Gawain

Gawain is a supporting character of the 2004 Touchstone Pictures film King Arthur, which sought to tell a historically accurate version of the legend of Arthur and his knights.
==Background==
===Personality===
Gawain is a professionally mature knight who serves under Arthur. While he rarely shows much in terms of personality, he does mention that he has fought for the Romans much longer than the others and is implied to be used to his barbaric lifestyle. Despite the desire to cease fighting and resume a normal life, he does agree to go on one last mission with Arthur to ensure his freedom. He also displays a jesting side as well and embraces the comradery between him and his fellow knights.
==Trivia==
*Joel Edgerton would later star in The Green Knight, which retold the famous Arthurian tale about Gawain, though he himself would play a different character.
*In usual legends, Gawain is Arthur's nephew and is typically portrayed as either being courteous or even prideful. Various legends portray him having various lovers and offspring of his own. His most famous story is his interaction with the supernatural Green Knight whom he beheads, only for the Knight to declare that he will return a blow of equal force towards him. Bound to his fate, Gawain travels to meet with the Knight, only for him to reveal that it was a test of nerves and he is sent away on good terms.
