Sir Henry Fortesque was Chris Sorrell's original idea for MediEvil 2's protagonist created during the development of the first game. He was meant to be a deceased descendant of Sir Daniel Fortesque. He is described as wearing a tattered Victorian cape, top-hat and monocle in an early design sketch.[1] A sketch matching this description can be seen in the released game's credits.
According to Jason Wilson, Henry's final design ended up in the final game as the Victorian outfit.[2]
Behind the scenes
Name
Henry is a masculine given name derived from Old French Henri or Henry, which is derived from the Old Frankish name Heimeric, from Common Germanic “Haimarīks” (from *haima- "home" and *rīk- "ruler"). In Old High German, the name was conflated with the name Haginrich (from hagin "enclosure" and rich "ruler") to form Heinrich.

"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 of Sir Dan's (much like the way they reincarnated the same character in the UK TV show Black Adder). I had a sketch I'd done late one night while working on M1 of Sir Henry wearing a tattered Victorian cape, top-hat and monocle." — Sorrell, Chris, MediEvil developers - Q&A; on MediEvil Boards.

I believe at this point that the hero wasn't even Dan Fortisque[sic] but an ascendant[sic] of Dan's - a rather dapper skeleton in a top and tails (I forget his name). This revision might have been too similar to Jack Skellington but we ran with the idea for a while. The final design of this character did end up in Med' 2 as the Victorian outfit that Dan gets to wear." — Wilson, Jason, MediEvil developers - Q&A; on MediEvil Boards. Published November 3, 2013.
