Mordred (Descendant)

They call me many things: Murderer. Cutthroat. Thief. But you may call me Mordred. This article is about a subject that lacks an official name and is known only by its nickname, title, or alias.

The man known as Mordred was a 9th century descendant of Mordred, the alleged illegitimate son of King Arthur Pendragon and the Lady of Avalon. After taking his ancestor's name as his own, he founded the Descendants of the Round Table.

Biography

Under Mordred's rule, the Descendants of the Round Table's main goal was to obtain and utilize his ancestor's sword Excalibur as a means to control and rule all of England. The Descendants faced strong opposition from the Women of the Mist, a group of Celtic witch-warriors who had protected Excalibur long before Arthur's reign. When Mordred believed they had interfered with the Descendants' plans for long enough, he led a failed invasion of their homeland Avalon and nearly razed it to the ground.

Around 878, Mordred and his Descendants formed an uneasy alliance with the Order of the Ancients in order to reclaim Excalibur. Through the efforts of the Avalonian Niamh of Argyll, the Hidden One Hytham, and the Raven Clan's seeress Valka, Excalibur was seemingly destroyed. Without a clear goal to strive towards anymore, the organization crumbled.
