<strong>Sir Yvain, The Knight of the Lion</strong><br/><br/>Yvain, the knight of the lion is the son of King Uriens of Gore and Queen Morgan Le Fay and therefore, King Arthur's nephew, and cousin to Agravain, Gaheris, Gareth, Mordred, Calogrenant, and Gawain, the last of whom becomes Yvain's closest ally. He is troubled by many failed relationships with women. Yvain is highly protective of his uncle and cousins even at the risk of his own life, so much so that if you even pondered the thought of inflicting harm upon one of them, you'd best look over your shoulder for him. He is not the most skilled of the knights of the roundtable, but he is among the most determined and on ocassion can match Gawain swing for swing, blow for blow. He has an intense thirst for adventure and in one such battle he rescues a lion from a dragon, and the feline becomes fiercely loyal to Yvain.
