As the strongest soldiers in the Holy Britannian Empire, the Knights of the Round each possess a high-end, personalized Knightmare Frame as a symbol of their status. As the Knight of One, the formal leader of the Rounds and the Emperor's personal bodyguard, Bismarck Waldstein possesses a Knightmare Frame matching both his massive frame and his incredible skill: the RZA-1A Galahad. The Galahad's design shows an obvious lineage leading back to the IFX-V301 Gawain, both in its outward appearance and the fact that it is nearly twice as large as most standard Knightmare Frames. Besides its finger-mounted slash harkens, the Galahad's only weapon is a massive sword, named "Excalibur" by Emperor Charles himself. The Excalibur, larger still than the Galahad itself, can emit an energy field which allows it to cut through even the strongest beam weapons, even one as powerful as the XT-404 Shen-Hu's baryon cannon. Bismarck uses his incredible skill and the Galahad's power to dominate the battlefield, until the sudden rise to power of the 99th Britannian Emperor Lelouch vi Britannia. Bismarck, fiercely loyal to the late Charles, leads a direct attack on the imperial capital of Pendragon to bring the usurper to justice, but is defeated in single combat with Emperor Lelouch's own bodyguard, Knight of Zero Suzaku Kururugi. Suzaku's skill, the power of his new Z-01Z Lancelot Albion, and the unpredictability of his fighting style while under the influence of the Geass overwhelm him.
