as with the other Knights of the Round Table, Sir Morholt is often considered the group’s strongest member in the interim between Balin’s death and Lancelot’s official induction. An Irish knight from one of the early Round Table rosters; first encountered by Gawain and Ywain, he joins the two on their adventures after defeating them both. They encounter fairies and giants and beautiful maidens, cementing the ideal of the Arthurian order as a magical group in both in the literal and metaphorical sense in the young foreign knight’s mind. More than anything else, Morholt wished to be his king’s pride.

Unfortunately, Morholt was blind to his king’s ambivalence to human emotion. It took his replacement at the Table, Tristan, to make this known to Arthur. Forced to do battle with his comrades at the behest of his homeland, Morholt sees this as nothing but a knight’s duty; an expected eventuality of a wandering foreigner. His battle with Tristan was fierce and prolonged, resulting in the deaths of both knights.

Morholt’s greatest fear and regret is to be a footnote, a phenomenon that exists solely to continue someone else’s narrative. He wishes to duel Tristan again, this time without the matter of Iseult influencing their actions.

He will demand to be addressed by his full title of Sir Morholt unless on the most personal of interactions, as he considers his knighthood the highlight of his life. He’s proud to be one of the only spearmen among Arthur’s knights.

Class Skills
Magic Resistance - C
Cancel spells with a chant below two verses. Cannot defend against magecraft on the level of High-Thaumaturgy and Greater Rituals. Lancer carries a boon from the fairy Ete, improving his Magic Resistance.

Personal Skills
Numeral of the Trinity - EX
The numeral of the Trinity is a condition unique to Lancer’s existence. Only during the three hours between 6 PM and dusk and the three hours between dawn and 9 PM, Lancer’s power increases threefold. This was related to the ancient belief that the numeral '3' was the sacred number of the Celtic gods.

A singularity of raw power comparable to Sir Gawain, it is unknown why these two knights share such similar abilities. Lancer’s Numeral is named after the Celtic Trinity to tie more closely to the Irish gods of his homeland. Compared to King Arthur’s providence from the moon and Sir Gawain’s providence from the sun, Lancer is the knight who receives grace from twilight, earning his name “The Knight of the Twilight”, or “The Knight of the Moonless Night”.

Battle Continuation - A+
Can continue fighting even with wounds that place them on the verge of death. An ability representing the strong will to stay alive on the battlefield, as well as natural resilience the blood of giants provided Lancer. During his final confrontation with Tristan, the bow-wielding knight was able to plant his sword deep into Lancer’s skull, piercing his brain all the way through. Despite this, the most fatal of instant deaths, Lancer was able to ultimately kill Tristan with a stab to the heart. Lancer clung to life long enough to make the long journey back to Ireland to be healed, but by then it was too late: Tristan’s sword could not be removed without guaranteeing Lancer’s death.

Eye of the Mind (True) - A
Capable of calm analysis of the abilities of the opponent as well as the battle conditions even when in danger and deduce an appropriate course of action after considering all possibilities to escape from a predicament. A weapon wielded by a mortal man, yet one that was able to stave off attacks from both a Sir Gawain under the influence of the midday sun and Sir Ywain at the same time. Lancer was able to hold his own long enough for Gawain’s boon to diminish and Lancer’s own to activate, defeating the two knights afterward with ease. Further refined through Lancer’s destruction of the rampaging giant Taulard.

Protection from Arrows - C
He can deal with projectiles that do not depend on magecraft by tracking them down with his eyes. Rather, he doesn’t track the projectiles themselves as much as he anticipates the projectile’s trajectory from the displacement of air. By combining this skill with his Eye of the Mind, Lancer was able to force an archer as gifted as Tristan to switch to melee tactics.

Noble Phantasm
Gae Buaifnech: 'Virulent Spear, Bring Destruction to Her Sadness' - C+
Anti-Unit Noble Phantasm
It began as Lugh’s terrible spear, Areadbhar.
It was then passed down to Celtchar mac Uthechar, becoming the Luin.
Years late, it came into the possession of Cormac mac Airt, then known as Crimall.
In the hands of Lancer it is known by the rather awkwardly precise title of Gae Buaifnech.

A demonic spear of the gods, once. Now it is in such a weakened state only a scant portion of the power it once held is able to manifest. Gae Buaifnech is not treated as a proper True Name, functioning instead as a placeholder as it literally means “poisoned spear”. The True Name was never knowledge Lancer was privy to, therefore releasing the spear into an active state is a physical impossibility.

A weapon provided to Lancer by his king, Anguish. The same Anguish rumored to have blinded the great king Cormac and made off with Crimall, hundreds of years prior. It was given to Lancer as a means of defeating King Mark’s champion, as Mark’s refusal to pay Anguish the money owed to him culminated in an outright war between the two. Lancer, the “Cu Chulainn of Munster” at the time, and the brother of Anguish’s wife Iseult, was a natural choice.

The boiling blood that kept the demon spear asleep has long since cooled, crystallizing into a grotesque spearhead of frozen mana. However, high-intensity usage of the spear will cause the mana to melt slightly, giving off a “bleeding” effect. An extremely utilitarian Noble Phantasm, Gae Buaifnech is not a weapon that attacks the Spirit Core through physical damage, but rather inflicts a fatal poison upon open wounds that seep into the Spirit core aiming to weaken the Servant with every wound, the poison is nigh impossible to cure is the very poison that left the massive scar wound upon Sir Tristain, it could be described as 'A poison that will ensure death in time' meaning only a high luck chance may guarantee survival of the poison or just being immune to it, of course the poison must touch flesh to work.
