Biography

Ambush of King Smudge's men

Jester narrated the story to the player that King Smudge sent his knights to ambush the village, including the castle. He and McBeard's Good Knights were thrown out by one of the evil king's men, locking up King McBeard. Later, he finds a brave knight named McDuff.

Meeting McDuff

Jester meets McDuff in the town and informs him that King Smudge has taken over the castle and imprisoned King McBeard in the dungeon.
