Galehaut was the son of a human man and a giantess. he lived in the small territory of Cymry just to the west of Camelot's borders. There, the most aggressive and brutal raiders fled, seeking to avoid the punishment they would surely face if they were to be captured by one of King Arthurs men. This made Galehauts youth dangerous, and he had to learn to fight in order to survive. Luckily, his half giant status made him incredibly strong, and he learned how to use a great sword from an early age. Slowly, as Galehaut grew older, he stopped only protecting himself and his mother, eventually spreading his protection to any who sought it out. Eventually, he had rule over the entire territory. Many of his men wanted to crown him king of Cymry, but he refused. Many of the raiders that now served as Galehaut's soldiers told him how the east was ruled by a cruel tyrant who would give out cruel and unjust punishments to even the most minor of crimes. Enraged, Galehaut refused to take the title of King until the Kingdom of Camelot was freed from this tyrants rule. With his people at his back, Galehaut began marching through the neighboring kingdom. Quickly, Galehaut conquered huge swathes of land, gaining more and more followers as he did, before he finally drew King Arthur's attention. To Galehaut's surprise, the King who had gained his title threw warfare, did not simply attack Galehaut and his army on sight, but instead requested a parley with the Uncrowned King. Intrigued, Galehaut approved the request, and as agreed, Arthur came into the camp alone, and with no weapons, only his gleaming white armor in stark contrast to Galehaut's worn and battered steel. Galehaut listened to King Arthur's plea for peace, and was intrigued when he offered him lordship, and dominion over the lands he had conquered. All the while though, Galehaut's men were whispering into his ear, telling him that they were all tricks and lies, and not to trust the self proclaimed King of Knights. Galehaut, trusting in his generals, refused King Arthur's offer, and when Arthur attempted to leave, Galehaut refused to allow him to return to his troops. One of Galehaut's younger men who went by the name of Percival questioned this decision, saying that it was unjust to deny an army their commander before a battle. Galehaut considered this, but was again swayed by the words of the raiders he had made generals. That morning, when Galehaut marched his troops onto the battlefield, he expected that they would surrender knowing that their king was held captive, but he was sorely mistaken. The first wave to hit Galehaut's troops were the cavalry, Galehaut managed to cut any horseman that came to close down, but most of his men were not so lucky, especially he noticed, if they faced a knight in beautiful blue armor riding on a white stallion. As Galehaut cut through horseman after horseman, attempting to get to this knight, he watched in wonder at the skill he displayed, and slowly noticed that the tip of his lance had been blunted. Before he could look around to see if the other horseman carried similar weapons, he was stopped by a man almost as tall as him wearing a blue tunic and a kilt, a falchion at his side, but a flag with the pointed tip lopped off in his hands. Galehatu managed to fight the orange haired knight off for a while, but as the noise of the battle slowly subsided, Galehaut's opponent doubled in size, now towering over the Uncrowned King. Galehaut was ready to face defeat when the young Percival came to his side, and together they managed to fight off the massive knight for a while longer, but the battle was already lost, and the blue clad knight joined the now giant sized Albian, and Galehaut knew it was time to surrender, not for his own life, but for the young warrior that now stood beside him. Galehaut and his men were all bound, sans the few who had met their end at the hands of a mace or a morning star from a more reckless knight. Galehaut watched in silence as he watched the knights of Camelot gather up all the dead, and prepared the ones presentable enough to be sent home, and gathering the armor and valuables from those who were not for the same purpose. Galehaut was amazed to see that the blue clad knight made sure that those under his command gathered what was needed from Galehaut's men, and asked Galehaut where he needed to send them. Some Galehaut knew were from the towns and villages he had conquered on his way into the kingdom, and others were from his homeland. Galehaut was not able to give directions that were useful to the Knights of Camelot. The blue clad knight who had introduced himself as Lancelot said that he was willing to let Galehaut take their bodies back himself, but the orange haired knight named Kay vetoed the younger knights permission. It was as the two knights argued amongst theme selves that King Arthur interceded, Galehaut's generals in shackles behind him. Arthur told Galehaut that the men who had called Arthur a tyrant were murderers and rapists who had fled Camelot to avoid their crimes, and were likely going to abuse the power they would gain from Galehaut to continue indulging in their wretched vises. This news enraged Galehaut, and he ripped out of his binds, charging through the three other men, and lifting the closest of his generals into the air, Kay and Lancelot attempted to stop the half giant, but Arthur stopped them, watching him carefully. Galehaut felt the rage building in his chest, and his giant instincts wanted so terribly to rip him in half, but his nobility stopped him, and he dropped him to the ground, telling Arthur to take him back to Camelot and give him the punishment of the kingdom. Arthur smiled at this, sending the generals off, and telling Arthur to take Galehaut and any surviving soldiers that wish to help to return the dead to their family's. Galehaut thanked Arthur, and pledged his services to the king. Arthur promised the Uncrowned King a knighthood once he returned from his quest, as well as the possibility for any of Galehaut's men that wanted to enter a squireship. Galehaut promised to tell his men, and the next day Lancelot, Galehaut, and the young warrior Percival made their way through Cymry, returning the fallen, and removing the power structures that had been put in place by Galehaut's former generals. Over this time, the three men became close friends, and upon their return to Camelot, Lancelot recommended that not only Galehaut, but also Percival were promoted to knighthood. Galehaut continued his friendship with Lancelot throughout his time at Camelot, and during the civil war between Arthur and Lancelot, Galehaut followed his comrade, pledging to serve as his Justiciar upon victory against Arthur.
