King Arthur and the Knights of Justice

Plot

Characters

The Knights of the Round Table

• King Arthur – The quarterback of his football team, The Knights, in his own time, Arthur uses his natural leadership skill in battle against Morgana's forces. While seeking Merlin's counsel at times, Arthur usually comes up with clever strategies and battle plans when needed. His shield houses the Dragon of Justice, a wyvern which can be unleashed to do his bidding when he needs it. The dragon was the family crest of the original Arthur of legend, Arthur Pendragon. He stores the great sword Excalibur in his chestplate, rather than a sheath. His horse's name is mentioned once as being Valor.
• Sir Lancelot – Lance is the second-in-command of the knights and Arthur's best friend. Fearless and brave, Lance is usually the most serious of the knights. His emblem is a lion.
• Sir Tone – Tone is the team's inventor and blacksmith. He invents many machines based on ones he has seen in his own time. Tone's real name is Anthony, and he speaks with an Italian accent. His chestplate houses a hammer and chisel with which he can build almost anything.
• Sir Trunk – The knights' strongman. His shield contains a giant ram strong enough to break down walls and carry several people on its back with ease.
• Sir Wally – A guard for The Knights football team, as a true knight his job is now to protect Arthur during attacks. Good natured, but takes it hard when he makes mistakes. Sir Brick is his best friend. His shield emblem is a falcon.
• Sir Brick – Like Wally, Brick is usually used as Arthur's bodyguard. He has unwavering loyalty to his friends, including his best friend, Wally. He is able to call an apparently unlimited supply of bricks out of his chest plate and create massive walls from them at will.
• Sir Phil – One of the stronger knights of the twelve. Is very adamant about returning "to the land of cheeseburgers and fries". His chestplate houses a club, and his shield contains a black panther.
• Sir Darren – The only one of the knights with a crossbow, Darren is the team's pretty boy. Now he has found a steady girlfriend in Lady Elaine. He is usually cool and confident on and off the battlefield, perhaps too much so. His shield houses a giant eagle capable of lifting multiple men in each talon.
• Sir Gallop – The ladies' man, Gallop constantly thinks of women, though is also very respectful towards them. His chestplate houses a pike with a spiked ball on the end and his shield houses a two-headed hound. In season 2 he dates the peasant girl called Katherine.
• Sir Breeze – Breeze is the big trash talker in the group. He also uses a lot of slang of his time, and is both afraid of heights and small spaces. His emblem is the sphinx. He is a bit of an egotist but knows where his priorities lie.
• Sir Lug – Though originally the team's equipment manager, in Medieval times, Lug is in charge of Camelot's squires. Lug has low self-esteem and is usually picked on by some of the other knights, but he possesses great courage and can even hold his own against Lord Viper in a fight. His shield emblem resembles a kraken.
• Sir Zeke – A certified genius, Zeke is the least seen of the knights.

  Camelot characters

• Merlin – The great wizard who served King Arthur. He was responsible for bringing Arthur and his teammates into the past to fight against Morgana after the real King Arthur and his knights were imprisoned. Merlin is a great asset to the knights and uses his various spells, potions and advice to assist them when needed. He is also the only person from his time period to know Arthur and the others' true identities.
• Queen Guinevere – Camelot's queen and the real King Arthur's wife. Guinevere was captured by Morgana at the show's beginning, but she was rescued by Arthur King, Lance, and Trunk. She often wonders about the change in Arthur's demeanor and manner of acting, unaware of the whole truth.
• Lady Elaine – Guinevere's attendant and Darren's girlfriend.
• Lady Mary – Guinevere's second attendant and aunt to Squire Everett. In the season 1 episode "To Save a Squire", she and Sir Tone at first resent each other, but in the end show affection for each other.
• Katherine – A peasant girl that becomes Sir Gallop's girlfriend starting season 2.
• Squire Tyronne – A squire who looks up to Sir Lug and has a strong desire to be a knight.
• Squire Everett – Like Tyrone, Everett is very passionate about being a knight. Nephew of Lady Mary.
• Lady of the Table – The protector of the knights, her spirit can be seen as the knights are being equipped with their armor and weapons. The knights cannot see her, however, until the Season 2 episode "What the Key Unlocked" where she reveals herself to Lance.

  Morgana's forces

• Queen Morgana / Lady Morgana – The evil sorceress who serves as the primary antagonist of the series. She was responsible for sealing Arthur and his knights into the Cave of Glass. She despises Merlin and has great magical prowess. While she does not know where they came from, she knows the new Arthur and his set of knights are frauds. Among other things, Morgana constructed the vicious Warlords out of stone. If the Warlords are broken or destroyed in battle, Morgana can reassemble them using her magic.
• Lord Viper – The second-in-command and overall field commander of the Warlords. He seems to be the only human in Lady Morgana's army. Viper has a constant hatred for Arthur King and they have had several sword fights throughout the series. Viper's main weapon is a jagged-edge sword, but he also has a snake emblem on his armor which can attack Viper's opponent. He rides in a cart that doubles as a catapult.
• Warlord Axe – A warlord who is not too bright, Axe has a plethora of ax weapons and an ax cart. He has appeared in almost every episode and has defeated King Arthur on two separate occasions.
• Warlord Bash – A primitive warlord who wields a bone club and skull shaped shield. He likely represents the Saxon barbarians that raid most of Europe in legend.
• Warlord Blackwing – The third-in-command and Viper's right-hand man, Blackwing possesses pterodactyl-like wings and can fly, allowing him to attack his enemies with the mid-air dart attacks from his talons. He is also equipped with a pike. He is responsible for capturing Guinevere early in the series.
• Warlord Blinder – A warlord who is able to blind his opponents by striking together his two dirks. He can also throw them with perfect aim.
• Warlord Hammer – A super strong behemoth with two hammers as weapons considered to be one of the strongest among them.
• Warlord Lucan – A savage wolf-like berserker warlord with sharp claws, missile attacks and a wolf-head cart that breathes fire.
• Warlord Slasher – A warlord with many sharp weapons including spears, a serrated–spiked cape and a spear cart. Also his armor could be configured into a pair of deadly gauntlets. Like Blackwing, he can fly, but does so rarely.
• Warlord Spike – A warlord with a voulge style weapon and a spear cart that can shoot projectiles; he also seems to be one of the smartest, as he leads many missions and applies battle strategies.

  Purple Horde

• Master Chang – The katana-wielding leader of the Purple Horde, an army of Asian warriors, who menace the Knights in the second season. They have their mind set on conquest and are in a feeble alliance with the Warlords. Chang upholds a strict code of honor for the Purple Horde to abide by, which allows a level of understanding between them and the Knights.
• Awan – A warrior who uses a nunchaku and carries a war horn.
• Hung – A warrior who wields bow and arrows.
• Ti Ben – A warrior who uses portable gunpowder-based artillery.
• Rim – A warrior who uses a sword-dagger combo and bombs.
• Po – A warrior who uses a kusarigama and shuriken.
