History
Little is known about the origin of the faceless blue-clad Shovel Knight. But what is known is that he is an expert adventurer and treasure hunter, alongside his partner, Shield Knight. The two traveled across the world together collecting treasure, amassing a massive amount of gold and having many adventures. However, all that would change when the Tower of Fate came into the picture. Once inside, a mysterious cursed amulet knocked out Shovel Knight and abducted Shield Knight. Despondent over his partner's disappearance, Shovel Knight gave up adventuring and took up farming. In his absence, the villainous Enchantress and her Order of No Quarter took over, and the Tower of Fate opened once more. Knowing it was the only time to search for answers, Shovel Knight took blade in hand and came out of retirement to fight once more.
