The cup that caught the blood of Christ at his crucifixion. Jon held a shadow of the cup in his hands during the assassination attempt against Vincit Omnibus and Windsong de Lanseau by The Remarkably Evil Four.

The Grail as a symbol is extremely ambiguous. In Christo-Celtic mythology and the Arthurian Cycles, the Grail represents the highest ideal of chivalry and is obtainable only by the purest knight of all (Sir Galahad). Certain theorists think it to be a code word for the bloodline of Christ carried in the Merovingian line of French Kings. It is sometimes used as a metaphor for the element of water, and may be a later representation of the Cauldron of the Dagda, one of the four treasures of the Tuatha de Danaan (the Irish Fae), along with the Lia Fail, or Stone of Destiny, the Spear of Lugh the Light God, and the Sword of Nuada of the Silver Hand.
