'''Timberly'''{{Bookref|Fates-Arrow}} (born '''Kimberly'''), better known as '''Canny Tim''', was the first hero [[Sir Daniel Fortesque|Dan]] met in the [[Hall of Heroes]] and his former second in command. | |||
==History== | |||
===Life=== | |||
====Canonical account==== | |||
In 1285, King Peregrin held the 49th [[Gallowmere Games]], an annual contest where the most skilled warriors from the land would compete for top honors. This was the year Canny Tim entered the competition and won top prizes in all the archery categories of the event. The king was so impressed, he made Canny Tim a marksman of a crossbowman part of the cavalry led by Sir Dan, as well as Dan's second in command.{{Bookref|Fates-Arrow}} | |||
A | A year later, Tim killed [[Zarok]]'s champion, [[Lord Kardok]], in the [[Battle of Gallowmere]] by shooting him in the eye from a thousand yards away, thus earning a place in the [[Hall of Heroes]] after death. | ||
====Apocryphal account==== | |||
According to [[MediEvil: Resurrection|one account]], Tim's death came prematurely at the hands of Zarok himself.{{Gameref|MPSP|[[Hall of Heroes (MediEvil: Resurrection)|Hall of Heroes]]}} | |||
== | ===Afterlife=== | ||
====Canonical account==== | |||
After collecting a [[Chalice of Souls]], Dan spoke to Canny Tim, who told Dan about killing Lord Kardok (which annoyed Dan, as he was killed by an arrow as well) and offered him the [[Crossbow|crossbow]] as aid after quickly taking back the remark. Once Dan collected another Chalice, Tim gave him a [[Life Bottle]] without knowing how to use it. | |||
====Apocryphal account==== | |||
Other sources claim that Tim never gave Dan a Life Bottle but instead gave him the [[Hero's Crossbow]] after collecting seven Chalices. | |||
===Aiding Fortesque=== | |||
In 1286, Canny Tim helped the undead Sir Dan thwart Zarok's attempt at conquering [[Gallowmere]] through the living Dan's incompetence. Tim procured [[Dirk Steadfast]]'s [[Magic Sword]] for Dan to help slay the [[Jabberwocky]] attacking King Peregrin's Castle and later heleds Dan fight off an attack by Zarok. Tim also revealed that she is female, cross-dressing in order to be allowed into the king's army. | |||

According to [[Jason Wilson]], the [[The Heroes|Heroes]] were designed very quickly for ''MediEvil'' with some of them being based on the original team members.{{TwitterRef|Wilson|952504158313205760|January 14, 2018|quote=Those characters were designed really fast, some of them were based on team members.}} It is unknown if Canny Tim was based on a team member or not. In a Q&A about the ''[[MediEvil: The Game Prequel]]'' comic, Chris Sorrell explained his reasoning for reconceptualising Canny Tim as a female character: | |||
{{Quote|Well obviously the idea is that she always was, but was just hiding the fact in order to fight alongside her male peers. Ok, I admit we never really thought of her that way originally, but to be quite honest none of those guys ever had much depth. I loved some of them nevertheless, and I wanted to give one of my favorites a little more back-story. I liked the idea of doing something a little surprising, of adding another much needed female into the MediEvil world, and, like I say, of fleshing out the character a bit!|Chris Sorrell{{Siteref|MediEvil-Boards|21953|Q&A with Chris Sorrell|February 3, 2020}}}} | |||

==Trivia== | |||
*Canny Tim is the only hero not mentioned in [[MediEvil_books#Book_5_-_HEROES_FROM_HISTORY:_A_Retrospective|HEROES FROM HISTORY: A Retrospective]], due to not being recognized as a hero outside the Hall of Heroes. | |||
*In [[MediEvil books|HISTORY OF GALLOWMERE - Volume 4]], it is written that Tim died in the first volley of arrows. However, this is actually how Sir Dan died instead. | |||
*[[wiktionary:Canny|Canny]] has several meanings, but given Tim's English accent, it is likely intended as an affectionate nickname. | |||
*Being Dan's second in command, Tim does not insult Dan like the other members of the Hall of Heroes, at least not intentionally. | |||
*Tim knows how to play the lute, as seen at [[14AV|the end]] of ''MediEvil''. | |||
