Lord Palethorn of Shoreditch (né Reggie Pallthrop; c. 1840 – 1886) is the primary antagonist of MediEvil 2.

Story

Background

A successful industrialist, Palethorn embraced the ethics of the Victorian age. He exploited every opportunity and was hungry for wealth and social acceptance. This led to him changing his name from Reggie Pallthrop to Palethorn, joining the Magic Circle and buying the title of 'lord' to make him seem more a part of the establishment. Palethorn believed that Black Magic was the key to obtaining both power and wealth.

In 1878, one month after his expulsion from the Magic Circle for practising Black Magic, Palethorn approached Professor Hamilton Kift about travelling to the Hebrides to locate the last missing pages of Zarok's spell book. After searching the burial grounds, they found the spell book in a tomb located at the northern part of a Hebridean. Once Palethorn took the book from its resting place, the tomb began to collapse. Palethorn shoved Kift aside and abandoned him, escaping the collapsing tomb with the spell book. Using the power within its pages, Palethorn planned on taking over London and eventually, the world.

MediEvil 2

In 1886, Palethorn resurfaced and used Zarok's spell book to unleash havoc in London. The spell resurrected the dead across the city, including the skeletal remains of dinosaurs housed in Kensington museum. Because the spell book was missing some of its pages, Palethorn was transformed into a red-skinned demon with elongated ears as a side-effect. Palethorn then set out to find the missing pages so he could fully control the zombies he had brought back to life. During this time, Palethorn and his lackeys, Dogman and Mander, worked on a machine - the Great Scope - at the Greenwich Observatory. Using the machine, Palethorn hopes to instantly locate all the missing pages of the spell book. However, his plans were foiled by the resurrected hero Sir Daniel Fortesque after he crashed an airship into the Great Scope. Soon after Palethorn built the Iron Slugger and organized a boxing match between himself and Kift's team, with the Egyptian Princess Kiya as the prize. The Iron Slugger was defeated by Dan and Palethorn's plans were thwarted yet again.

Realizing that Sir Dan is becoming more of a nuisance than he had anticipated, Palethorn contacted his ally The Count to help dispose of him whilst he continues his search for the pages. Palethorn finally confronts Sir Dan at the Cathedral Spires and recovers the last page of the spell book from him. Finally in possession of all the pages, Palethorn summoned a demon to destroy Daniel once and for all. Dan managed to outsmart them however by diverting Palethorn's bullets into the demon, which eventually led to his defeat. In a desperate final attempt to kill Dan, Palethorn activated a bomb which ultimately killed him.

In an alternate timeline, Palethorn used the spell book to travel back in time.[3] Dan and Kiya used Kift's Amazing Confabulating Chrono-chair to travel back in time as well where they encountered a monstrous version of this Palethorn in what appeared to be Zarok's Lair.

Quotes

  • Dan: "I'd never join you."
  • Palethorn: "What was that? Could you mumble that again? No... oh well... You two can redeem yourselves. Kill him while I decipher this spell page."

Template:-

  • (to Dan) "Oh you've killed my beloved servants, how tragic. How achingly predictable. Well Daniel it's been fun, but now I'm afraid the game is over and it's time for you to die."
