Pellegarde is a well built man with spiky dark hair and a big nose. He wears a suit of black armor with a helmet that looks like a clam with spikes and a large orb on his chest, and a high collared cape.

Personality[]

Pellegarde is a jovial, laidback and carefree man who appreciates fighting strong people such as Percival and wants to fight them, not minding whether his opponent are men or women. Despite his loyalty to Arthur, he is willing to go behind his back as he desired to take Percival under his wing.

History[]

In the Holy Knights of Camelot, Pellegarde was acquainted with Ironside and Varghese when they served King Arthur.

At one point Pellegarde had a son named Dick who died at the age of four after falling from a horse. However, although Pellegarde came to accept the death of his son, his wife still wished to have him back inside Camelot's dimension, thus creating the illusion of the child with which Pellegarde established himself unable to take away his wife's happiness.

Plot[]

Percival arc[]

At the castle, Pellegarde witness through a crystal how his large wolf familiar gets defeated by Percival and heads towards the village to meet Percival.

Seeing Percival in good shape, Pellegarde comments that Ironside must have feelings for his son and wonders if Varghese is alive too. Katz demands Pellegarde to apologize, however Pellegarde decides to push him away, but uses a bit more power and sends him flying few meters as he meant to shake him off lightly. After introducing himself and explaining he knows his father Ironside and grandfather Varghese, Percival wants him to tell him where Ironside is, however instead of answering Pellegarde just comments how he likes strong people and that he is impressed that Percival is not afraid of him. As their conversation is going nowhere, they starts to fight and Pellegarde is surprised Percival's strength and that he does not use any weapon. Pellegarde agrees that if he loses he will tell him where Ironside is, but if he wins, he will take Percival with him as he found worthy traits in him and wants to raise him himself. Eventually Pellegarde grabs Percival and tells him that if he does not use a weapon, he should at least use his magic, but is surprised to hear that the boy does not have any magic. Pellegarde then starts hitting Percival trying to make him admit defeat, but is suddenly pushed back by Percival's unknown power that has awakened.

Although Percival does not know what to do with his magic, he accidentally manages to attack Pellegarde with it. Pellegarde decides to stop restraining himself and releases a fireball with his power Pyre, although Percival manages to dodge it and then disperse it, Pellegarde manages to redirect it and hit it squarely. Despite the fact that Percival manages to enchant her entire body with his magic, Pellegarde declares that the fire will not stop until burning him to ashes. However, there he notices that a large number of miniature golems emerge from Percival's magic and restrict his arms to undo his magic. Pellegarde thinks it doesn't matter anymore since Percival already suffered lethal burns, but then Percival's magic completely heals his wounds. Pllegarde comes to the conclusion that Percival's magic is a Hero-Type, which only occurs in one in a million people.

After Percival hit him, Pellegarde compliments him on his instincts and potential, wanting to take him with him. Pellegarde then unleashes all of his power, eliminating the golems and saying that Percival cannot win since he is still an inexperienced novice. Donny decides to intervene by making Pellegarde levitate so that Percival can escape, but the boy doesn't understand his intentions. Annoyed by Donny's magic, Pellegarde unleashes a blast of fire that leaves Donny and Percival at their mercy, but there appears a fox that uses an Incantation Orb to teleport them away.

Upon returning to Camelot, Pellegarde traverses the pathway to the castle altered by Chaos, walking past the guardians. Entering the meeting, he greets his fellow Holy Knights and asks them if they are keeping up their good work only to be ignored. Pellegarde sits next to Ironside who commented that he never changes. He internally remarks that it is a shame that he lets Percival go and vows to take him back next time. When the robed figure with a scaly hand holding the staff reveals to the attending Camelot Holy Knights that the Four Knights of the Apocalypse are young lads and believes them to be Apprentice Holy Knights. Pellegarde internally notes that Percival is not even an Apprentice Holy Knight back in their fight. The Black Knight notices Ironside slamming his fist on the table in frustration and confronts him outside the castle where he thought out loud that the Red Knight let his son go out of pity or the like. Pellegarde muses that Ironside's reputation of "The Assassin" is at risk for failing to kill one of his targets. He reveals to Ironside that Percival is alive and they had a battle, confirming the boy to be one of the Four Knights of the Apocalypse. Pellegarde chides Ironside who thought he finished Percival off and stated that it would be a waste for he has guts and room to grow. He retorted to Ironside that it would be far better to raise the boy and bring him under their wing. Suddenly, Pellegarde is struck at close range by Ironside's sword slash only to easily block it with his arm. Pellegarde asks the Red Knight if he truly believes Percival is a threat to King Arthur. When Ironside beseechs him to fulfill his duties as a Holy Knight, Pellegarde pushes back the sword and retorts if his duties as Percival's father don't matter.

