  • The man who would become the Grail Knight was estimated by Indiana Jones to have been born around 1066. In the late eleventh century, he and his two brothers (Richard and a third sibling) became Knights of the First Crusade. During their journeys in the Holy Land, they discovered the Holy Grail and protected it at the Temple of the Sun in the Canyon of the Crescent Moon for 150 years, using the Grail's power to extend their natural lifespans. Chosen to remain as the Grail's sole guardian because he was the bravest and most worthy, his two brothers traveled back to Europe, leaving behind two markers leading to the Grail's location. The Knight lived in a side chamber off of the inner sanctuary of the Temple of the Sun, and had a book to read by firelight. Though drinking from the Grail had extended his life beyond normal mortals, the centuries that passed had sapped his strength. When Indiana Jones entered the inner sanctuary in 1938, the Grail Knight attempted to fight him, but quickly toppled over from the weight of his own sword. Gracious in defeat and sensing Jones as some sort of curiously dressed knight, the Grail's guardian tried to pass on his sword and role of protector to Jones but was interrupted by the arrival of Walter Donovan and Elsa Schneider. Donovan demanded that the Knight reveal which was the true Holy Grail, but the Knight refused to do so, warning that they must choose on their own as a final test. Donovan allowed Schneider to choose for him, and she selected for him a false one. After Donovan drank from it and rapidly aged and disintegrated into dust, the Knight remarked that Donovan had chosen poorly. Jones subsequently found the correct one, and after drinking from it without ill effect, the Knight informed Jones that he had indeed chosen wisely. However, he then warned Jones and Schneider that the price of the Grail's miraculous effects was that it could not be taken beyond the Great Seal on the floor of the Temple's front chamber. The Knight was last seen by the Joneses waving goodbye and awaiting the collapse of the Temple of the Sun after Schneider crossed the Great Seal with the Holy Grail.

  • The Grail Knights are the ultimate Human warrior, a Knight who is the total embodiment of chivalry and justice, and the holy guardians of the mystical Goddess, the Lady of the Lake. Amongst the best Knights in all the lands of the Old World, these holy warriors are a figure that all Kings of Bretonnia are required to become should he wish to rule his Kingdom. To become a Grail Knight you must prove yourself worthy by enacting magnificent deeds and drink from a holy chalice that is blessed by the Lady of the Lake. To do this, a Knight of the Realm must take on a Grail Quest and thus become a Questing Knight. Questing Knights travel the world, much like the Knights Errant, to ferret out injustice and defeat enemies to gain the Lady's attention. Only when a Questing Knight has proved his valor and purity beyond all doubt does the Lady of the Lake appear to him in a vision, rewarding him not only with the sight of the Grail, but also permitting him to drink from it.[1b] Very few are allowed to drink from the Grail, the holiest of Bretonnian artifacts, and only those knights of unblemished purity survive a taste of the blessed waters from the chalice. Those who drink from the mystical chalice are changed forever, granted lifespans many times that of normal men, as well as other, more stranger gifts. Their dedication to the ideals of chivalry becomes absolute, and most shine with a Fay light. This light fades over a few days after the knight drinks from the grail, but it may brighten once more when he is fighting particularly bravely for the Lady of the Lake. From that moment on the knight is irrevocably committed to the service of the Lady and the Grail, a bond that can only be broken by death.[1b] Each Grail Knight takes over the duties of guarding the holy places of the Lady. These are often simple places an abandoned chapel, a lake, or a woodland grove but all are sacred to the Grail Knights. Should a corrupted creature set foot within one of these places they will face the righthous fury of its defender, for the Grail Knight will never flee from his defence of the Lady's land. A Grail Knight will only leave his sanctum in dire need, throwing out the luxuries of a noble life for a lifetime of service. Although some dukes will formally renounce their titles upon completing their quest, to better protect the sacred places, many often decide that they can best guard these places by defending the whole land and so retain their title and other responsibilities.[1b] When such a knight journeys through a village or town, desperate crowds will surround him as the common people fight to touch the champion of the Lady and thus share in her blessing. Grail Knights command respect and awe from all listeners, lowly peasants and mighty dukes alike. It is indeed a bold or foolhardy individual who will speak against a Grail Knight, for their wrath is fearsome and terrible, and their words are those of the Lady. Even within the most remote and isolated village in the realm the people tell the tales of these paragons of earthly virtue, and of their glorious deeds in the Lady's name. To the commoners of Bretonnia, Grail Knights form a pantheon of living deities, their names spoken as a reverent mantra throughout the land, and are often worshipped in their own right. They are tireless, and know neither fear, hardship nor despair, their words and deeds immortalised forever. They are no longer mere mortal warriors - they are living saints, stalwart and dire champions in the face of dire evil.[1b]
