He comes from Arthurian legend, the King with
a wound that cannot heal, perhaps sexual in nature.
He neither lives nor does he die, and his kingdom
lies barren. Yet he guards no less than the Holy Grail
itself, the object of all quests.

He is purposely a less distinct figure to symbolize his
eternal wasting away. In this sense, he incorporates
the paradox and terrible tragedy of HIV/AIDS. In a
broder sense, he is a symbol of all forms of emasculation.
