'''Sir Daniel Wigginbottom Fortesque IV''' (born 1254), better known as '''Captain Fortesque''', is the cowardly living version of the legendary [[Sir Dan]]. Originally destined to die a failure at the [[Battle of Gallowmere]] as part of [[Zarok the Sorcerer]]'s evil scheme, his fate was changed when his future self took his place in the battle using a [[Body Swap Potion]], trapping the Captain in a skeletal body. Hundreds of years after the fact, the Captain would recount the story to [[Professor Darrow]] of Cambridge Archaeology. | |||

As a character, he was originally conceptualised by [[Chris Sorrell]] as part of the 2003 ''[[MediEvil 3]]:'' [[Fate's Arrow (2003)|''Fate's Arrow'']] concept pitch that the comic was based on. Captain Fortesque's eventual role in the comic ended up being largely similar to his role in the concept pitch. 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...
