Mordred-
Arthur’s nephew, and in some texts Arthur’s son as well through his
unwitting incest with his sister, Morgause (or Morgan le Fay depending
on the author). Mordred is left in charge of the throne
while Arthur goes to war against Lancelot, and rebels in the king’s
absence. Arthur is called back from the continent to quell the rebellion
and is therefore not at his full strength when battling Mordred. Arthur
kills Mordred at the battle of Camlann, but is mortally wounded in the
process.
