Captain Fortesque: Difference between revisions

Dan was born in the kingdom of [[Gallowmere]] in 1254 as the eldest son of [[Lord Cedric Fortesque]]. Dan was a spoilt and bratty child who grew up to be a lazy, arrogant teenager. Daniel decided to become a knight solely to impress the maidens. He trained with the best weapons masters in the land, showing a degree of natural talent, but was too lazy to ever deliver on his potential. No matter! With daddy's money behind him, he rose through the ranks of the [[King Peregrin|king]]'s army. And then one day the king's champion, his horse spooked by a toad, was thrown head-first into a well where he promptly drowned. Against all good sense, the king - listening solely to the words of a [[Zarok|new advisor]] - appointed Daniel to be the new Captain of his army.

===''MediEvil: Fate's Arrow''===

Captain Fortesque is first seen by his undead future self while he is out hunting. The Captain decides to return to the castle to pay a visit to [[Widow Lucinda]] so he can mooch money off of her. His plan is interrupted when the guards at the gates tell him that the king wishes to see him at once.

In their meeting, the king reveals that the army of the undead is marching upon the castle and that they will reach it within a day. The Captain promptly excuses himself as he has wet his pants.

Some time later, the Captain is waiting for Widow Lucinda in his bedchambers. He is startled when the undead Dan walks in instead. [[Griff]], the undead Dan's fairy companion, tries to fajazzle the Captain, but fails, so the undead Dan knocks him out.

The night before the battle, the Captain tries to escape from the castle. However, he is captured by the Griff and his sister [[Noreen]] who fajazzles him properly this time, leaving the Captain in a trance-like state. After [[Wartilda]], Noreen's witch friend brews a [[Body Swap Potion]], the Captain is left inside the undead Dan's body who takes his place on the battlefield.

Many years later, in the present day, Daniel Fortesque meets with [[Professor Darrow]] and recounts the story of the Battle of Gallowmere to her. It is unclear whether this is Sir Dan or Captain Fortesque.{{Ref|a|[a]}}
