King Peregrin's Champion

King Peregrin's Champion was Sir Daniel Fortesque's predecessor as the Captain of the Militia. Little is known about him beyond the nature of his death. The King's Champion died after his horse was spooked by a toad, causing the horse to throw him into a well where he drowned. It is likely that his death was orchestrated by Zarok, who wanted to install Sir Dan as the King's new champion in order to demoralise and doom the king's army in the Battle of Gallowmere.
