Next up is your favorite knight, Sir Robert Gale. He's your favorite for a good reason…not only is he considered one of the best swordsmen in the realm, he has the love of the people, as well; he often donates his winnings to the poor or uses it in outrageous ways. You fondly remember one tournament when Sir Robert tossed a bag of Gold up onto the stage, causing a near riot to break out. He hasn't done that since.
He also employs your father, which might be an even bigger factor in why he's your favorite knight. Your father works as a stablehand for Sir Robert, taking care of his prized horse, Midnight. Your father grew up as a farmhand and has always taken to horses well. It's said that Midnight is the fastest horse in the realm, but also one of the wildest. Other horse trainers and stable hands refuse to work with Midnight, saying she could never be broken in, but that didn't stop your father. He's able to get the horse under control and take care of her like no one else. Sir Robert Gale took notice and hired him immediately.
