Sir Percival is one of the Grail Knights in Arthurian Legend. He is sometimes the son of King Pellinore and tends to have a number of siblings and half-siblings, living or dead, with the most fandom-famous being Lamorak, Feirefiz, and Dindrane. He originated in Welsh as Peredur. In earlier texts involving him, he is the lone knight destined to find the Holy Grail. Later, he seeks the Grail as a companion of Galahad and Bors, with Galahad being the greatest of the three knights.

Percival is the name of a character on BBC Merlin. Like the legendary character, this Percival lost much (all) of his family, is very strong, is altruistic, and is a Knight of the Round Table. Unlike the legendary character, he is not a prince and has no ties to the Grail. Some Merlin fans tie in more of Percival's medieval backstory in their works and headcanons.[1]
In Fandom
Percival is sometimes shipped with Galahad[2], Mordred [3], or one of his female love interests from Medieval literature.
