Sir Lancelot du Lac is an anthropomorphic hedgehog and the alternate reality doppelgänger of Shadow the Hedgehog from the world of Camelot. He is a member of the Knights of the Round Table, a group of knights in the service of King Arthur. Both as quick as Sonic, Lancelot is the mightiest of the Knights of the Round Table, as well as the one closest to King Arthur. He wields the legendary sacred sword Arondight.
A strong believer in honor, Sir Lancelot is firmly devoted to his duty.
