Character

Grail Knight

weary solemn resigned dutiful wise

The Grail Knight stands as the final guardian among three knight brothers who vowed to protect the Holy Grail inside its canyon temple. Ancient and frail from centuries of duty, he rises to test Indiana Jones through a brief, symbolic sword duel that exhausts him completely. He reveals his brotherhood's oath, passes guardianship to Indy after the non-violent 'victory,' and issues dire warnings about false Grails causing instant death. He affirms Indy's selection of the true Grail—a plain carpenter's cup—restores healing water to it, and stresses the chalice's unbreakable bond to the temple, embodying selfless vigil over sacred power.
