King Arthur (Gargoyles)

King Arthur Pendragon is one of Britain's most famous kings. This version is featured in the television show Gargoyles.

History
Arthur became High King of Britain on September 29, 500. He was mortally wounded in 542, and sent to a magic hill on Avalon where he slept for fourteen hundred fifty-three years, when he was awakened by Elisa Maza.

On Avalon, he helped battle the Archmage, and decided to explore the modern world on his own. He eventually wound up in England, where he broke into Westminster Abbey, thereby attracting the attention of the gargoyle, Griff. With the help of Griff and the Manhattan Clan, King Arthur reclaimed Excalibur despite Macbeth's attempt to claim the sword for himself. He then made the decision to go and search for Merlin, as well as find a way to return Griff to London. However, Griff wished to accompany him, so King Arthur knighted him.

When Arthur heard that England was returning the Stone of Destiny to Scotland, he and Griff returned to London to protect the stone on its journey.
