Sir Lancelot is a Mobian hedgehog from an alternate universe in which he is Shadow the Hedgehog's dimensional counterpart. He is a knight in the service of King Arthur along with Sir Percival and Sir Gawain as the Knights of the Round Table. While the king pursued the wizard Merlina and called forth monstrous creatures to ensure her capture, the three knights watched from atop cliff as she summoned Sonic the Hedgehog, who fell from the sky and then defeated all the creatures. Before he could battle the king, however, he and Merlina disappeared in a puff of smoke. King Arthur then approached the three knights on his flying horse and ordered them to spread out and search for Merlina and Sonic. After he left, Sir Gawain voiced his objections to the orders, as Merlina was the royal wizard. Lancelot and Percival, however, protested that they were nothing without loyalty to the king, and Lancelot left to accomplish his new mission. (StH: #197)
