Biography

There are few stories from the First Great War as heroic, or as tragic, as that of the Blue Shield. Sworn to Leodysseus, the Blue Shield was tasked with guarding the army’s rear. Besieged by a horde of goblins, these knights knew they could not keep the flood of evil warriors at bay for long. The Blue Shield decided to destroy the tunnels from where their enemies were coming, a plan that would also trap them in the collapse. The knights knew this would be their final act, yet none hesitated in their duty. The tunnels were destroyed, ending the threat of the goblin army in a selfless act of sacrifice that is still honored in Leandorr today.

NOTE: This figure is also known as "Deluxe Knight Builder Kit 3", as it is an update on the original Knight Builder set released in the "Covenant of Shadow" wave
