Philippe d’Artaud, was a Bretonnian Paladin, a Questing Knight and leader of Bretonnia's armies during the Nemesis Crown campaign.
History[]
As a young knight, d’Artaud gave up the keep and lands that were his due in order to quest for the grail. Now, almost 20 years later, this seasoned veteran quests ever still. Long ago, d’Artaud’s faithful steed died in battle, thus this brave knight fights on foot, defends the weak and helpless, and tirelessly seeks the Grail. He is such an inspiration upon the battlefield that those who fight beside him redouble their efforts, fighting even harder in his noble presence.[1]
D'Artaud was chosen by king Louen Leoncoeur himself to act as Bretonnia's leader during the Quest for the Nemesis Crown, fighting against armies from all other races. As the Dwarfs were closing in on the Crown, d'Artaud and his army were riding down their foes across the hills and dales. The bold Knights had won great glory in the name of the Lady, and their actions had, many claimed, saved the Empire from invasion by the innumerable creatures of evil flooding into the region in search of the Crown. The warriors of any evil army that ventured onto the Draken Downs, the Rauberthal and the Barren Hills were ridden down without mercy, forcing such armies into the forests, or onto the roads, where other forces dominated. On that last day, the cordon thrown up by the Dwarfs was as effective as it was in no small part thanks to the actions of the Knights of Bretonnia in keeping the vile creatures of evil at bay. It was on that day that one of the Crusade's greatest heroes fell, for Sir Beoveld gave his life that the forces of Undeath might be held back from the Great Forest, and the forces of light given time to gain the Crown.[1]
