Agilgar was the first Duke of Pavarron and a Grail Companion of Gilles le Breton. He befriended the great pegasus Glorfinial whom he rode into battle. He weapon was the lance, and his blazon the pegasus rampant.

History

A master of the feint and riposte, Agilgar's skill at turning an enemies strength against him was legendary. Many a powerful foe met his demise on the end of Agilgar's lance. Agilgar joined the Grail Companions of Gilles after the lords of Bastonne, Mousillon, Lyonesse, Bordeleaux, Aquitaine, Brionne, Carcassonne and Quenelles came to his aid during the fifth of the Twelve Great Battles. After the defeat of the greenskins on the border of Athel Loren, the eight Companions rode for seven days towards once-handsome Parravon, carved from stark mountainside by the River Grismerie, only to find that it stood in wrack and ruin to find that it stood in wrack and ruin - fell Giants high in the peaks were throwing boulders down upon the city below. Borne aloft on his faithful pegasus Glorfinial, Lord Agilgar of Parravon wheeled through the air above the city the better to take the battle to them, and managed to defeat the Giants. Tens of thousands numbered the slain that day, yet not a drop of blood fell from the Companions in their stride, and the greenskins fled from their mighty foes.

Agilgar was particularly renowned for battling with Terrorgheists in the lightning laced clouds above Castle Mousillon as he defended one of its walls during the Ninth Battle.

Agilar was slain in 1024 IC, His pegasus, Glorfinial, was killed by a group of Wyverns above the Grey Mountains, and the Duke of Parravon fell to his death.
