History
Resistance against the Evil Roman Empire
When Grand Duke Garibaldi's Evil Roman Empire invaded Britannia, Merlin selected Arthur through Excalibur as the kingdom's destined defender. Arthur took up the mission of repelling the invaders and finding the Holy Grail, leading Lancelot, Percival, and the Knights of the Round Table against Prince Alan's border fortress. 185
Arthur served as the faction's central decision-maker from the Britannian camp. His presence and the aura around Cheng Tian's Grail Knight template caused Lancelot and Percival to recognize Cheng Tian as a kindred knight. 186
Campaign against Silver Prince Alan
During Alan's night raid, Arthur immediately rallied the camp behind Cheng Tian's charging War Elephant, drew Excalibur, and led the counterattack. 189 He accepted Cheng Tian's unconventional mounts and tactics without treating the foreign knight as a rival, trusting Excalibur's protection to shield both himself and legion-scale allies during a cavalry clash. 193 199
Arthur directly participated in the fighting against Balford, using Excalibur's defensive power and a Stomp Heavy Slash to pressure the wounded Dual Sword Knight. 201 Balford's defeat strengthened Excalibur, whose blade gained a faint golden color and increased Legion-level amplification. 203
After the victory, Arthur declined an immediate pursuit of Silver Fortress. He prioritized feeding, resting, and restoring his largely militia-based army rather than risking a collapse in morale and combat effectiveness. 208
Great Expedition and Kingship
After Alan's death, Arthur sent Cheng Tian a Knight Festival Invitation. The invitation later became a distress signal when Garibaldi's forces threatened the Knights of the Round Table during the celebration. 225 749
Arthur chose to lead an expedition into the Evil Roman Empire despite the Britannian nobles' preference to remain behind and divide the gains from earlier victories. His objective remained Garibaldi's defeat and the security of Britannia. 752
When the Holy Grail appeared to choose Cheng Tian, Arthur did not contest the outcome. He publicly recognized Cheng Tian's qualification to possess it, despite the Grail traditionally representing the future King of Britannia. 761 Arthur later accepted a miniature Grail and completed a job change before returning as Britannia's new king. 762 763
Appearance
Arthur is a bearded medieval knight associated with Excalibur and full armor. He rides a snow-white warhorse fitted with red armor, summoned through an enchanted knight chess piece. 189 192
- Carries Excalibur, Britannia's Sword of Selection. 185 752

Personality
Arthur's ideals center on driving out invaders, protecting people displaced by war, and restoring peace to Britannia. He did not originally seek kingship, but steadily developed the judgment and bearing required of a ruler. 193 224
He is pragmatic in command, valuing troop readiness and food over impulsive pursuit. He also does not resent capable allies for attracting attention or gaining influence, treating Cheng Tian as a valuable general rather than a threat to his authority. 193 208
Arthur displays unusual magnanimity regarding the Holy Grail. Rather than claiming it as proof of his own destined rule, he accepted that Cheng Tian had been chosen and judged him worthy. 761
