Shovel Knight (ショべルナイト, Shovel Knight) is the protagonist of Yacht Club Games' indie title, Shovel Knight.

Character description

Shovel Knight's early days as a knight mostly consisted of him and Shield Knight going on adventures together, and the two seemed to live a happy life. However, that all changed when the two adventured into the Tower of Fate, and a cursed amulet brought forth a terrible magic, knocking Shovel Knight out. When he awoke, the tower was sealed, and Shield Knight had disappeared. This would cause Shovel Knight to go into a deep depression and go into a life of solitude, which, in turn, would cause The Enchantress and The Order of no Quarter to rise. Realizing his job, Shovel Knight would leave his life of solitude and save Shield Knight from the curse.
