The Fair Gwen is Freak's mother.  She is a beautiful woman and Max and Freak started calling her the title.  Freak likes the whole idea of King Arthur and the Knights of the Round Table.  He calls trips that the boys make together quests.  Freak teaches Max about quests and King Arthur and the fair Queen Genevieve.
