* [[Rightful King Returns]]: In the [[Prequel]] of Livre VI, {{spoiler|and again in the upcoming movies}}.

Line 98:
* [[The Pig Pen]]

{{quote| '''Arthur:''' You know Britain is an island, right?<br />
(...)<br />
'''Arthur:''' And when invaders want to raid the country, where do they come from?<br />
'''Yvain:''' They come from thousands of people?<br />
'''Arthur:''' ...Nope...<br />
'''Yvain:''' They come from... Britain! }}

* [[Manipulative Bastard|Manipulative Bitch]]

* [[Twin Threesome Fantasy]]: Tumet & Aziliz
 
Line 209:
== The Weaponmaster (Christian Bujeau) ==
* [[Berserk Button]]: Do NOT taunt him about the one-leggedness of his father.
* [[Everyone Calls Him "Barkeep"]]
* [[Large Ham]]
* [[Master Swordsman]]: He's not named "The Weaponmaster" for nothing. (His actor, Christian Bujeau, ''is'' an expert in medieval fencing.)
Line 218:
== Nobles and Family ==
== Anna (Anouk Grinberg) ==
* [[Brother -Sister Incest]]: At the end of Livre VI, she appears to Arthur in dreams to predict it. Arthur [[Squick|isn't especially thrilled]].
* [[Evil Sorcerer|EvilSorceress]]
* [[Insistent Terminology]]: Both Arthur and herself are very insistent that you call them half-brothers.
Line 239:
* [[Altum Videtur]]
* [[Brutal Honesty]]: Usually toward his lackeys.
* [[Card -Carrying Villain]]: A magnificent example, especially the episode where he [[Ascended Extra|starts being a major part of the main plot.]]
{{quote| '''Loth''' Just between you and me: what do you think of King Arthur?<br />
'''Dagonet:''' ''(hesitates)''<br />
'''Loth:''' You can talk with sincerity; long story short, you're at scums' home here: our ideas aren't very nice, and we're not afraid to say it; we instigate, we [[Buffy -Speak|renegade]], we let our fantasies run wild. }}
* [[Chronic Backstabbing Disorder]]: [[Card -Carrying Villain|And not shy about it.]]
* [[Deadpan Snarker]]
* [[Freudian Excuse]]: Spoofed. Loth claims sarcastically that his [[Chronic Backstabbing Disorder]] comes from his fear to become attached to someone.
Line 290:
** {{[spoiler|[[Broken Angel]]}}
* {{spoiler|[[Fish Out of Water]]}}
* [[Herald]]: She routinely sends Arthur and his knight on [[Dungeon Crawling]]. Needless to say, each time [[Hilarity Ensues]] and [[The Quest]] is either [[Screw This, I'm Outta Here|dropped completely]] or ends up an [[Epic Fail]]. Also the one who predicted that Perceval could well be [[The Chosen One]].
* [[Hypocritical Humor]]: She's quick to yell at Arthur for still paying homage to [[Classical Mythology|Mars]] (rather than sticking to [[Christianity|the One God]]) while having obvious pagan origins herself.
* [[Invisible to Normals]]: Usually, only Arthur can see her. Léodagan [[Agent Scully|didn't believed she existed for a long time]], while Perceval and Karadoc can't quite grasp the concept.
Line 306:
* [[Nietzsche Wannabe]]
* [[The Scourge of God]]: Claims to be the "answer" of the gods for the failures of Arthur.
* [[Shout -Out]]: A machiavellian "evil god", wearing a long black mantle with a large hood, trying to "corrupt" Lancelot and Arthur (a.k.a. the most willing to do good) and to destroy Logres, the only kingdom trying to find the Grail? [[Star Wars (Franchise)|Hmm.]]
 
== Merlin (Jacques Chambon) ==
* [[Butt Monkey]]: While a lot of character could fit, Merlin takes the cake by being the guy who takes the most slaps, kicks, punches or "headbashes-to-the-table" on-screen, mostly from Arthur and Elias. This, plus the various dirty tricks from Elias.
* [[Half -Human Hybrid]]
{{quote| '''Arthur:''' Is it true that you're the son of a demon and a virgin? [...] You've taken more from the virgin.}}
* [[Inept Mage]]: Possibly subverted; Merlin himself ''[[Unreliable Narrator|claims]]'' to be quite effective, but as a ''[[Druid]]''. Of course he's useless in a royal court.
** [[Unreliable Narrator]], really: everytime he talks about his druidic powers, it is implied that he really is inept; for instance: when, in Livre VI, in the streets of Rome, Arthur asks him if he could strike the place they're in with a lightning bolt (something Merlin explicitly said he could do, as it is a druid's specialty), Merlin replied that [[Captain Obvious|it would be a lot easier to do if there was a storm going on.]]
* [[Lovable Coward]]
* [[Really Seven Hundred Years Old]]
* [[Speaks Fluent Animal|Talks to Wolves]]: Due to his druidic powers. Note that this is actually the only power that he really is shown efficiently using.
* [[Wizard Beard]]

* [[Dirty Old Man]]
* {{spoiler|[[Driven to Suicide]]}}
* [[Lonely Atat the Top]]
* [[Obfuscating Stupidity]]
* [[Ring of Power]]: His Ring of Blades' Control (allowing him to deviate any weapon aimed at him), that he gives to Arthur.
Line 341:
* {{spoiler|[[Beware the Silly Ones]]}}
* [[Drill Sergeant Nasty]]
* [[Green -Eyed Monster]]
