Sir Ivon

Ivon

NICKNAMES:

Gunther calls him "Beef Brain".

JOB DESCRIPTION:

Knight of the Kings Guard.

IVONS HISTORY:

No one knows the true history of Ivon before he arrived at the castle. He has told Jane and her friends many tales of his adventures, battles, and lady friends. But all the stories conflict with each other and Jane suspects none of them are close to the truth. Jester discovered that Sir Ivons surname means "son of fire." Dragon thinks the knight is an insult to fire.

In 792 Ivon arrived in Kippernium to participate in a Royal Tournament. He came dressed as a knight with all the right papers, a fine horse, and a squire. He proved to be a great opponent in the arena and impressed Sir Theodore with his skills and courage. Sir Ivon stayed on in the village for a short while, got into serious debt with the tavern, and has remained in service to the King to pay off his bills.

FAVORITE FOOD:

Meat. The redder the better.

AMBITION:

He wants to be remembered as a great warrior and wants to lead an army to a great victory. Sadly for Ivon, he has arrived in the kingdom at a time of peace and stability.

FAVORITE SONG:

Sir Ivon likes tavern songs. His current favorite is the Halter Polka.

We are Knights of the Guard,

We are rough and we are hard,

When we rattle into battle

We can terrify the cattle.

We can down a dozen flagon,

We can joust with any dragon.

But when we get the chance,

We like to dance.

At this point in the song Sir Ivon jumps onto the nearest table and starts to dance. It is quite a sorry sight.

FAVORITE PASTIMES: Devising new weapons of war. He has devised dozens in his years at the castle. None of them work.
