Sir George is the First Knight blessed with immortality at his birth, having founded the Forever Knights over a thousand years ago. For reasons unknown, George left the order and has been in hiding for centuries. He has a coin with the infinity symbol (∞), the same symbol as the seal that held the Lucubra.

George was born as Georgius in Ancient Rome in 231 AD. He acquired immortality at some point by unknown means, living for over 900 years, before becoming a knight in the medieval era. Sir George forged the seal that kept the Lucubra in the 4th century, and in 1131 he also defeated another inter-dimensional creature known as Diagon with the sword Ascalon, created and gave by Azmuth, because he said that George was worthy enough to wield its terrible power. George carved out Diagon's heart and pinning it to the ground with the sword, he sent it back to its dimension (probably by using magic as stated), becoming the basis for the legend of Saint George and the Dragon.

In the 1930s, he moved to the Bellwood Senior Village and lived there for over 70 years and where he first appeared in "The Creature From Beyond". He had a coin with the same symbol as the seal that held the Lucubra. He somehow knew when the seal was destroyed and left. At the end of the episode he was seen looking at the damaged seal, looking down, and then leaving. In "Prisoner Number 775 is Missing", Sir George arrives at Area 51, where he attacks the guards and removes the base, turning it into a new Forever Knights stronghold.

In "The Purge", Sir George appears during a meeting between Enoch, Driscoll, Patrick and Urian. After a brief fight with Driscoll, he is identified as the founder of the Forever Knights and unites the factions into one. Sir George's first order was the Forever Knights target the aliens living on Earth and remove them whatever way possible. He later sends Driscoll to lead the Forever Knight soldiers into attacking an alien air-lift area that Ben was guarding. Upon learning of Driscoll's defeat, Sir George is not disappointed as it was just a distraction for a bigger plan. Sir George has Driscoll lead the Forever Knights while he is away and to have the Forever Knights ready upon his return, "for the battle of 100 lifetimes". Sir George has been on a quest for several days since it to find Ascalon and Diagon's heart so that he might destroy the heart. Using a long series of calculations, Sir George found when and where the shrine that holds the sword and heart would appear next. Through the Flame Keepers' Circle and Vilgax hindered his quest, George reclaimed Ascalon and was restored to his youthful self as he prepares the Forever Knights for an epic confrontation against Diagon while promising to give Ben the sword should he fail to stop the menace.

In "Beginning of the End" and "The Ultimate Enemy", when the Flame Keepers' Circle make their move, George goes to Diagon's cave and he finds Vilgax breaking the seal before battling him after killing Conduit Edwards. But once Vilgax freed Diagon, George is killed by him and Ascalon goes to Ben's possession where he finished what he started. In the end, Ascalon returned to Azmuth alongside the Ultimatrix.
