| - The title character, he is renowned across the land as a hero. He is cocky, egotistical and even narcissistic, though his confidence was wounded sorely at the betrayal of his first love, Madalena, whom he practically worships. Depressed, he lives half-heartedly with only his squire, Sid, to take care of him until Princess Isabella of Valencia entices him out of hiding by telling him Madalena is being abused by her husband and regrets choosing money and power over love. Over the course of the first season's journey to reach the kingdom of Valencia, his character evolves drastically, learning to be more considerate of other people's needs and feelings, and less focused on being "the hero", largely thanks to the love/friendship of Isabella and Sid. As of yet, he still retains a slightly narcissistic view of himself, though considerably less so than before. By the end of the first season, Galavant gets over his love of the selfish and manipulative Madalena, instead falling sincerely for the feisty and sweet Isabella. When Galavant was young boy he was constantly bullied by his peers. His father Arnold, a heroic knight, found him crying one day after the latest incident. Arnold told Galavant never to show emotions believing that feelings were extraneous. Shutting them off would allow him to focus on seizing his "moment"; a possible scenario where he could show the world his true worth. His also recommended to his son that he should never get married. This was because Arnold had a strained love/hate relationship with his wife and Galavant's mother. At the age of eight, Galavant took his father's words to heart and devoted his time to studying, training and bettering himself. He also vowed to swear off falling in love to avoid any distractions on his path to having his moment. When he reached adulthood, Galavant became a famous warrior and was lauded as a hero of the Five kingdoms ("Galavant (song)"). Despite the promise he made to himself he eventually fell hard for a maiden named Madalena. The two were very happy until a nearby King named Richard became besotted with Madalena. He had his henchman Gareth kidnap her and Madalena was taken to his castle where she was to wed him. Galavant went to rescue his beloved and after easily dispatching several guards interrupted the ceremony. To his surprise Madalena didn't want to be rescued and chose to go through with the wedding. Although she chose fame and fortune over Galavant's love for her she hoped they could remain friends. The empty platitude from Madalena was then followed by a punch in the gut from Gareth and accompanied by a weak kick from the King.
