Pendragon (Duelist)

Pendragon: "I slew a radiant dragon on the shores of Wales. Put the sword to the bridge trolls of Glasgow. And saved lady Jett from certain doom on the cliffs of Dover."

Jett: "Wait, didn't you fall off the cliff in the middle of that fight?"

Pendragon: "Well... Yes, but I climbed very valiantly to get back up!"

A shining knight from Wales, Pendragon is the noble and slightly misguided master of X-Calibur, a powerful sword with a radianite blade. The knight talks a big game of his prior deeds, but performs voice lines of surprise and joy when he defeats members of the enemy team. A mix of old culture and new technologies, Pendragon is also referred to as the 'Techknight' by many agents, including Killjoy, who helped design some of the features of his suit of armor.

Pendragon acts as the full metal entryman of his team, peaking sites with his increased shielding to either force the enemy off angles using a spectral swarm of arrows, or push them himself. Developed as staying power against long sieges, X-Calibur grants Pendragon the ability to channel the radiant echoes of his ancestors, allowing his allies to advise the battlefield even after death. A unique feature of Pendragon is his love of parchment and pages, always carrying an old sketched scroll of the current map on his hip to aim his spectral archers.

Pendragon is super fond of Phoenix, both hailing from the same general area of the world, and often calls him 'sir' - a title he extends to no other agents. Pendragon has also taken a liking to Jett, whose ability with the blade and willingness to save him on three separate missions has instilled a type of blood debt Pendragon feels he must repay. The Techknight also marvels at Killjoy, Cypher, and Raze's abilities, always supporting and hyping up the ingenious tech he could never produce.

Abilities:

[An Honorable Death (Q)]: While over a slain enemy or ally's body, Pendragon may pull out X-Calibur and plunge it downward. He regains 50 armor if missing any, and a spectral knight rises from the body. Any spectators on your team may take control of the stationary ghost, moving the camera to look around from its limited vantage. (1 Charge, 400 Credits)

[Ancestor's Bulwark (E)]: Pendragon presses the family crest on his chest and a spectral shield appears over his torso. This spectral shield absorbs 30 damage before breaking and does not protect his head or legs. Any damage which is greater than 30 will penetrate through the shield and be dealt to Pendragon. (1 Charge, Signature, Refills on Two Kills)

[Spectral Barrage (C)]: Pull out the map on your waist, pointing at a location. After a three-second delay, a swarm of spectral arrows descends on the location, constantly raining down for 3 seconds. (2 Charges, 300 Credits Each)

[X-Calibur's Wrath (R)]: Holster your firearm to draw X-Calibur and gain 200 shield. While in your ult, you may deliver up a vicious upward slash, shooting a spectral arc forward which does 75 damage. This attack may be used up to 5 times before X-Calibur is drained and you lose your shield. (7 Ult Points)
