47. Sir Daniel Fortesque (MediEvil) - https://imgur.com/ywyshhk

Looking straight out of a Tim Burton movie, Sir Daniel Fortesque instantly charms with his big grin, missing lower jaw, thin, bony look, and his mumbly speech pattern due to obvious reasons.

Of course, Sir Dan didn't start out this way. He was a quite normal human being like you or me. Best friends with Gallowmere's king, Sir Dan was quite the storyteller and his stories of slain dragons and perilous adventure got him the position as head of the royal army. When it came time to prove his worth however, Sir Dan was proven quite the liar, ill-prepared and felled with the first arrow of the war.

This sets up the perfect redemption arc for Dan when he's inadvertently resurrected by Zarok's magic, along with legions of the undead. This time, Dan can change history and become the hero he was always destined to be. It's a simple but classic story, and the heightened cartoony nature of Sir Dan's reanimated corpse brings bonus charm and a nice supernatural twist to the typical hero's journey. Whilst nearly everyone in the Hall of Heroes and the land of Gallowmere sees Dan as a failure, a coward, and a liar, Fortesque is slowly able to win them over and prove his deniers wrong. It's compelling and relatable, even towards a walking skeleton missing an eyeball and lower jaw.

In one way or another, Sir Dan has persisted in the gaming world, becoming an unlikely mainstay in the Sony stable over the years, with cameos in games like Hot Shots Golf and a spot on the roster in PSASBR, and a remaster of the first game coming very soon. I for one am very glad Sir Dan has the staying power he has, and I hope to see his smiling grin and steely determination for more years to come.
