- ‘‘ Of all the tales in all the kingdoms in all the Woods, you had to walk into mine. ’’
- —Tedros
Tedros is a sixteen-year-old prince, the son of King Arthur and Queen Guinevere, and the supposed heir to the throne of Camelot until an imposter pulled the sword from the stone. He is a former student of the School for Good and the School for Boy. He is bisexual, as shown through his relationship with Sophie's male alter-ego Filip in the second book in the series. He briefly took the position of the School Master during his second year and is currently married to Agatha.
Physical appearance[]
Tedros is described as the most handsome boy in the School for Good, with blue eyes, high cheekbones, thick lips and a halo of golden blonde hair. He's also described as being tall and having skin that was said to be the color of desert sand. It is implied that he is muscular and well-built with broad shoulders and strong arms.
Like all the other Everboys, he wears a blue sweater with an embroidered white swan when playing rugby and wore blue chain-mail mesh armor during the Trial by Tale. When he was talking to Agatha about Sophie becoming a witch after swordplay, he wore a blue sleeveless shirt.
At the Circus of Talents, Tedros wore creamy white breeches and a lace-up royal blue shirt.
After being transformed into a hideous Never by Sophie, he was described as having the appearance of a bald, scrawny man with a scarred face and a very shiny head.
In order to infiltrate the School for New Evil, he became Essa, a broad-shouldered and golden tanned girl with glimmering blue eyes, a small button nose and long, poorly-dyed black hair. As Essa, Tedros was noted to be quite beautiful by Sophie, but for the way he walks.
At his coronation, Tedros wears his father's old coronation gown.
In Quests for Glory, the book states that Tedros became extremely muscular for all of his time working out in order to become fit enough to pull Excalibur from the stone. At one point, he wears knee-length black socks and cut off breeches as his workout outfit. Later on, he wear beige breeches and a grey hooded shirt. While meeting up with Agatha in the Celestium, he wears a sleeveless white undershirt, pajama shorts and his crown. At Beauty and the Feast, he wears a borrowed blue tuxedo with a gold bowtie.
In One True King, Tedros dies his shirt blue with cotton candy and hides his hair under a mop of blue spun sugar. Later on, Merlin states that Tedros isn't tall.
He is notorious for not wearing a shirt.
At his wedding to Agatha, he wears a white-and-gold suit with matching white boots.
Personality[]
At first, Tedros is made out as stuck up, cocky, (as said by Hester herself in the chapter he was introduced) and overly sure of himself. Like the other Evers (besides Kiko), he also judged Agatha as a witch and mocked her friendship with Sophie. It's also shown that despite constantly complaining about it he loves the attention he gets and actually makes a point of flaunting his assets, due to the fact that he's Good's heartthrob and King Arthur's son. However, beneath his self-assured, bold, exterior lies a loyal, kind and brave heart. Because of witnessing his mother's unfaithfulness as well as being loved by most of the Good girls only because of his looks and never because of who he is, Tedros is actually scared and unsure whenever it comes to love until the spark between him and Agatha ignited. It's also shown that Tedros is very gentlemanly (such as when he tried to shake hands with Agatha when they first met) at times.
During the events of book 2 Tedros became quite resentful and bitter towards both Agatha and Sophie because Agatha chose Sophie and not him, it made him feel that he was not enough for her even though he still loves Agatha very much. Because of this, it made him appear quite possessive and obsessive, willing to do anything as long as Agatha didn't leave him again.
In the third book, Tedros became quite bossy and lazy because because he was used to a princely life he had never done housework before.
In the 4th book he gains quite a ego and isnt able to realize he has to prove he deserves the throne and birthright wasnt enough to make him a good king
In the 5th book we see a more determined Tedros who was sassy even when it would end up with him getting hurt more like when Rhian tried to offer Tedros a surrender and he said he would rather give Rhian his head then surrender
In the 6th book we see a confident Tedros who would do anything to keep Agatha safe from Japeth even if it meant risking himself for her like the third to last chapter.
Biography[]
Early life[]
Tedros is the son of King Arthur and Queen Guinevere. Guinevere left Arthur and Tedros for Lancelot (Arthur's trusted knight and friend) when he was at the mere age of nine. This broke King Arthur's heart, which contributed to Arthur's untimely death soon later, as the King turned to "drink and despair", and reportedly killed at the Four Point when gone there unprepared to stop the war between the Ever and Never kingdoms. Tedros never understood why his mother would tell him and his father that she loved them when in the end, she ran off with one of the king's knights, Lancelot. Tedros vowed to never make the same mistake as his father. Tedros blamed his mother leaving on his father and had a strained relationship towards the end of his father's life.
The School for Good and Evil[]
Tedros is first introduced in Chapter 5, "Boys Ruin Everything". When he first enters the Theater of Tales in Chapter 5, everyone stares, and it is said that "The Princes finally had a King." This is where we learn of Tedros's heritage as the son of King Arthur, as Hester tells Sophie by pointing out Excalibur. Tedros is probably the most handsome boy in Good. He attracts all the Evergirls, except for Agatha, who is quoted as hoping "he would impale himself" with his own sword.
