Seven Soldiers of Victory
Peredur fights alongside Arthur and his fellow knights against the Sheeda when they invade and begin to harrow Camelot. He survives the initial invasion and retreats underground for a time with the remaining knights. He joins his fellows in creating an atom bomb to end the corrupted reign of Mordredd the Dead. He dies in the explosion, or soon after.
Powers and Abilities
Peredur is an “optimum human;” as such he is extremely strong and durable. He is also very skilled in armed and unarmed combat. He possesses enhanced senses, possibly as a result of having been blinded.
Weapons and Equipment
Peredur wields a two-handed sword. He wears armour, which protects him against blunt force injury.
