====Death==== | |||
{{Quote|I'll show you!|Sir Dan rebutting disparaging comments made against him.}} | |||
In death, Dan had become a different man, a better man (or skeleton). In the pursuit of redemption for his ignoble death, he was able to overcome his cowardice, facing Zarok's fiercest monsters, including the sorcerer himself. He had also become more selfless and heroic; he saved the imprisoned [[The Town Mayor|town mayor]] and a group of [[Captured Farmers|captured farmers]] from Zarok's henchmen and made sure to not harm the possessed inhabitants of Gallows Town. In other words, he had finally lived up to his legend. This transformation of character was fuelled by the mocking comments of Gallowmere's [[Information Gargoyles|gargoyles]] and [[witches]], as well as the [[The Heroes|heroes]] from the [[Hall of Heroes]]. | |||
Despite having reformed, Dan did not always place duty above all else, as became evident in 1886 when he fell in love with Princess Kiya. After her death at the hands of The Ripper, Dan selfishly abandoned his mission to stop Lord Palethorn until he managed to find a way to bring her back to life. However, Dan made the ultimate, selfless sacrifice in the end by travelling back in time and trapping himself in a time loop in order to defeat Zarok across all of time. | |||
