HistoryEdit

Black Knight Vol 1 1.jpg
DJ MRCAdded by DJ MRC

Sir Percy of Scandia was a member of the court of King Arthur in the 6th Century C.E. Sir Percy's father was an ally of King Arthur when Arthur was a youth. Sir Percy's father eventually moved his wife and infant son away from Camelot to Scandia and following the advice of Merlin schooled Sir Percy in combat and the knightly forms. When Sir Percy's parents died Merlin summoned Sir Percy to Camelot, where Sir Percy, acting willingly as Merlin's agent, publicly playing the fop. Privately, however, he used the identity of the Black Knight (and the enchanted Ebony Blade, a gift to Sir Percy from Merlin) to foil the plots of Mordred and to act against the enemies of King Arthur, most notably the sorceress Morgan le Fay. Eventually, after Sir Percy had married and raised children, the truth of Sir Lancelot's affair with Guinevere became known, and Camelot was wracked by civil war. Sir Percy attempted to aid King Arthur against Mordred, but he was ambushed by the forces of Mordred before he could reach Arthur; during the battle Sir Percy was stabbed from behind by Mordred and died. In the 20th Century Sir Percy's spirit acted as an advisor to various Black Knights.

Percival was once handed what appeared to be the sword Excalibur by King Arthur himself. He consulted the Lady of the Lake, hearing a cryptic riddle. Percival found himself in the body of Black Knight (Dane Whitman) and confronted by the new Excalibur.