After Agatha and Sophie figure out the riddle that they get from the School Master, they find out that the answer is "True Loves Kiss", and they decided that Sophie is supposed to be the Good student. She must prove to Tedros that she is Good, so he will kiss her, and Agatha and Sophie can return home. But when Tedros tries to kiss Sophie, she turns away and tells him that they should wait. This is when Agatha realizes that Sophie doesn't want to go home, she wants to stay with her prince, and she is furious with her friend.
From the first time they saw him, both Beatrix and Sophie fell head over heels for Tedros. Both of them fought over him, spreading rumors about one another and talking behind each other's backs, revealing each others' hate towards one another. Beatrix is very clingy to Tedros, she even goes so far as to name her pet Teddy the bunny after him. At the Trial of Tales when Sophie wouldn't come out to save him because she didn't want him to see her naked, and in the end, Agatha saved him. But in the end, his true princess is Agatha, who loves him just for being who he is.
Even though it had never been done before, Tedros and Sophie think they are meant to be. Before Sophie and Tedros were together, and she was still trying to win his heart, there were challenges in Surviving Fairy Tales so that the Everboys could find their princess. Every time, Tedros unknowingly picked Agatha, and until Sophie and Tedros broke up, Sophie didn't think much of it. She told Agatha to bug off, to get her own life and stop stealing her prince, and she did. But then, after the Trial by Tale when Tedros thought that she had betrayed him, he realized that he always picked Agatha and that Agatha was his princess all along.
Agatha made a wish to become beautiful, and she did. She started to smile more and brush her hair and takes care of herself, and soon was the most beautiful of all the Evergirls. Tedros started to notice, and he thought about her often. He and all the other boys drooled over her while the girls plotted their revenge and slapped the boys next to them for sneaking looks at Agatha. And she started to feel something when she looked at Tedros, and she even had a dream that someone, whose face she couldn't make out, asked her to the Ever's Snow Ball. And one day, she found out that it was Tedros, and that he was her prince.
Sophie found out too, and she wasn't the least bit excited. In fact, she was furious and started to turn into a witch. She attacked Tedros and the School for Good. She wouldn't talk to Agatha or Tedros unless it was a threat. She told Tedros one day that Princes keep their promises so unless he took her to the ball, he was evil. "I guess that solves the mystery about the attacks," she told him when he didn't reply to her hateful remark.
Agatha had accepted the fact that Tedros was her prince, and so did all the other girls. At the end of the Circus of Talents, Tedros had asked her to the ball, and suddenly every girl had a date. But Sophie screamed like a witch wounding everybody, killing the wolves and fairies except Bane who later on saved Agatha just as she was about to die after Sophie pushed her off, Tedros saw and he screamed.
Tedros and a few other ever boys stood guard so no attacks from Sophie can destroy them.
Tedros along with most of the Evers wanted to go destroy Sophie but Agatha tried to persuade him not to do it by saying that this is what she wanted, at first he tried to listen to her but in the end the Evers went to the school of evil to attack Sophie.
A World Without Princes[]
In this book, we do not meet Tedros until later, but it is shown that because Agatha picked Sophie instead of him, all the ever boys were ejected from the good castle and all the Never girls from the bad. This has led to their being only two schools: the school for girls and the school for boys. Tedros is the head of the school for boys. The two schools are readying for war. When Agatha goes to meet him, he reveals that he has had difficulty sleeping, knowing he wasn't enough for her. She explains that Sophie is her friend and she had to save her she also told him not to ask him to decide between Sophie or him since she would not be able to live if one of them had to disappear from her life . They nearly kiss but Tedros sees Sophie's shadow and insists that she is here. Suddenly, Sophie shoots a spell at both of them. Agatha thinks that Tedros did it and Tedros thinks that Agatha did it.
The Last Ever After[]

They have been captured and sent to the elders, everyone gawked at Tedros because he was a real handsome prince. Tedros admitted that he had sent the attacks on Sophie, Agatha tried to stop him but he already blurted it out.

Trivia[]
- Tedros is supposedly 12-15. However, this is later contradicted as he told Sophie in the second book that when he was 16, he would inherit the castle, meaning he will become the King of Camelot at 16. It is said in The Last Ever After that he is 15, almost 16. During the Last Ever After, it is mostly cold and snowy, suggesting his birthday is sometime in winter. This means he is 14 in The School for Good and Evil, 15 in A World Without Princes and almost 16 at the end of The Last Ever After. In the Last Ever After it is stated that before Agatha and Tedros come to the castle, it is somewhere in between March, therefore making his birthday anytime between March-April. In the fourth book Quests for Glory, Tedros has had his coronation, therefore, he is 16.
- Tedros is actually a very insecure person. Tedros always wonders if he is truly capable of being King of Camelot.
- Tedros has a gold finger glow, the same color as Agatha because she is his true love.
- Lancelot has been said to have given Tedros his first wooden sword.
- Tedros is not one to skip a meal even if he is about to die.
- The name "Arthur" means "bear." Tedros' nickname is "Teddy" as in "Teddy bear."
