Bedivere

Knight of the Round Table.
One of the early knights, and becomes Knight Marshal of Camelot. 
Brother to Lucan. Cousin to Griflet. Friends with Kay. 
Bedivere loses a hand in battle in his late middle ages, and teaches himself to fight one-handed. He also keeps a journal, and writes the story of King Arthur as a third person narrator. 
Bedivere and Arthur are among the few survivors of the Battle of Camlann (at Solsbury). Arthur is mortally wounded, and Bedivere takes him to the Lake (where he first received the sword) to cast away Excalibur at Arthur's request. However, at the final moment he quietly refuses, thinking the sword too valuable to Britain to throw into the water. When he reports that nothing in particular happened, King Arthur admonishes him, for Arthur knows that the mystical sword would create some supernatural event. Finally, after twice attempting and holding back, Bedivere casts the sword into the water, at which a hand rises and catches the sword mid-air, then sinks into the Lake, and Arthur is thus assured that the sword has been returned. This act summons Morgan and her maidens, Nimue and others, who take the king to Avalon by barge. Upon the presumed death of Arthur, Bedivere enters a hermitage led by an Archbishop in a Duroverno, where he spends the remainder of his life. There he will be joined by Lancelot and some of his kindred knights, who will resort to it in their own penitence. Here Bedivere completes his Tale of Arthur and the Knights of the Round Table.
