Sir Lucan the Butler is a servant of King Arthur and one of the Knights of the Round Table. In charge of the royal court, along with Bedivere the Marshal and Kay the Seneschal.

Lucan is the son of Duke Corneus, brother to Sir Bedivere and cousin to Sir Griflet. He and his relatives are among Arthur’s earliest allies in the fight against the rebel kings such as Lot, Urien, and Caradoc, and remained one of Arthur’s loyal companions throughout his life.

Lucan is one of the last knights at the king’s side at the Battle of Camlann. He helps Arthur off the battlefield after he battles Mordred, but the stress is too much. He dies from his own wounds just before the king returns Excalibur to the Lady of the Lake and sails off for Avalon.
