Biography
Little is known of Lancelot's life before he came to Camelot. He spoke little to Merlin but it is suspected that his parents died when he was young, leaving him to roam the lands alone and learn to survive. This is probably where he picked up his sword and weapon skills as well as close combat, due to the number of bandits and wild animals throughout the forests.

Lancelot first came to Camelot after he saved Merlin from a Griffin. Due to injuries from the attack, he was taken to be treated by Gauis. It was here that his hope to become a Knight was recognized. Using fake documents of importance to get into the training he was eventually accepted and knighted. Only a day later was he found out and punished for lying to the King. Having being banished, he still stayed close to Camelot's walls to make sure the Griffin was slain. During these events, he found out the truth about Merlin's abilities, but together they defeated the monster and resulted in them becoming close friends. Promising to keep Merlin's secret, Lancelot said goodbye and left.

Returning to his life in the forests he eventually got taken in by Hengist to fight for a living as his warrior. Here he was eventually reunited with Gwen, Merlin and Arthur. Teaming together, the men rescued Gwen and ran from their fearsome captors. Lancelot then again took leave after seeing the relationship between Arthur and Gwen and feeling he needed to keep a distance.

Only a short while later, Lancelot returned to Camelot after saving Arthur and Uther from bandits on a hunting party which went wrong. The bandits overthrew the two royals but were saved when Lancelot heard the commotion from his camp not far away. Arthur welcomed him with open arms, though Uther was still unsure of the man. After numerous hearings and debates between Arthur and his father, Lancelot was eventually accepted as a Knight of Camelot. Though it is his final chance, and if Uther so wishes, he shall banish him once more.

Lancelot's relationship with Arthur is that of a loyal and trustworthy friend. He also has connections with Gwen. Merlin's abilities are known to the knight which makes them closer than most within the kingdom, he also feels slightly protective of Merlin, though he knows the warlock does not need or want it. Regarding his fellow knights, he is extremely close, especially towards Gwaine and Percival.

Extra's
Lancelot is the only one in Camelot other than Gauis to know of Merlin's abilities. He has feelings for Gwen but knows she also likes Arthur. He was banished from Camelot by Uther for lying about his parentage in order to become a knight, but later returned to reprise his role.
