''[[MediEvil: Resurrection]]'' is not considered a mainline ''MediEvil'' game on the ''MediEvil Wiki''. This is due to it having many storyline changes that are ultimately irreconcilable with the original game and its more faithful 2019 remake. Examples of such changes include the replacement of [[Morten the Earthworm]] with [[Al-Zalam]] and the introduction of the [[Anubis Stone]].

{{Quote|Some scholars offer an alternative tale of Dan's resurrection. Among other things they claim that when first reanimated, Dan had a cantankerous one-eyed 'genie' hanging out inside his skull.

While the Colonel is not strictly canon to the ''MediEvil'' universe, it is acceptable to mention him and the references he makes on relevant pages, such as the [[Fortesque family]] article.
