Percival

is the son of Ironside and grandson of Balgis, and one of the Four Knights of the Apocalypse. He is the main protagonist of the sequel, Four Knights of the Apocalypse.

Appearance
Percival looks like a very young boy showing a small and lean figure, despite being in his late adolescence, with green hair and purple eyes. His outfit composes of tunic cloth and short. He later wears his grandfather's purple horned iron helmet and an orange cloak with a brooch shaped like a serpentine creature biting his own tail.

After an encounter with his father Ironside, Percival harbors a very large cross-shaped scar on his upper body, tilted slightly to the right. The same scar also extends to his right arm, which will align perfectly with the scars on his body when standing with arms down.

Personality
Despite being a teenager, Percival is essentially a child in body and mind.

Because he has grown up in an isolated environment, away from the world and humanity, with his grandfather as the only acquaintance, he overflows with curiosity towards everything he does not know, and since there is much that he does not know, he is always excited.

Due to his lack of experiences in life, he is extremely naive, easily relying on people he barely knows, to hand over all his belongings, or to follow them where they want.

Having lost his grandfather, whom he loved more than anyone else, Percival leaves his home, in large part to find his murderer, but also because he wants to go on adventures just as his grandfather inspired him to do so.

Appreciating the words of his grandfather, Percival tries to act as a Holy Knight should, facing the evil and protecting the weak.

He seems to be quite interested in women, observing Elba's body (and pawing her breasts) when they were bathing in the lake, but instead as a genuine curiousity rather than lustful intent.

Plot
Percival was born 16 years before the start of the series, the same year that the New Holy War (the confrontation between the Seven Deadly Sins and the Ten Commandments) happened.

The details of his birth are still unknown, but at some point before or after this, his father betrayed Camelot, and his grandfather accompanied him, leaving the kingdom.

After parting their ways, his grandfather takes Percival to God's Finger, where he raises him in total isolation until the beginning of the series, teaching him to fight since he was 3 years old.

Abilities/Equipment
Despite his small size, Percival is incredibly strong, beyond that of almost any human adult. This is best shown when he takes out a monster wolf the size of a house with nothing more than a slap to the face.

Percival is also extremely resilient, standing upright showing little to no pain despite being hit with an extremely powerful attack from Ironside which would leave a massive scar on him.

He has also shown the apparent ability to aim at targets behind him, how he achieves this feat is not yet understood. But it seems that this happens even when he fires at a target right in front of him with his bow and arrow.

He seems to be extremely talented as a Holy Knight, managing to awaken his magic in the middle of a difficult fight, only to unconsciously use it to reverse his situation and manage to dominate his bases in a matter of minutes.

Power
Percival's Power manifested during his fight against Pellegarde, in the form of an aura around his body or part of it. It is currently unknown what is the full extent of this power. Pellegarde speculates, due to its multiple uses, that it could be a "Hero Type" magic that only appears in one in ten thousand people.
 * Enhanced Strength: Covering his fists with magic, Percival's physical strength increases considerably.
 * Enhanced Durability: By covering his body, Percival significantly reduces the damage taken from magical (and probably physical) attacks.
 * Magic Golem Creation: The aura could take the form of minimized clones of Percival. It is unknown how much control he has over these clones (since he created them unconsciously), but they seem capable of simple acts such as swarming Percival's enemy and they are even able to speak single words. They seem to have quite a considerable physical strength.
 * Enhanced Healing: By covering his body with his magic, Percival can heal injuries such as severe burns in a matter of seconds.

Balgis
Balgis is Percival's grandfather and was his only family. Percival greatly admired and loved him, as the two had a very good relationship and never showed any signs of anger or annoyance with him. Percival was determined to give up his dream of adventuring in Britannia to accompany his grandfather so that he would not feel alone. In short, Balgis was the special person Percival wanted to protect above all else, and even if he doesn't show it, her death affected him a lot, crying during the cold nights when remembering the warm embrace of his grandfather.

Ironside
Ironside is Percival's father, as well as the murderer of his grandfather Balgis. Although at first he was very curious about its origin and particular means of transport, Percival is very resentful with him, although it is not clear if he hates him to the point of wanting to kill him, he is determined to find him and defeat him to find out why he did what he did.

Trivia

 * Percival is named after his namesake Percival, one of the Knights of the Round Table in Arthurian Mythology.
