Longarm

//This is part of the Hangover city, Liverpool, uk setting// = = =White Knight=

The current (And possibly only ever) White Knight is Longarm. No one recalls another one. When Longarm first arrived in the city the Fisher King declare him to be his long lost knight finally returned from the nobel quest he had been sent on- which was something of a surprise to the young Sidhe, who clearly had no idea what he was talking about. Originally Longarm spoke with a french accent, but 300 years of exposure to scouse has destroyed it; however at time of stress he does swear in perfect 17th century french. When pressed to disclose his existence before becoming the white knight he makes dismissive references to Huguenots, french kings called louis and unfortunate misunderstandings.

He is definitely the favoured son of the Fisher king, so much so that the king has been known to call him over during meetings of the court just so he can pet him, much to Longarm’s embarrassment. However this means that when he speaks most assume he has the authority of the King, especially if the king is in one of his less lucid moments.

Longarm is one of the few members of the Court who routinely travel beyond the boundaries of the city. These ‘quests’ for the Fisher King are something he does not like to discuss. Most assume they are related to the kings madness and that Longarm does not want to admit he does not understand them. In fact a lot of them are for the High Council and are highly secret.

Physically Longarm is a classic Fae. Fair, tall, beautiful with pointed tips to his ears and the cat slit eyes (except when he glamours them to look more normal - which is often the only concession he makes to blending in). He only ever wears white, which some how never seems to get dirty, regardless of the intensity of the battle. Usually these are white biker leathers, as he has transformed his Faerie stead into a white Ducati racing bike. He is always carries his talisman of office - a broad sword with sunlight bound into the blade which, although he can put down, can never be removed from him.

Over the last 50 years Longarm has developed a close friendship with Elijah Zander, prince of the White Court. There are some who suspect the Fae had a lot to do with the Vampires rise to power. Whether this was sanctioned by the Fisher King, or some personal project of Longarm’s is unknown. Certainly both would seems to be far too politically motivated for it to be merely the friendship they like to claim; but then a meeting of minds have made for stranger bed fellows.