Entangled Forest arc[]

Pellegarde appears before Arthur Pendragon to inform him of Tamdhu's death at the hands of Gowther. He asks if he wants him to go monitor the battle between Peecival and the Dark Talismans. Arthur asks him to better help him in the search for his wife, to which Pellegarde gladly agrees. Arthur lets him do whatever he wants as long as he brings results. Pellegarde leaves eager to see how much Percival has matured.

On his way to the Entangled Forest, Pellegarde feels the magical power of the Dark Talismans disappear, wondering what happened since Percival may not yet have enough power to eliminate them. Finding Percival's group, everyone is alarmed by his presence, but Lancelot says they do not have time to play with him. Pellegarde asks who he is, to which Lancelot says they are leaving, using an Incantation Orb to teleport away leaving Pellegarde with the words in the mouth.

Chaos in Liones arc[]

Following Percival's trail, Pellegarde makes his way to Liones, removing his armor so as not to attract attention. While he ate in a tavern, Pellegarde is aborded by Pelliot and other Holy Knights. Pelliot questions his identity and intentions since they were tasked with investigating any strangers in the kingdom. Pellegarde says that he is looking for something and asks who he is without being impressed by his rank. Pellegarde challenges him to a fight stating that he will not tell him his name unless he shows that he deserves it. The fight is interrupted by Percival's group, who were searching for the fourth Knight of the Apocalypse.

Pellegarde is happy to see Percival who manages to recognize him even without his armor. As both Percival's and Pellegarde's identities are revealed, the Holy Knights decide to confront him. Pellegarde warns them not to, but Pelliot and the knights still attack him. Although Pelliot's Perverseness magic manages to affect Pellegarde, he uses his fire magic to engulf everyone.

When Percival manages to save everyone with his magic, he declares Pellegarde his enemy despite having nothing against him directly. Pellegarde insists on taking him with him by force. Impressed that Percival managed to enchant his weapon, Pellegarde unleashes his Immortal Fire, which Percival manages to intercept with his magic, but Pellegarde burns it with his Brilliant Hellfire making Percival realize that he does not have the strength to win, though Pellegarde sees it as a sign that he is maturing. However, Gawain arrives to nullify the fire and drive Pellegarde back with her golden magic. When Tristan and Lancelot join in as well, Pellegarde realizes that they are the Four Knights of the Apocalypse reunited at last.

Although his three companions have different opinions on what to do with him, Percival decides to try to convince Pellegarde to leave Arthur and join them. The knight simply takes Percival and runs away leaving the rest trapped inside a Perfect Cube. However, they are intercepted by Gawain who teleports to them and cuts Pellegarde with her sword despite the risk of hurting Percival as well. When Percival saves him from his fall, the two argue about why they saved each other, being interrupted when Gawain punches Percival.

Pellegarde manages to parry one of Gawain's punches and engages her directly, overpowering her. Pellegarde points out that despite her great strength, Gawain still does not have enough skill to use it properly, warning her that she would be dead if he was not her opponent. This causes Gawain to throw a tantrum of frustration, which upsets Pellegarde. He decides to leave, to which Tristan agrees since he does not want to fight a wounded man, and promises to take Percival with him the next time they meet. On their way, Pellegarde notices that one of Percival's golems healed his wound.

Demon Realm arc[]

Pellegarde appears before Arthur Pendragon along with the other Four Evils watching as Percival decides to sacrifice his life in the Demon Realm. Although this clearly affects him, Pellegarde denies that he cares.

Camelot Infiltration arc[]

Pellegarde accompanies Ironside, Altabhainne and Miltonduff when they invade the town of Bernia where the residents refused to move to Camelot, accusing them of stealing their lands. However, when Ban appears and bests Irsondie in combat, Pellegarde orders Miltonduff to open the gate to Camelot so they can escape even against Ironside's will.

Already in Camelot, Pellegarde clarifies to Ironside that he would have died if he had not fled and that the Seven Deadly Sins are truly a great threat. When Beltreipe arrives reproaching them for disobeying orders not to mess with the Seven Deadly Sins, Pellegarde carries Ironside to the castle to treat his wounds to prevent him from getting into an argument.

