Description
Figured I'd do this as an exercise. Result? Probably my favorite armor I've designed, full stop. His color scheme I can only describe as "moon", because symbolism with King Artorius as the sun and Guinevere as the stars.

One of the more famous/infamous figures from the Golden Age, Sir Lancelot du Lac, esteemed as one of the greatest Knights of the Round Table. Not one of King Artorius' first knights, but rather came to Camelot after it had been established as a great power. He wished to meet with the so-called King of Light and wished to meet with him, the son of a king himself. He proved himself a great man of undeniable virtue and skill, rising to the right hand of Artorius himself and earning renown far and wide, even leading the charge against the siege from the Northern Warriors led by Beowulf. However, he helped spell the beginning of the end for Camelot when he and Guinevere began their affair. Secret at first, it was revealed when he slew Agravaine, the second eldest of Clan Orkney, in an act of self-defense. Their affair revealed, Lancelot was exiled while Guinevere was sentenced to death. In an act of passion and rage, Lancelot charged into battle with his companion, Bors the Younger. Their fight resulted in the two younger brothers of Clan Orkney, Gaheris and Gareth, being slain. This was the last straw, since he had actively slain two of Artorius' kin (and the beloved brothers of Lancelot's brother-in-arms, Gawain). Artorius declared war on his best knight and, in the ensuing chaos, Mordred took the throne. Lancelot tried to make peace to aid in the defeat of this treacherous knight, but was rebuffed by the grudge-carrying Gawain and Kay. Much like Beowulf, he arrived too late to be of effective help. Despite his life of fame and glory, he spent the rest of his days in disgrace, sequestered in a hermitage.

Lancelot was a man of personal honor and integrity, valuing it above all else, as well as friendship (often wearing their armor to win jousts in their name). As a drawback, he had a fierce temper and prone to going into a near-frenzy when in battle. His affair with his king and friend's wife was something that slowly grew, as he treated her more like a person than a queen, seeming almost like a real husband. In regards to his son, he took on his self-imposed exile before he was crowned. Due to his life and legacy, he was granted a place in Elysium, the place in the Underworld reserved for the renowned heroes...but feels that he doesn't deserve it.

He wielded the mighty sword, Arondight, and was actually a Dragon-Slayer in life.
