Captain Fortesque: Difference between revisions

Captain Fortesque was designed by [[Jason Wilson]] in 2008 for the ''MediEvil: Fate's Arrow'' comic. He was originally conceptualised by [[Chris Sorrell]] as a major character in the 2003 [[Fate's Arrow (2003)|Fate's Arrow]] concept pitch, where his role was largely similar to that in the ''MediEvil'' comic. 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...
