Captain Fortesque was designed by [[Jason Wilson]] for the ''MediEvil: Fate's Arrow'' comic in 2018. As a character, he was originally conceptualised by [[Chris Sorrell]] as part of the 2003 ''[[MediEvil 3]]:'' [[Fate's Arrow (2003)|''Fate's Arrow'']] concept pitch that the comic was based on. Captain Fortesque's eventual role in the comic ended up being largely similar to his role in the concept pitch.

{{Note|a|a}} Though the identity of the modern day Dan is deliberately left unclear,<ref>{{Cite web|url=https://twitter.com/GunnComics/status/1194642148110536705|title=Jay Gunn|site=Twitter|quote=That’s a secret for now and up for discussion. :) | |||
It’s something Chris and I had some interesting chats about at length.}}</ref> the original outline for Fate's Arrow had the cowardly Dan stay in his heroic counterpart's undead body. [[Chris Sorrell]] has also confirmed that Sir Dan is stuck in a time loop,{{Siteref|MediEvil-Boards|21953|Q&A with Chris Sorrell|February 3, 2020}} which lends more credibility to the modern day Dan being Captain Fortesque. | |||
