Did you have a traditional Knightly power, if so what was it?
Their Knightly ability is to be able to absorb the wound from another and take it on to themselves instead. A self sacrificial power, if the Avatar takes on the scalping of someone it is commonly believed that since it was a willing sacrifice, that the scalp of the Avatar would never be retrievable. This has never been tried.

What do you look for when selecting squires?
A person that is willing to learn, and a desire to see the lands of Chimeron hale and thriving.

What is your squiring process like?
This process is different for each Knight.    

Who is your current  Knight Commander?
The Avatars of Chimeron are a collection of peers and do not have a Knight Commander.  It is the right of the Monarch to elevate a person to knighthood.

Who are your currently active Knights?
Sir Wil Craven McKrye
Dame Cimone
Sir Callin of Folkestone

Deceased In Defense of the Realms

Do you have any interesting stories from your Knighthoods past?
Frequently the Mantle of the Avatar of Chimeon is granted for acts of great courage and self sacrifice.  See  the tales of Sir Lucas throwing himself into a Bain Gate. Sir Callin(Cosmic Ray Gun!)  throwing himself into the Cauldron, sacrificing himself to save the realms. This past year Dame Altana, and Sir Valerie(along with Kiran) sacrificed themselves so the realms could defeat the threat that was Bedlam.
