Characters

 * Gote (Townsfolk, Guinevere's brother, The Fastest Shot): based on Gotegrin, the brother of Ginover (Guinevere) in Diu Crône . The plot of The Fastest Shot loosely follows an episode from Diu Crône where Gotegrin kidnaps Ginover after she admits she possibly had had a lover prior to Arthur. He plans to kill her, despite the pleas of Ginover and his followers, but Ginover is rescued by Gasozien. This mirrors The Fastest Shot, where Gote intends to force Guinevere to marry The Meleagrant and attempts to kill her when she refuses, with Guinevere killing him in return.
 * Lot (Saxon, a prior partner of Morgan, The Wake): based on King Lot of Orkney, the husband of Morgause and whose sons included Gawain and Gareth, and was the assumed father of Mordred. With Morgause being used as Mordred's deadname, Lot instead is coupled with Morgause's sister from the myths, Morgan, named after Morgan le Fey.
 * Orel (Saxon, High Priest, The Wake): based on Oriel, a Saxon king who led several attacks on Arthur during his early reign in the Vulgate cycle, . Orel takes a similarly important role in Mordred's group of Saxons.
