Percival's enemy in the search for the Holy Spear was Klingsor. Kundry, who served Klingsor, was Percival's true love. She was Percival's first kiss,Fate/Grand Order - Percival's Valentine's Day scene and though her kisses had the power to enthrall men Percival never lost sight of himself, which allowed him to confront Klingsor. During their battle Klingsor used Longinus on Percival, only for Percival to take the spear's magical energy from the attack and throw it back at him. Percival then returned the energy to the spear, recompleting it. When he obtained the spear, flowers left by Kundry bloomed around the throne of Klingsor's fortress.
Kundry is cursed to reincarnate eternally and serve men of strength in every life, only to be used as a tool and cast aside, until she is at last united with him and granted the salvation of death.Fate/Requiem Volume 1: The Boy Among the Stars - Prologue
According to legend, while Galahad, Percival, and Bors were on their quest for the Holy Grail they were led by Percival's sister to the ship of King Solomon. They sailed the ship to an island where Galahad obtained the Sword of the Strange Hangings. The sword doesn't look like much, but you won't find many relics more sacred. It is holy enough to stand against the Holy Spear Longinus for a few blows.Fate/Requiem Volume 1: The Boy Among the Stars - Chapter 8
