Everything changed in 1286, when an army of the undead began marching towards [[The Haunted Ruins|Castle Peregrin]]. Unbeknownst to the king, it was led by his very own court magician Zarok. The king was in desperate need of a hero who could tackle the threat, and he knew exactly who he wanted.

In 1386, Zarok resurfaced and cast a spell called the Evernight, which turned the skies over Gallowmere black and robbed the innocent of their very souls in order to revive the dead. Fortesque was unexpectedly reanimated when magic from the Evernight drifted into his crypt and settled upon his decomposing corpse. <!--This is a bit speculative, no? It is (perhaps intentionally) unclear whether this act was a side effect of the spell, or an unseen force willed Fortesque's revival on its own.-->

Frustrated, Zarok made a last-ditch decision to face the would-be hero one-on-one, transmogrifying into a [[Zarok's Beast Transformation|beastly form]]. The battle was intense, but Fortesque made good on his mission and became the hero he was always meant to be. As Zarok destroyed his own fortress, a [[vulture]] swept Sir Dan in its talons and carried him back to his crypt. For his heroic deeds, Dan had earned a place in the Hall of Heroes, where he remained for the next five hundred years.

====''MediEvil''====
====''MediEvil'' (1998 original)====
Sir Daniel Fortesque was originally conceptualised by [[Chris Sorrell]]; in ''MediEvil''<nowiki>'s</nowiki> initial concept proposal, he was an undead knight referred to as 'Dead Man Dan.'{{Magref|RetroGamer49}} While developing Dan's character, Sorrell was looking for a way to make him more unique. This eventually came in the form of an expanded backstory for Dan when script doctor [[Martin Pond]] suggested that he "could have been a pompous failure in life whose reincarnation was his one shot at redemption."{{Magref|RetroGamer49}}

Sir Dan was designed by [[Jason Wilson]], ''MediEvil''<nowiki>'s</nowiki> lead artist. Initially, Dan was a bulky undead knight with a small skull. As the design evolved, Wilson decided that Dan should have no lower jaw and that his body should be smaller and his skull more abstract.{{Siteref|atomic-city|artwork/Medievil_gallery/medievil_danevolution_concept_design.htm|Dan's Evolution}} For the design of Dan's teeth, Wilson was inspired by one of the freaks from the horror film ''[[wikipedia:Basket Case 2|Basket Case 2]]''.{{TwitterRef|Wilson|1049642128496893954|October 9, 2018|quote=When searching for a look for Sir Daniel Fortesque I had recently watched the horror film “Basket Case 2.” I was impressed with this guy’s teeth!}} Dan was then brought to life in the game by the animations of [[Mitch Phillips]] as well as the full motion video sequences of [[Jason Riley]].<ref name="Dan's Evolution"/>

{{Empty section}}
Initial concepts for ''MediEvil 2'' created by Chris Sorrell saw Dan being replaced by a new protagonist, [[Sir Henry Fortesque]], a recently deceased descendant of Dan's. This would have worked in the style of the British sitcom ''[[wikipedia:Blackadder|Blackadder]]'' (i.e. Henry would've retained Dan's iconic traits).{{Siteref|ProBoards|13209|MediEvil developers - Q&A;|July 23, 2013|quote=I really only had a few high concept ideas in mind for MediEvil 2. These were: that it could be set in Victorian times, but instead of playing as Sir Dan, you would play as Sir Henry Fortesque, a more recently deceased descendent{{sic}} of Sir Dan's (much like the way they reincarnated the same character in the UK TV show Black Adder).|author=Chris Sorrell}} However, it was eventually decided that Dan should be kept as the main character. The Museum where Dan begins the game as one of the exhibits was an idea that Jason Wilson came up with.{{Siteref|ProBoards|13694|MediEvil developers - Q&A;|November 3, 2013|quote=I came up with the British Museum and the exhibits coming to life as well as the Vampires in London amongst other things.|author=Jason Wilson}}
Dan's design was updated by Wilson, who made him more rounded and gave his skull the ability to distort in order to change facial expressions so Dan could show more emotion in the game than he did in the first one.{{Siteref|Wilson-Blogspot}}

Sir Dan's design was reimagined for the 2005 remake, this time by Mitch Phillips, who worked on the original Dan's in-game animations.<ref>{{Cite web|url=https://web.archive.org/web/0/http://www.sofacafe.com/Mitch/content/medievil-resurrection-0|site=Mitch Phillips Portfolio|title=Medievil Resurrection|published=January 9, 2011|retrieved=January 4, 2024}}</ref> Initial concept sketches by Phillips show Dan wearing chainmail over the top of his head, his teeth and neck. Several sketches also show him wearing various helmets. The final in-game and cutscene model was realised by artist [[Angelo Bod]]. Promotional renders featuring Sir Dan were still made by Jason Riley as was the case for the previous two entries.<ref>{{Cite web|url=https://web.archive.org/web/0/http://artificial-lens.com/MediEvilResurrection.html|site=Artificial Lens|title=MediEvil: Resurrection|retrieved=January 4, 2024}}</ref>

'''Sir Dan''' appears alongside [[wikipedia:Sweet Tooth (Twisted Metal)|Sweet Tooth]] from ''[[wikipedia:Twisted Metal|Twisted Metal]]'' and Gex from ''[[wikipedia:Gex (series)|Gex]]'' as one of three unlockable guest stars in the European and North American versions of the game. He replaces the character Cougar from the Japanese version.
=====How to unlock Sir Dan=====
In order to unlock Sir Dan, players have to beat him in versus mode first. However, it is not possible to challenge him straight away; it is necessary to beat all preceding opponents up to and including Mason. Once Mason is beaten, a special cutscene will play showing the guest stars' golf carts arriving, signifying that Sir Dan can now be challenged in versus mode.
In the 2023 re-release of the game, unlocking Sir Dan rewards players with the '''Grip It and Rip It''' silver trophy:

|imagewidth=45
|prename={{Trophy|Silver}}

}}
{{ItemTableEnd}}
While the name of the trophy is a phrase attributed to American golfer [[wikipedia:John Daly (golfer)|John Daly]],<ref>{{Cite web|url=http://www.badgolfer.com/departments/jokes/golf-dictionary-g.htm|site=Bad Golfer|title=Golf Dictionary - What golf terms really mean|quote=To forget about all those "swing thoughts" and take a healthy rip at the ball.

In a comment on PlayStation.Blog, Yacht Club Games developer David D'Angelo revealed that the team considered Sir Dan for a cameo appearance in the game's PlayStation versions. However, they ultimately decided to go with [[wikipedia:Kratos (God of War)|Kratos]] from ''[[wikipedia:God of War (franchise)|God of War]]'' instead because "the team was a lot more excited to tinker with a Kratos moveset."<ref>{{Cite web|url=https://blog.playstation.com/2014/12/06/shovel-knight-digs-into-ps4-ps3-ps-vita-in-2015/#comment-1045122|title=Shovel Knight Digs into PS4, PS3, PS Vita in 2015|author=D'Angelo, David|published=December 6, 2014|quote=Haha, we did discuss Sir Fortesque a little early on!

[[File:MediEvilInAstrosPlayroomConceptArt.jpg|thumb|left|200px|Concept art by Toshihiko.]] According to Team Asobi's Animation Director Jamie Smith, potential cameos were initially sketched out by Toshihiko Nakai, the team's Concept Artist.