Later, when Donny, Anghalhad, Gowther and Bourse are cornered by giant wolves, Pellegarde orders the beasts not to harm them, revealing that they belong to him and that they are all on his land. Although Donny and Anghalhad prepare to fight, Pellegarde clarifies that he only wants to talk to them. Pellegarde then takes them all to his house, where he introduces them to his wife Fiona and his son Dick, the latter revealing to be an illusion of his deceased son created by Camelot. After evading Gowther's Invasion and stating that he will be honest in what he will say, Pellegarde explains to them how Camelot can grant almost any wish, as well as create and maintain anything or anyone, even deceased, but these "living illusions" being incapable of existing outside Camelot. Pellegarde affirms that he himself views King Arthur's actions unfavorably, but that he cannot deny the desire that his wife had to recover their dead son, despite the fact that Pellegarde himself accepted his death. When Pellegarde asks them if they have never wished for a loved one back, Anghalhad says that they have many times wished for Percival back, revealing that he is actually still alive, but in a coma. Pellegarde is glad to hear this, but when they refuse to tell him where he is, Pellegarde understands that he has already claimed that he is both their ally and their enemy.

When Bourse alerts that a Chaos Knight has discovered them, Pellegarde helps them by giving them time to escape, but when they are eventually discovered, Pellegarde is forced to help catch them. After eliminating the Empties with his Shiranui to do the job himself, Pellegarde asks their forgiveness but states that he must fulfill his duty as a knight of Camelot. There, one of his giant wolves controlled by Gowther's severed arm bursts in, crushing the other knight. The arm then fires one of Gowther's techniques at Pellegarde, but he, apparently unaffected, unleashes the Banka, trapping the group in a fire vortex. Although this convinces the other Knight that the targets were eliminated, this is revealed to be a scheme that Gowther conveyed to Pellegarde with his Broadcast technique of using his fire as a diversion so that they could flee to Britannia through Tethis's portal. Pellegarde hopes they are safe and sees them again.

Abilities/Equipment[]

As one of the Four Evils, Pellegarde is one of the strongest Holy Knights of Camelot.

He is very strong physically, as Katz senses that he is like a rock before Pellegarde uses a bit more power that sent him flying and render him injured although he meant to shake him off. Pellegarde is able to easily block a sword strike aimed for his neck from Ironside with his arm.

Pellegarde is skilled in close quarter combat, using his iron ball mace and shield during battle with great effect.

Donny notes that Pellegarde did not use all of his power when he fought Percival which is confirmed after the Holy Knight broke free from Percival's magic golems with a simple exertion of his magic.

Abilities[]

  • PyreほむらHomura」: Pellegarde possesses an ability that allows him to create fireballs, and control their trajectory at will. He can also create massive explosions of flame by releasing his magical energy all around him.

Equipment[]

Weapons[]

  • Mace: Pellegarde wields a large iron ball mace strapped at the back of his waist. He uses it in conjunction with his Pyre ability, and seems to be able to call it to himself at will.
  • Shield: An ornated shield that has the ability to fly. Pellegarde uses this item for defense in battle and as a means of transportation. He has shown that he can stand on it and control it's movements while in the air

Magic Items[]

  • Cape: Pellegarde's cape holds his armor and weapons, hiding them within it when he takes it off. When he places the cape back on it clads him back in his armor and weapons.
  • Crystal: a magic crystal that allows Pellegarde to see through the eyes of his familiar.

Familiar[]

Pellegarde owns various massive wolves as Familiars that he himself raises and cares for near his house. These wolves easily dwarfs a small village house. It uses its large claws and teeth to attack it's prey but was easily defeated by Percival.

Relationships[]

Ironside[]

Both are comrades-in-arms members of the Four Evils, having a decent relationship between the two. However, Pellegarde's ideals of having Percival as a disciple clash with Ironside's determination to execute him.

Percival[]

Unlike the rest of Camelot's Holy Knights, Pellegarde shows a positive attitude towards Percival despite being one of the Four Knights of the Apocalypse. The Black Knight is willing to have the young man under his tutelage and is happy to know how his power is growing more and more, wanting to confront him not for murderous reasons but to see how he progresses and even openly confessing his ideals to Ironside and acting behind Arthur's back.

His sympathy and appreciation for Percival is such that he was saddened by his apparent death but would later be happy to learn from Anghalhad that he was still alive.

Trivia[]

  • Pellegarde's name is possibly a portmanteau of two figures from Arthurian legend:
    • Pellinore, father to Percival (giving his father-son like relationship with Percival in the story), who went under the guise of a Black Knight before being recruited by Arthur to join the Round Table. In addition, there is also Pellinore's brother King Pelles, the Fisher King, a very important character in Percival's Holy Grail quest.
    • Percard the Black Knight, one of four brothers fought by Gareth in Le Morte d'Arthur.
