Captain Fortesque was designed by [[Jason Wilson]] for the ''MediEvil: The Game Prequel'' comic in 2018. As a character, he was originally conceptualised by [[Chris Sorrell]] as part of the 2003 ''[[MediEvil 3: 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. However, the idea that Sir Daniel Fortesque was a pompous failure in life originally came from script doctor [[Martin Pond]] during the development of the original ''MediEvil''.<ref>{{cite web|site=The Mean Machines Archive|title=Retro Gamer - The Making of...
