Justin Welsh grew up during the time of Camalot. His father was a squire who had attained knighhood and Justin hoped to follow in his footsteps. He served ably and was eventually made a knight of the round table. Sir Justin was sent to the east by Merlin, on a quest for an enchanted sword that was fortold to have a great destiny. He and his men travelled for seven weeks before they arrived at the keep that Merlin had seen in his prophacy. Sir Justin and his men entered the seemingly deserted keep and found themselves beset upon by all manner of vile demons and beasts. They fought bravely but in the end, only Justin remained. On the run from the creatures of darkness; Justin made his way deeper into the Keep. The seemingly endless catacombs lay before him and he constantly heard the fall of footsteps and spied flitting shadows in his peripheral vision. Finally, exhausted he found his way into a room with a fountain. The room was a stark contrast to the dark and malevolent keep. It was polished white marble, gold trimmings and frescas on the cielling depicting angels and creatures of goodness. Weary of a trap, he slowly approached the fountain. In the center was the sword of Destiny; it was just as Merlin had described! Grasping the blade, Sir Justin felt his strength return tenfold. He turned to leave the room when a voice called out to him. <i>"Justin, your destiny no longer lies with Camalot."</i> He spun around and saw an ethereal image of a stately older man. <i>"You are needed elsewhere, another time, another battle."</i> With these words, Sir Justin fell into an enchanted slumber. He did not awaken until the year 1997. Once awakened, he sensed the presence of a dark and evil power. Taking up the Sword of Destiny and his shield of Purity, he strode out of the room to meet the dark presence. He appeared on the streets of Bristol, England. His enchanted slumber had somehow allowed him to learn while he slept, he understood modern english and the technological marvels of the day. Clad in his armor and shield as he was he was quickly approached by the police. He went without a struggle and after talking with the New Knights of the Round Table; he began his career as a costumed adventurer. He eventually found himself drawn to other displaced heroes and they formed the Lost Legion. He leads them to this day. He and his Lost Legion have encountered a similar group in America known as the Crusaders. They have compared notes and have a good working relationship but rarely encounter each other working on separate continents as they do. Sir Justin seeks nothing more than Justice and peace. He strives to be an example to the youth of today. He is bold, decisive and honorable. He understands the laws of today and does his utmost to defend them. Your black hearted reign of terror ends to day Giles de Morphant; oh and I'm going to eat that damned bird of yours too! A chivilrous knight of the round table, Justin is brave, honorable, and very skilled in battle. He has the Weapon Fighting martial art, is a fair brawler as well and has a few enchanted items to back up his training. He generally is a front line fighter teaming with SEIGE to soften up opponents. He isn't fond of NightRunner's guerilla tactics, but as long as lethal force is avoided he over looks it. Ho Hum, another temporally displaced warrior. I have at least nine of them in my Champions Universe. Maybe they should form a union. Justin is a mid card hero and a front line fighter. He can also be used as a historian for the Arthurian times if it is needed. He has access to a fiarily potent mystic as well and the Lost Legion can get involved in Arcane matters. By the way, the evil he sensed is the Black Paladin. Somehow, Sir Giles is going to become a major threat. A handsome young man with black hair and blue eyes. He has a nobility and sense of purpose about him that makes him seem more impressive than a man his size should be. He wears enchanted elvan created chain mail with a white tunic over it. His shield, a gift from Merlin has the crest of Arthur Pendragon on the Welsh family colors. The Sword of Destiny is a bastard sword that he weilds one handed most often but he can weild it two handed if necessary. It has a silvered blade and the hilt is in the shape of two golden wings. The pommel holds a brilliant blue sapphire.
