Sir Humphrey began as an ordinary river hippo until he rescued a drowning knight who, with his dying breath, bestowed his enchanted sword and title to the brave beast. Unlike typical knights who seek glory, Humphrey fights only to protect—his legendary sword can cut through anything except innocent flesh, turning harmlessly dull against the undeserving. The water patterns tooled into his leather armor aren't decorative but magical wards that allow him to breathe underwater while maintaining the weight needed for his devastating charge. Riverfolk claim he can be summoned by children in danger near water, appearing with a splash and a courtly bow before escorting them to safety. His most remarkable quality is his judicial wisdom—villages along the river bring their most difficult disputes to his sandbar court, where his uncanny ability to detect lies has resolved conflicts for generations.
