'''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]].

A hundred years later, in 1386, Dan was mistakenly brought back to life by Zarok during the latter's second attempt at conquest. Dan seized this opportunity to live up to his legend and brought down the sorcerer once and for all, gaining access to the afterlife's [[Hall of Heroes]] as a result. | |||
By the late 19th century, Sir Dan's skeletal remains were exhibited in the [[British Museum]] in [[Kensington]], [[London]]. In 1886, he was resurrected once again, this time by the ruthless industrialist [[Lord Palethorn]]. Dan was soon recruited by [[Professor Hamilton Kift]] to help in the fight against this new threat. During his mission to restore peace in London, Dan also found love in [[Kiya]], an ancient Egyptian princess with an adventurous spirit. | |||
The exact fate of the Hero of Gallowmere after his victory over Palethorn is unknown, but several conflicting accounts of the subsequent events have emerged. One such detailed account saw Dan and his newfound love travelling back in time using the Professor's time machine. However, the pair is said to have been tragically separated during their journey, with Dan becoming stranded in 1286, the year of his death. He was then quickly employed by [[Fairies|Gallowmere's fairies]] to help preserve the proper course of history. | |||
Finally, to succeed in his mission, Sir Dan is believed to have ended up [[Body Swap Potion|swapping bodies]] with [[Captain Fortesque|his still living self]]. This allowed him to boost the morale of Gallowmere's army and to die as he once had, therefore securing victory for his men in the war with Zarok while also condemning himself to reliving his undead adventures for eternity. | |||
