Lancelot Seat
From Acw
Lancelot Seat is one of the New Seats, split from Percival Seat as the Arthur approached New Iowa to facilitate a ground invasion. Like Percivals, they are martial, but the character of their current Prime has influenced their character to become something more cold and ruthless.

History
Adjunct to Percival
The Department of the Ark Ships saw fit to equip the Arthur with a company of infantry in cryogenic storage, just in case. In year 146 of the journey, they were thawed out and armed against an unknown threat. Originally this company was put under the command of Percival-2.
The Return is Marred
When the Arthurians realised that New Iowa was already occupied, panic ensued. The Round Table convened in year 369 debated for three days over the merits of invasion. At first the Table was split while Taliesinn Prime abstained, then on the second day, Colgrevance-2 abstained from the vote. Eventually the motion was revised by Galahad Prime, so that a ground force would be made ready, but would only invade if the Arthur was first fired upon.
Lancelot Seat is formed
However, the plan decisively changed when Colgrevance Prime mooted his plan for pre-implants in year 372. At this late stage the ground forces were re-tasked with a full-scale invasion. It was decided that Percival-2 was not up to the task on his own, so he and the ground forces were split from Percival Seat and renamed Lancelot Seat. Percival-2 was to serve under the then Colgrevance-3, who was renamed Lancelot Prime. It was believed that the planning abilities of Colgrevance mixed with the martial prowess of Percival Seat would produce the best results.
