Cei is one of the most important members of King Arthur's court. He is often the first to greet newcomers to the court and is extremely courteous. Cei is a tall, handsome man, whose prowess is second only to Arthur's. A wound from his sword was a death sentence
In later tales, Cei is presented in a completely different manner. He appears as surly, rude, hot-tempered man, sneering at newcomers and behaving in a condescending manner.
