Gareth is one of the Knights of the Round Table from Medieval legend. He is the youngest son of King Lot of Orkney and Morgause, half-sister to King Arthur. He is thus a brother to Gawain, Agravaine, Gaheris, and half-brother of Mordred. He reportedly served as a kitchen servant until earning his knighthood. He was later killed while trying to prevent Lancelot, his mentor, to escape Camelot with Guinevere.
