Mordred was the son of the Lady who ran Avalon during King Arthur's reign. Said by some to hold the blood of the true king within his veins, he was allegedly the son of King Arthur. During his life, he fathered at least one child before betraying his father and dying alongside him at the Battle of Camlann around 537.[2]

From his legacy of power, others followed Mordred's example. By the late 9th century, one of his descendants claimed his name for himself and formed the Descendants of the Round Table. Along with other descendants of Arthur's knights, as well as the descendants of the Women of the Mist who chose the paths of power, he sought to recover Excalibur, the Sword of Eden held by his ancestor, and use it to rule over Britain.[2] Mordred and his Descendants later laid siege to Avalon, though they were ultimately defeated and pushed back.[4]
