Sir Kay

The goat head stays

This is all in the Arthuriana AU I’ve made in my head

I guess I wanted to keep his design as the ‘enchanter knight’ type character that he is in earlier literature. But, instead of a visual reference to Merlyn and his kind of natural, earthly magic, Kay has to rely on objects and spells and dark rituals to be able to use magic because it doesn’t come naturally to him.

Kay is unpleasant to everyone but Arthur, and in this AU has somewhat of a ‘rivalry’ with Lancelot, as Lancelot disapproves of his profane magic. Of course, Lancelot is a much better and capable knight than Kay, who relies on his longbow and spells and only dons armor when absolutely necessary

ARTHUR: But what am I to do now?
ECTOR: My lord. You are my king. It is not for me to tell you what to do.
