In 1285, King Peregrin held the 49th [[Gallowmere Games]], an annual contest where the most skilled warriors from the land would compete for top honors. This was the year Canny Tim entered the competition and won top prizes in all the archery categories of the event. The king was so impressed, he made Canny Tim a marksman of a crossbowman part of the cavalry led by Sir Dan, as well as Dan's second in command.{{Bookref|Fates-Arrow}}

After collecting a [[Chalice of Souls]], Daniel can speak to Canny Tim, who tells Dan about killing Lord Kardok (which of course angers Dan, as he was killed by an arrow in the eye as well) and offers him the [[Crossbow|crossbow]] as aid after quickly taking back the remark. Once Dan collects another Chalice, Tim gives him a [[Life Bottle]] without knowledge of its actual use. In ''MediEvil: Resurrection'', Tim never gives Dan a Life Bottle, instead giving Dan the [[Hero's Crossbow]] after collecting 7 chalices.

==Behind the scenes==
===Development===
According to [[Jason Wilson]], the [[The Heroes|Heroes]] were designed very quickly for ''MediEvil'' with some of them being based on the original team members.<ref>{{Cite web|url=https://twitter.com/GunnComics/status/952504158313205760|quote=Those characters were designed really fast, some of them were based on team members.|site=Twitter|title=Jason Wilson|published=January 14, 2018|}}</ref> It is unknown if Canny Tim was based on a team member or not. In a Q&A about the ''[[MediEvil: Fate's Arrow]]'' comic, Chris Sorrell explained his reasoning for making Canny Tim female:
{{Quote|Well obviously the idea is that she always was, but was just hiding the fact in order to fight alongside her male peers. Ok, I admit we never really thought of her that way originally, but to be quite honest none of those guys ever had much depth. I loved some of them nevertheless, and I wanted to give one of my favorites a little more back-story. I liked the idea of doing something a little surprising, of adding another much needed female into the MediEvil world, and, like I say, of fleshing out the character a bit!|Chris Sorrell{{Siteref|MediEvil-Boards|21953|Q&A with Chris Sorrell|February 3, 2020}}}}
