Sir Gareth was a Knight of the Round Table in Arthurian Legend. He was the son of Lot and Morgause, King Arthur's sister thus making him Arthur's nephew and brothers to Gawain, Gaheris, Agravaine, and Mordred. He came to Camelot in disguise as a kitchen boy and was set to work by Kay, who always gave him difficult work or teased him as being a lowly kitchen boy, nicknamed him "Beaumains" or "Goodhands" (alternatively "White Hands", or "Beautiful hands"), since he would not give his name.
