[[File:Medievil2_palethorn.jpg|Concept art of Lord Palethorn by Jason Wilson.|thumb]] | |||
Lord Palethorn was conceptualised by [[James Shepherd]]{{Siteref|MediEvil-Boards|13694|Interview with Jason Wilson|November 3, 2013}} and designed by [[Jason Wilson]]. Jason described Palethorn as a "mix of {{w|Alistair Crowley}} and the {{w|Vito Corleone|Godfather}}."<ref>{{cite web|title=Art and Game Design - MediEvil|site=JASON WILSON - PORTFOLIO|url=http://jasonwilson-folio.blogspot.com/p/art-and-game-design-medievil.html}}</ref> He also listed "the London cockney gangster of popular British mythology" as a basis for the character.{{Siteref|atomic-city|artwork/Medievil2_gallery/med2_palethorn.htm|Palethorn Concept Art}} Jason made an effort to differentiate Palethorn from Zarok but making him wide, square and gruff instead of thin and fey.{{Siteref|MediEvil-Boards|13694|Interview with Jason Wilson|November 3, 2013}} | |||
===Portrayal=== | |||
Palethorn was portrayed by [[Marc Silk]].{{cite}} His voice was described as "deep and authoritative" on the official ''MediEvil 2'' website.<ref name="Lord Palethorn"/> Although Palethorn attempts to speak like an articulate gent, he can't stop his natural London Cockney accent from coming through. This becomes more pronounced in moments of high emotion.<ref name="Lord Palethorn"/> | |||
