— The Fearful Prisoner, Swords and Sandals II: Redux


The Fearful Prisoner is a recurring character in the Swords and Sandals series.

The Fearful Prisoner
Best known as the first opponent many gladiators fought during the Emperor’s Reign, the Fearful Prisoner had the unfortunate honour of being voted Least Likely to Succeed in the Emperor’s dungeon. His was a sad tale. Once known as Kevin, he was part of a senior citizen’s tour group visiting the Arena at Doomtrek. He wandered off from the group and found himself locked in gladiatorial combat. Miraculously he survived the bout, only to be seized by the Slave Driver and shackled in chains under the arena, where he remained until Antares’ downfall. When the Emperor’s reign ended, he found himself aimless and in need of coin. He spent time with a roving band of mercenaries and bandits before abandoning them and moving to Shackleford where he worked as a barman for several years, though it was barely enough to afford a roof over his head. Near destitution, he summoned the last of his strength and travelled to the Cliffs of Carnage an old, old man.

Resilient for an old timer, he showed surprising promise as a magic user thanks to the many wizards who spent time with him enslaved at Doomtrek. Upon entering the Gladiae Ultratus, he racked up 23 victories in a row, rocketing up the arena rankings to become the first (albeit lowliest) of the Arena Champion in the arena.

After the Gladiae Ultratus ended, he used his considerable earnings to set sail to the west. He disembarked at Westerviolet where he lived out his final days in comfort and peace.

Although difficult, it is possible for The Fearful Prisoner to defeat the player by causing him to charge via an angering taunt. Doing so will still grant the player 2500 gold and, upon entering a duel, the player will be pitted against The Fearful Prisoner again, essentially duplicating the starter gold.
