Sir Gerald ap Gergich
Sir Gerald ap Gergich (Born 425) is a knight of Salisbury. The least popular knight in the court, nobody really knows very much about him aside from the fact that his wife and daughters are unnaturally attractive in comparison to Gerald himself. Even knights old enough to have known him when he was younger seem to regard this as a complete mystery, and it seems that the story has been lost to time, and politeness from those too courteous to ask Sir Gerald outright.

Personality
Sir Gerald is a friendly, if clumsy, man of advancing years. His best days, if they can be called that, are behind him now and he has settled into near-retirement. He does still answer the call to battle when it comes his way, and while he does not tend to strike down any foes, he does have an unbelievable knack for surviving unscathed from most fields of battle.
Important Deeds of Note
Sir Gerald is known far and wide for his clumsy, oafish behavior, as well as his rotten luck. Most knights avoid him out of annoyance and superstition that his luck may rub off on them. At every court, there is a Sir Gerald, and every knight must be vigilant lest he become like Sir Gerald himself.
Sir Gerald is the father in law of Sir Typhon the Temperate who married his daughter Millicent in 490.
In 489, Sir Gerald caused a major argument to break out at the party of Sir Archade of Laverstock, leading to the host to fight a duel and slay Sir Bar. This lead to Sir Archade going mad from grief and temporarily becoming a hermit. Sir Gerald felt very bad for having caused such a fuss and was treated for an ulcer later that month from worrying about his friend.
In 487, Sir Gerald was blamed by Sir Amig of Tilshead for suggesting to Sir Ronan the Abuser that he should purchase a small wooden piece of decor for the Lady Adwen, which later turned out to be a dildo. This was, of course, a lie - however Sir Gerald was so shocked at being blamed that he knocked over a table of food, slipped, hit his head, and could only sputter in response to the accusation, leading everyone to blame him regardless of the facts of the case. This incident was instrumental to the growing friendship between Sir Amig and Sir Ronan, and led to Ronan marrying the Lady Adwen later that same year.
