Lancelot is a descendant of the original Knight Sir Lancelot, as well as the Legendary Magician, Merlin. His mother is Gabriel, who is one of the Four Great Seraph making him the grandson of God of the Bible.

After he completed his training in the Chivalric Order, Lancelot soon moved back to his hometown of Kuoh and currently lives in his childhood home. He attends Kuoh Academy as a second-year student, eventually becoming the president of his own club that he called Knights of Chivalry. Soon he gained his own Brave Saints with him and chose the suit of Hearts. Later on, Lancelot completed his own Independent-Type Sacred Gear named Avalon Drakon.

Appearance
Lancelot is a handsome seventeen-year-old high school male student of average height along with a far more athletic build, due to his training in the Chivalric Order. He has brown hair that's somewhat spiky with a slight bang that has his forehead covered and green eyes that he inherited from his mother. After his summer training with Elaine in Volume 5, he soon gained a slightly more muscular build than he did before. Due to his generally kind appearance, most of the people he meets usually trust him almost instantly. As an Half-Angel, he has ten white angel wings growing from his back.

Among one of the only three people that were able to unlock the innate ability known as the "War God", which turns his hair blonde and his eyes turn a sharper shade of green.

He had worn various clothing throughout the series, however his most frequent is the Kuoh Academy uniform, which consists of an unbuttoned black blazer that has a badge that represents his status as the president of the Knight of Chivalry Club located on his collar, a white short-sleeved button down dress shirt with black vertical lines, black pants and brown dress shoes.

During his training days within the Chivalric Order, he wore the basic gear that was worn by trainees, which was a light armor, with armor that covers his arms and legs, with a short sword that he had kept strapped to his side. While on he was formerly on assignments for just the Chivalric Order as a trainee, he wore a black school blazer for male students with a white sword/shield knitted on his breast pocket a dark colored undershirt, with black pants and sneakers.

Near the end of Volume 5, like other members of the Knights of Chivalry. During combat, he switched to wearing a green modified short-sleeved jacket with two breast pockets, with the K.O.C President's badge pinned on one of his breast pocket, a black sleeveless shirt with darkish silver lining, black plants that had silver lining with a small holster on his right pants leg and complete with black shoes.

Personality
Similar to his father in his youth, Lancelot is shown to be both kind and brave, he won't hesitate for a second to jump in the middle of any situation no matter how dangerous or how many opponents there are in front of him to save anyone whether he knew them or not. Like other members of the Du Lac Family, Lancelot is incredibly stubborn when it comes to combat and doesn't give up in a fight no matter how strong his opponent is and like most of them he causes unnecessary destruction to property. A lot similar to his mother and uncle, he has no personal dislike towards anyone no matter what race the belong to even if they've Devils or Fallen Angels.

It was also revealed that Lancelot holds great compassion towards the children who grew up within the Chivalric Order, whether it was due to them losing their parents or being abandoned with nowhere else to go. He treats each of them as his little brothers and little sisters, it was also one of the reasons that he had soon decided to learn how to cook good food for them. At times without even trying other children who barely knows him, they can sometimes see him as being a brotherly figure.

Also as both the next head of the Du Lac Family and a Knight of the Chivalric Order, he has great honor and respect for the Code of Chivalry to the letter. However, despite him being the heir of the Du Lac Family, at times he can be both laid-back and carefree, he makes it a habit of falling asleep whenever he gets the opportunity. He falls sleep wherever he can, whether it is on the roof of Kuoh Academy, in the middle of a grass field, or even during the middle of an assignment. Most people sees him as nothing more than a slacker, he can be a brilliant technician and an inventor, he can also sometimes geek out whenever he finds something that greatly interests him.

It was soon revealed that Lancelot possesses a weakness when it comes to fighting against anyone that he sees as being cute, especially when it comes to Nekomata and it impairs his ability to fight against most Youkai. Despite, how laid-back, kind, brilliant he can be, Lancelot has also shown to be completely brutal in combat, this is more shown when he fights in his War God that makes him more susceptible to losing his temper in combat. There have been many times where Lance’s aggression in battle has shocked even those who’ve known him his entire life.

History
Lancelot is the only child of Galahad Du Lac, the former Head Paladin and the Gabriel, an Angel and one of the Four Great Seraph within Heaven, she one of the guardians of the Throne of Heaven. Before his birth, due to his mother being an Angel, she had to conceive him within the confines of a hospital that was located within Heaven. Most of his childhood, Lancelot grew up in Kuoh Town even attending the elementary school located in his hometown.At the age of five, it was soon revealed that not only did he inherit his father's ability as a Knight, but he also inherited the ability to understand and use magic equations and calculations, which led to him being known as the generation Magic Knight.

While growing up in Kuoh Town, he later befriended both Issei Hyoudou and Irina Shidou, whose parents knew each other when they were training in the Chivalric Order before Issei's parents had eventually retired. The three of them would usually hang out in the parks playing Heroes together and swordplay. Even though Lancelot liked spending time with his father and his two best friends, he missed spending time with his mother, who was busy with her duties as a Seraph. So his father decided to give him a 'Special Mission' that had entailed him going to the store for something or him 'accidentally' running into Gabriel. During the short time that they spent together, Gabriel would hold Lancelot in her arms, while she flew in the air using her twelve snow white angel wings.

Soon at the age of seven, Lancelot had eventually left with his father to go to the Chivalric Order to start his training as a Knight. Almost a year after he was in the Order of the Knights, he had eventually met up with the adoptive daughters of the Paladin, Naomi Shirogane; Yumi and Jeanne D' Arc, the girl who inherited the spirit of the Saint, Joan of Arc. During his sword training, he would normally be spied on by the kids who living inside of the orphanage located in the Order. After noticing them hiding, he would just stop and began telling them about life in the outside world and he would listen to the dreams that each of them had. Afterward, he later started to constantly visit the children within the orphanage, which had later caused him to become known as (Aniki by the boys) and (Onii-Sama by the girls). He later began to learn how to cook, so he could fix whatever good cuisine that they wanted to try and eat. While working as a Knight of the Chivalric Order, he was partnered with a female Magician from the organization known as Grauzauberer, Lavinia Reni, a wielder of the Longinus, Absolute Demise.

The Green-Eyed Magic Knight Returns
""As a Knight of the Chivalric Order, I shall protect the Innocent and the weak without fail.
