My name is Sir Agravain. I was one of the esteemed Knights of the Round Table, and I also only came into contact with the King because I had been hired to assassinate him by Morgan Le Fey. And then when I became aware of Lancelot and Guinevere's affair, I was the one to bring it to her Highness's attention, I told her that one of her most trusted friends was betraying her trust with her wife and she believed me. In a ministry based entirely on the virtues of fealty, she gave me trust. I was not worthy of her trust and she gave it to me for free.

I don't know why I got the benefit of the doubt and Mordred didn't get any help with his. And I'm saying this because I liked the guy- 'cuz personally, I thought Mordred was a bit of a jerk-off. Actually, "fucking dick" would be more accurate. Mordred was the kind of guy- at least with me- where, one minute he's your friend, and the next minute, he's making fun of you in front of everybody. he used to say that the reason the Green Knight came to Camelot was because I had trampled over his 'fairy bush' when I wasn't paying attention during a hunt. Stuff like that. But then other times, he could be real nice, like, once when we were partnered to go into town to deal with bandits, and well, I had some problems that day- barely disarmed one guy, another almost got me from behind- but Mordred had my back, he really did, for no other reason than I was his fellow knight, and that tells me his honour was genuine. And when we got back to Camelot that night he didn't tell anyone how I'd messed up, in fact he said I did a good job, and I appreciated that. I knew Arthur knew it was bullshit, but I appreciated the gesture. I thought it showed largeness on Mordred's part.

And the thing is, Mordred was kind of a dick, but he wasn't shallow or petty. He really was pretty large. He wasn't the best, but he was far from the worst. And Arthur liked him, liked him a lot, in fact. Mordred was right up there up there in the top three with Lancelot and Merlin, who, by the way, could also be a dick sometimes too. The trick with Lancelot was: Never talk about France. The guy was crazy about France. Say something about France and forget about it! The guy would go crazy! Anyways- some people say Mordred did what he did because he was greedy. Personally, I think that's bullshit. The guy wasn't wandering around the British countryside with a bunch of ragamuffins because he was looking to get rich. Other people say that Morgan Le Fey got to him. Again, bullshit. Mordred was loyal to a fault. Obsessively loyal, even. Mordred would have taken on Morgan and her entire army, one against a thousand, if he had to, and he would have done it with relish. Other people say Mordred did it because he knew the ship was sinking and he was trying to get himself a nut to have something to fall back on.

Listen: Mordred was not a "fall-back" guy, he was one hundred percent "fall forward". And to me, that deserves some consideration. I was not fall forward. Not by a long shot. And neither were most of the others. Mordred was a dick, but he deserved better. Just one knights opinion.
