History

Percy Sheldrake began his crime-fighting career by becoming Shining Knight's squire. Later becoming the Knight in his own right, he joined the Club of Heroes. His career as the Knight is largely unknown. What is known is that his son, Cyril, took his old identity as the Squire and served as his sidekick. Percy Sheldrake was eventually killed by his nemesis, Springheeled Jack, who forced him to swallow a bomb. After his death, his son took up the identity of the Knight and recruited his own Squire.

Percy and son Cyril change into the original Knight and Squire.
