Personality
Bound by honour, duty and chivalry, The Questing One is the classic "big dog": quiet since he doesn't usually need to threaten, a 6'4" broad shouldered man wielding a broadsword and wearing face concealing armour usually threatens simply by being there, when is honour or that of a lady he sees as under his protection is slighted he is a ready duellist . That said The Questing one or "Quest" has a sense of humour even if it might not always be apparent, and is hugely protective of those he sees as friends or innocents. Rather conservative in many ways Quest is cautious in his actions having been around for over a millenia he rarely sees a reason to rush into things when a more measured approach might yield greater dividends. Quest makes promises carefully but once made will go to the ends of the Earth to see it fullfilled.
Motivation
Quest is bound by the knightly code of chivalry: to be just and merciful, to protect the weak, always defend a lady's honour etc. This can at some times lead him to appear stuffy or pompous but this is more an aspect of his fullfilling vows made, even if they were sworn centuries ago. He is a devoted servant of the mysterious "Lady" who guides the knights who he believes to be related to (or possibly be) Nimue, the lady of the lake from the court of King Arthur.
Abilities
Quest is a skilled swordsman, with techniques forged in the fires of many wars: the viking invasion of Brittania, the Norman conquests, the Wrs of the Roses, the English Civil War, and both world wars. The magic htat has sustained him through the years also boosts his physiology pushing his physical strength and endurance to above human norms. In his years Quest has had dealings with the Sidhe, the fair folk, mostly battling them but on occasion fighting with them as part of an alliance of convenience and has learned a certain amount of their magic, mostly relating to teleportation which he studied in order to better serve in wars against them.
Vulnerabilities
Equipment
Rarely seen without his signature plate armour and shield, The Questing One carries little beyond his sword and axe. Although not exactly ascetic he is used to travelling light and equips accordingly: Food, water and medical gear are usually all he carries although The Questing One is not averse to equipping according to specific missions if required.
