My palace in Wales

Warrior and full-time quester

I learned about chivalry from King Arthur and about adventure from my quests.

I support Arthur as High King of Britain. It helps that I'm his cousin.

King Cilydd son of Celydonn and Goleuddydd (who died when I was born). I've got a mean stepmom, though.

Just a stepsister. My stepmother wanted me to marry her own daughter by her first marriage. I said no, which ticked off the stepmonster.

We haven't thought about kids yet.

Some of my BFFs were from the court of my cousin King Arthur. They included Sirs Kay, Bedivere, and Gawain, and they helped me on my quest to win Olwen. My other pals that helped me out are Cynddylig, who kept me from getting lost, and Gwrhyr, who knows every language Rosetta Stone offers a course on.

The giant Ysbaddaden, who kept me from Olwen; his daughter; and my stepmother who cursed me

In love with Olwen

Just Olwen. Thanks to my stepmother's curse, she's the only woman I'll ever love.
