History
The Knights of the Round Table operated as an elite, centuries-old order of Her Majesty's Royal Knights and a sovereign aristocratic task force tasked with preserving human civilization from monstrous incursions in Neo-Victorian London. The organization originally formed during the medieval era under King Arthur to wage a desperate, multi-century war against intelligent human-animal hybrids known as half-breeds. The council established its supreme operational chamber within the Westminster Palace, anchoring their administrative authority around a massive physical Round Table where separate members held equal voting voices. Led by the Lord Chancellor Baron Augustus d'Argyll, the aristocratic league functioned parallel to the British government, enforcing martial law and actively suppressing a rising, lower-class rebel uprising in Whitechapel. When an active knight fell in battle, the administration permanently preserved their legacy by electing a successor who assumed the legendary Arthurian name as an official badge of office, allowing veterans like the third Sir Galahad and Lady Igraine to maintain the order.
Overview
In appearance, the Knights of the Round Table was a militarized organization whose active council roster consisted entirely of adult human males and females. They featured a highly athletic, diverse bipedal physical build that perfectly mirrored standard human skeletal biology, presenting four distinct limbs, ten fingers, and ten toes. The organization possessed varying individual hair structures and facial ages due to their artificially extended lifespans, with several senior knights preserving the appearance of middle-aged aristocrats despite living for multiple centuries. They expanded their visual identity by enforcing a rigid, ornate uniform standard designed to project high-ranking state authority and imperial prestige. Their garments consisted of dark charcoal-grey and black form-fitting wool military coats layered with thick crimson-red sashes, reinforced steel shoulder pauldrons, matching tailored trousers, and polished black leather knee-high riding boots. Every individual operative prominently displayed a heavy metallic chain harness across their chest, and higher-ranking officers carried a small, ornate glass vial containing a glowing liquid secured tightly inside an accessible leather vest holster.
They relied on their collective histories as master marksmen, elite swordsmen, and veteran military tacticians to execute synchronized urban clearing maneuvers, manage large-scale civic security lines, and neutralize ferocious werewolf threats.
