Revision as of 15:56, 8 October 2014 by Myself 123(Message Wall | contribs)(→Trivia: Being blood relations doesn't mean anything here, Percival and Lamorak are brothers in the orignal tales, but aren't the same species in the game.)
The Knights of the Round Table (円卓の騎士,Entaku no kishi?) are a group that appear in Sonic and the Black Knight. They are a group of knights and the lieutenants of King Arthur. Most of the members are alternate reality doppelgängers of Sonic's friends and rivals.
Not much is known about the Knights of the Round Table's past. Presumably, the group was formed by King Arthur during the period of the king's noble rule, to serve as his foremost servants and enforcers. The Knights of the Round Table themselves willingly served under King Arthur and followed his every order, bound by their honor and code of chivalry.
Despite suffering humiliating defeats at the hands of Sonic and Caliburn, the Knights do not give up. While Sonic battles King Arthur on the island of Avalon, Lancelot, Gawain, and Percival manage to track down Merlina in Camelot Castle. The Blue Blur arrives just in time to see Merlina reveal herself as the true villain of Sonic and the Black Knight: the Dark Queen. As the castle falls apart around them, Sonic and the Knights flee through Knight's Passage. In order to save the Kingdom, the former lieutenants of King Arthur agree to work with Sonic and Nimue to halt the Dark Queen's magic by activating four barrier stones. Sir Lancelot rushes to Shrouded Forest, Sir Gawain to Great Megalith, Sir Percival to The Cauldron and Sonic to Dragon's Lair.
Real world mythology
Sonic and the Black Knight's Knights of the Round Table are based on the traditional English legends of King Arthur and Camelot.
Trivia
Nearly all the Knights of the Round Table are alternate reality doppelgängers of Sonic the Hedgehog's companions from previous adventures; namely:
Another thing to note is that all of their original counterparts (except Jet) have been known to have a serious personality and see Sonic as a foolish but worthy opponent to fight.
Galahad and Lamorak are the only knights whose original counterparts aren't available for play in Multiplayer mode.
Galahad and Lancelot are the only knights who are the same species.
Each of the Knights of the Round Table has at least one aspect that they share with their original counterparts:
Shadow/Lancelot: Serious personality, being the strongest of Sonic's rivals and Chaos Control.
Knuckles/Gawain: Protecting a treasure and mistaking Sonic for a thief upon first encounter.
Blaze/Percival: Elegant and formal personality and possesses pyrokinesis.
