The Knights of Avalon were a British order of knights composed mainly of Gangrel that rejected the savage ways of their Scandinavian and pagan brethren and instead aspired to follow the tenets of chivalry and medieval honor. They were obliged to Mithras and the Baronies of Avalon. Their headquarters lay in Cornwall.

The Knights of Avalon conquered their Beast via a particular combination of Christian faith and strong will, seeing the associated Beast Marks of their Clan as signs of failure and shame. They were tasked by Mithras with the slaying of the various enemies that threatened the vampires in his domain, be they Wights, Lupines, witch-hunters or of even more elusive nature. The patron saint of the Knights of Avalon was St. Austreberthe, who had tamed the wolf and set it to bearing burdens to replace the donkey it had killed.

The Knights of Avalon had a small membership, including Sir Arthius Morgant, a Welshman and the childe of Rhun of Tintagel; Sir Percival of Ghent, who heard of the Order’s work in his native land and crossed the sea to offer them his sword; Sighurd the Saxon, an experienced warrior converted to Christianity; and Sir Godfrey himself. Also attached to the Order is Master Humphrey, a Nosferatu who served as a squire to the Order and hoped one night to earn the honor of knighthood.

In 1242, twelve of the Order's best knights were send to Normandie to fight the pagans of the Alliance de l'Orme in the name of the Échiquier de Rouen and to spread the Knights' influence in the area.
