11 Gaheris is one of the Spectral Knights that Gwendolyn summons through the Dual Frontline Battle System in Tides of Annihilation. He was one of five knights available in the playable build shown in August 2026, where he served as the roster's wind specialist: a primary knight who improves Gwendolyn's evasion, owns the air, and doubles as her traversal tool outside combat.

33 Combat Profile

55 Gaheris fights on wind. His special attacks accumulate feathers on a target, and the fifth stack cashes out as a heavy blow. Players in the August build described him as the pool's strongest aerial option, with cyclones that lift enemies off the ground and hold them there long enough for extended air combos. Keeping him equipped also improves Gwendolyn's own dodge, which suits a hit and run rhythm rather than standing and trading.

88 Traversal and Puzzles

1010 The knights are not only a combat system. In the playtest build the arrow zipline was the answer to gaps too wide to jump, and arrow shots released platforms and severed ropes so suspended objects dropped where the player needed them. The museum level's environmental puzzles were built around this split of responsibilities, with different knights answering different obstacles: Gaheris crosses and triggers at range, while Palamedes breaks walls, lifts heavy objects and repositions pillars to make a jump possible. A separate boost ability was also used to reach high ground.

1212 A Note on the Name
1313  
1414 Some early hands-on coverage rendered this knight's name differently in English. The producer named the demo roster himself when walking through the five knights and their roles, and assigned the wind kit and the zipline to Gaheris. That is the spelling this wiki uses. The name is not Gareth, which is a separate figure in the tradition.

16+A Note on the Zipline
17+ 
18+Who fires the traversal arrow is not settled in public material. The producer named the demo roster himself and gave the zipline to Gaheris, and that is what this page records. Players of the later show-floor build described the same tool as a magical bow of Gwendolyn's own, one of the weapon categories she unlocks, whose arrows string a line across a gap. Neither account mentions the other, and the studio has not reconciled them. What the two agree on is the mechanic: an arrow fired at a fixed point creates a crossing, and the museum's gaps are built around it.

1620 Building Around Gaheris
1721  
1822 Loadouts hold four knights at once, two primary and two secondary, and the player can switch between them at any point during a fight. A primary knight carries a dozen or more attack moves; a secondary carries two. Knights can be summoned in the middle of a combo, so their moves extend a chain Gwendolyn has already started.

Rotating to Gaheris covers the air, the space Bedivere's kit gives up.KaySlowing an enemy's attacks makes the airborne game safer, since a juggle commits Gwendolyn to a fixed path.GawainHolds enemy attention on the ground while Gaheris works a single target in the air.PalamedesSlow and heavy as a primary. Gaheris is the mobility half of that pairing, and his dodge bonus offsets Palamedes' weight.
2125 Grail Shards

2327 The in-game lore glossary states that all of the Knights of the Round Table hold Grail Shards, and that gathering those shards lets Gwendolyn manipulate the fog. Gaheris' own shard has not been shown.

27-None of what follows has been shown as the game's version of events. The studio has been direct that the legend is a starting point rather than a script: game director Ary Chen has said the team is not copying it one to one and will have its own interpretation and narrative, and producer Kun Fu has said the action system was designed first, with the knights, the world and the art built afterwards to fit it.

2933 In the legend, Gaheris is a son of King Lot of Orkney and Morgause, Arthur's half-sister, which makes him Arthur's nephew and a brother to Gawain, Agravain and Gareth. He serves as Gawain's squire before he is knighted himself. Malory gives him the ugliest scene in the Orkney story: finding his mother with Sir Lamorak, he kills her, and the family's long feud with Lamorak ends in Lamorak's murder. Gaheris himself dies unarmed and unrecognised, cut down by Lancelot during the rescue of Guinevere, and that death is the wound that finally splits the Round Table.

3135 The game has shown none of these relationships. Gaheris, Gawain and Lamorak are all present in Tides of Annihilation, but nothing released so far establishes that they carry the legend's history with them. The wider approach to this material is covered on Arthurian Legend in Tides of Annihilation.
