Duncan

Prince Duncan of Mercia and one of the many sons of King Bayard. He is played by David Tennant.

History
Born the twelfth son of the King Bayard, young Duncan lived a childhood of privilege and mortal danger, as the shaky succession situation in Mercia meant that he lived under constant threat of assassination from each of the others hoping to attain the throne. As such, he became rather crafty and skilled in combat.

Personality
Duncan gives the impression of holding most people in disdain but is quite chivalrous toward women. He is extremely arrogant, believing himself to be above others. He can also be very sarcastic if he wants to be and is shown to be very confident about his looks and has dated a lot of girls. His charisma, good looks, and charm have made him quite the ladies' man, and he is implied to be somewhat promiscuous among girls. Despite his luck with girls, he never forms emotional attachments for more than a brief amount of time. He is also known to be a bit self-centered; however, when it comes to battle and justice, he is willing to make sacrifices and the right decisions.

Abilities
Duncan is a highly skilled combatant, well-versed in martial arts, but also excelling particularly in sword combat - in which he is able to hold his own against King Arthur. He has displayed significant agility and remarkable strength.

Aside from his prodigious physical skills, Duncan is a crafty and capable tactician, able to think several moves ahead of the enemy the big picture as well as incorporate his surroundings, various skills and unique tools to his advantage in a battle. His natural charm and intelligence make him a model leader on and off the battlefield.

Lucas
Duncan and Lucas share a friendly relationship even though they don't approve of everything each other does. They're both princes and share common beliefs but Lucas' self righteous attitude annoys Duncan as does Duncan's constant flirting with everyone and everything.

Annabella
Duncan argues with Annabella Pendragon even more than he does with Lucas, their similarly stubborn personalities keeping them at odds with one another despite their powerful bond. However, this affectionate hostility appears to be masking a deeper relationship. Though Duncan has not outwardly admitted any romantic feelings toward Anna, he is rather overprotective of her and becomes unnaturally flustered at the mere suggestion of an amatory relationship between them.

Name
Anglicized form of the Gaelic name Donnchadh meaning "brown warrior", derived from Gaelic donn "brown" and cath "warrior". This was the name of two kings of Scotland, including the one who was featured in Shakespeare's play 'Macbeth' (1606).
