Percival or Perceval /ˈpɜrsɨvəl/ is one of King Arthur's legendary Knights of the Round Table. In Welsh literature his story is allotted to the historical Peredur. He is most famous for his involvement in the quest for the grail.
Chrétien de Troyes wrote the first story of Perceval, le Conte du Graal; Wolfram von Eschenbach's Parzival, Sir Thomas Malory's Le Morte d'Arthur, and the now lost Perceval of Robert de Boron are other famous accounts of his adventures.
There are many versions of Perceval's birth. In most accounts he is of noble birth; his father is either King Pellinore or another worthy knight. His mother is usually unnamed but plays a significant role in the stories. His sister is the bearer of the Holy Grail, she is sometimes named Dindrane. In tales where he is Pellinore's son his brothers are Sir Aglovale, Sir Lamorak and Sir Dornar, and by his father's affair with a peasant woman he also has a half-brother named Sir Tor.
After the death of his father, Perceval's mother takes him to the Welsh forests where she raises him ignorant to the ways of men until the age of 15. Eventually, however, a group of knights passes through his wood, and Perceval is struck by their heroic bearing. Wanting to be a knight himself, the boy travels to King Arthur's court, and after proving his worthiness as a warrior he is knighted and invited to join the Knights of the Round Table.

Plot: STEVEN RAY was never quite normal. But when the love of his life ANNIE is killed in a hit-and-run incident at a city cross walk, his violent and bizarre behavior becomes uncontrollable. One night, as Steven plots his next murder, a body drops from the sky and lands on his cab. Enter PERCIVAL, who's unsuccessful attempt at jumping off a building not only interferes with Steven's plans, but the chance encounter also introduces the two into each other's sad and lonely lives. Percival believes he's cursed after miraculously surviving each suicide attempt and concludes fate brought he and Steven together. So he hires Steven to assist him in suicide. Steven does not believe in fate and thinks Percival is desperate and delusional. But he accepts the offer. Easy money. After Percival continues to miraculously survive each attempt on his life, Steven starts to believe. He tries to help Percival figure out ways to break the curse. And in the process, they form an unlikely friendship through the common bond of tragedy.

What did you do with the pastries I baked for you?
To think of the spices I wasted
Can it be true that you can be hooked on ordinary sweets?
So I'll sit in disbelief and sing this tune
I spend my whole afternoon in my kitchen
It took just a little bit of my soul
But you can't see that there's so much more to eat than wrappers could ever tell you on the back
Percival it's all up to you
Tell me Percival why can't you see true?
If you're the keeper of the chalice, why do you make me feel so blue?
I can't understand what's going on in your head
Could there be something there?
Are you dead?
Don't you believe that all your thoughts are free?
Or are you just a shade of a different hue?
Percival it's all up to you
Tell me Percival why can't you be true?
If you're the keeper of the chalice, why do you make me feel so blue?
Percival it's all up to you
Tell me Percival why can't you see true?
Percival it's all up to you
Percival
