'''Sir Daniel Wigginbottom Fortesque IV''' (1254 – 1286), commonly shortened to '''Sir Daniel Fortesque''' or '''Sir Dan''', was a knight of the kingdom of [[Gallowmere]]. Due to his [[Lord Cedric Fortesque|father]]'s influence and a close personal relationship with the [[King Peregrin|king]], Sir Dan became the king's champion and Captain of the army. In 1286, he was charged with leading the militia into battle against the rebelling court magician [[Zarok]] in what would become known as the [[Battle of Gallowmere]]. Ignobly, Sir Dan was killed by the first volley of arrows. The king, unimpressed with Dan's performance, weaved a legend about the felled warrior, declaring him the '''Hero of Gallowmere'''. | '''Sir Daniel Wigginbottom Fortesque IV''' (1254 – 1286), commonly shortened to '''Sir Daniel Fortesque''' or '''Sir Dan''', was a knight of the kingdom of [[Gallowmere]].

Using his father's money and influence, Fortesque was able to rise through the ranks of the king's army. After the king's previous champion had an unfortunate accident while riding his horse, the king chose to appoint Fortesque as the replacement, listening solely to the words of his [[Zarok|new court magician]].{{Bookref|Comic-Prequel|12}} | |||
