    He was the king of [[Gallowmere]] in the 13th century. He liked stories of heroism and [[Sir Daniel Fortesque|Dan]] was good at telling such stories, which is why he eventually appointed [[Sir Daniel Fortesque|Dan]] a knight and the head of the royal battalion. Some time after this, Zarok's terrific experiments on the dead were revealed. The King had Zarok banished because of this. Zarok soon built an army of demons, which he wanted to use to take over Gallowmere. The King sent his militia led by Dan to defeat this army. Daniel, however, was the first to fall in battle. Realising his subjects needed to feel safe and to honour Dan's memory, Peregrin declared that Daniel had defeated Zarok before his demise. A hero's tomb was soon erected to Dan, the history books inscribed with tales of his valour.

    ― King Peregrin to Zarok, according to the history books.

    King Peregrin (c. 1221 – 1286) was the last monarch of Gallowmere. The kingdom prospered under his reign until a famine forced him to hire a new court magician - the evil sorcerer Zarok. Zarok manipulated the King using his magic until the day of the Battle of Gallowmere where Zarok's army of zombies and demons fought the King's Militia. Although the day was won by the King, his champion, Sir Daniel Fortesque, was the first to fall in the battle, greatly embarrassing him. To save face, the King declared Sir Dan a great hero and attributed the day's victory to him. King Peregrin passed away not long afterwards, though not before designing an impregnable box that would house Zarok's nigh indestructible Shadow Demons.

    A hundred years later, the King's ghost would aid his resurrected champion in a quest to defeat Zarok once and for all by helping him destroy the castle and the recently released Shadow Demons with it.

    History

    Early life and reign

    Peregrin ascended to the throne of Gallowmere when he was 15 after the sudden passing of his father. For 50 years, Gallowmere thrived under Peregrin's rule until 1286, when a terrible famine struck. The King tried everything he could to save his people, but the famine would not pass. He tasked his court magician, Mazok the Muddled, to come up with a magical solution, but this backfired and resulted in the creation of a chicken-dragon monster known as the Jabberwocky. In the end, the King had no choice but to accept aid from a newcomer to his court, the sorcerer Zarok. Zarok did resolve the famine and used this fact to install himself as the King's new Court Magician. Under Zarok's counsel (and magical possession), the King would appoint Sir Daniel Fortesque as his new champion.[2]

    War with Zarok

    Soon, an army of undead began its march towards Gallowmere. The King relied on his champion to save the day, though he had doubts about Fortesque being the right man for the job. Those doubts were magically dispelled by Zarok, who planned for Fortesque to lead the charge, dooming the King's army. Peregrin would later be surprised as Fortesque seemingly repelled an attack by the Jabberwocky.

    The day of the battle against the undead, the King awaited Dan and his Court Magician on the field. When Sir Dan finally showed up, the King asked after Zarok as he was surprised by his absence. Dan revealed Zarok's duplicity to Peregrin and boosted the morale of the soldiers by giving a rousing speech. Despite this, Daniel was the first to fall in the battle, although the army was ultimately victorious. Realizing his subjects needed to feel safe and to honor Dan's memory, Peregrin declared that Daniel had defeated Zarok before his demise. A hero's tomb was soon erected to Dan, the history books inscribed with tales of his valor.

    Sadly, Peregrin would pass away a few days later by choking to death on a Brussels sprout, though not before designing a prison for Zarok's Shadow Demons.[1.1]

    As a ghost

    Canonical account

    Daniel encountered King Peregrin's ghost while traveling through the Haunted Ruins on his way to defeat Zarok. After Dan obtained the King's Crown from a room below the throne room and placed it on the throne, the King's ghost suddenly appeared. The King was surprised to see Dan and told him that he must release the lava behind the floodgates to defeat the Shadow Demons that overran the castle ruins.

    Apocryphal account

    Some scholars also believed that Peregrin was one of the four holders of a piece of the Anubis Stone, which he gave to Dan.

    Notes

    1. ↑ Peregrin was crowned at age 15. It is said the kingdom thrived under his reign for 50 years. Canny Tim wins the 49th Gallowmere Games in 1285. Given the odd specificity of this, it is likely the Gallowmere Games first started when Peregrin was crowned, and the 50th year of his reign is going to be 1286, the year of the war with Zarok. Therefore, 1286 - 65. This places his birth c. 1221.
