Hello All you Grail Seekers,
Since you just read Wolfram's Parzival, you all know quite a bit about me. My name is Trevrezent, and I am one of the many uncles of Parzival himself. I gave up my knighthood for a life of poverty and repentance. Young Parzival comes to me to discuss his sins, and I enlighten him fully. He is a body full of sin, for he did not ask the right questions. I am the one who told this youth that his mother died from his grief of leaving home, just as I am the one who told him secrets of the grail. I tell Parzival that he must put his trust in god if he wishes to be forgiven for sin. Likewise, I told him that he actually killed his own cousin when he didn't know. One last piece of information that I tell him is that my brother, his uncle, is the Grail King, who was wounded while jousting with a poisonous spear. I tell him that the reason I gave up my knighthood is because of the wounding of my brother. I try to boldface the point to him that the Grail only selects men of religion.
