Sir Gawaindizzle

Sir Gawain is an interesting character. He isn't the best knight out of the Arthur's Court, but he requests the challenge that the Green Knight proposes. He is someway superhuman as in the book when he leaves for the Green Chapel, the hooves had some sort of sparks flying from the horse just like the Green Knight. Epic hero can describe Gawain because he ends up being a legend after accepting the challenge and traveling the country side. His name is spread throughout the land. He has his flaws with being tempted by the Lord's wife, and as in the beginning he wasn't as skilled and no one would expect him to be a "big star".

I like the rock star analogy, but I'm pretty sure that the sparks from the hooves are just the steel on the stone. (Maybe not, I may just be making this up.)
