'''Colonel Freddie Fortesque''' | '''Colonel Freddie Fortesque''' ({{c.|1878}} – 1945) became a soldier of the British Army to fight for Britain like [[medievil:Fortesque family|his predecessors]].

==History== | |||
{{Quote|Pish and Baloney, the Fortesque family have been fighting, man and boy, for old 'Blighty' for over 1000 years, and we've never let a little thing like death get in the way of a good scrap. Why there's a Fortesque on every battlefield in the civilized world, Agincourt, dead, Waterloo, dead, Dunkirk, dead...|Colonel Freddie, ''Ghosthunter''}} | |||
After leaving a haunted school building, [[Ghosthunter:Lazarus Jones|Lazarus]], a ghosthunter, ended up on a ghost ship. As he progressed to the ship's bridge, he met Colonel Fortesque. | |||
The Colonel was quick to explain that he and his men were British soldiers who died carrying the spoils of war to the King in 1945, their death the result of a fight against [[Ghosthunter:Captain Kraken|Captain Kraken]] and his crew over the [[Ghosthunter:Dagger of Poseidon|Dagger of Poseidon]], a cursed treasure recovered from the nazis. Freddie himself killed Kraken during the struggle by stabbing him with the Dagger, but not before Kraken decapitated him with a cleaver. | |||
Even in death, Freddie and his men continued to fight Kraken, who had absorbed his crew and became a ghostly sea monster. The fight was finally over when the [[Ghosthunter:Professor Peter Richmond|Professor]], another ghosthunter, captured the Kraken. However, Kraken reappeared a few years later due to Lazarus’ accidental release of all ghosts the Professor had captured. | |||
Lazarus eventually managed to defeat and recapture Kraken with Freddie's help. He also felt obligated to capture Freddie and his men afterwards, as they were ghosts as well. | |||
