BEHOLD. TIS PERCIVAL THE MIGHTY.

Percival, the great champion of the lake. Defender of the snow and Ice. Bane of the Bass. He Slayed the Tyrant Fish King, and pierced his decapitated head onto his spear as a trophy. Observe his many medals of Valour. He earned those from his heroic exploits no the battlefield. He once fought off an entire invasion of the french soldier du sardines, with naught but his fists and his wits. And oh, what a glorious battle that was, though one of the many for which he has earned his place in history as the great defender of fish and snowpeople alike.

He was born melting, alone, on top of the skin of the water in the middle of the lake he defends today. His organs descended from the heavens one spring night onto a lukewarm body of water, brimming with fish in their prime, fish who's thirst for water is never fully quenched. Any lesser snowman-to-be would have given up instantly, but lo, percival persisted. He endured the slow and painful attacks from the ice-thirsty fish as he made his way to shore, where he swore to one day return to the lake and slay the tyrant who would force them into such conditions where fish lived addicted to water. He was found on the shore and taken in by the beetle clan, who too had a vendetta on the tyrant king, for the fish were to hunt the people of the beetle clan daily and mercilessly. They saw no harm in bringing in a snowman, because snowmen do not eat beetles. The beetle clan quickly recognized the great potential Percival possessed, and made a pact with him. If the beetle clan were to train Percival, it would be Percival's sworn duty to protect the eggs of their offspring in the winter months from the fish people. Percival agreed.

When Summer came, Percival trained, under the guidance of the millennial old beetle clan, who too had a vendetta for the fish king's ways of relentlessly hunting their people. For if a snowman is strong enough to survive the summer, A snowman is a strong snowman indeed.

When the cooler months of the Autumn came, Percival thanked the beetle clan, and knowing that they too would one day soon leave him, as the autumn months dictate, left them to prepare himself mentally for the oncoming slaughter. The beetle clan left him with their most prized heirloom, the horned helm of hellfire. They believed that If a snowman could survive the hottest noons of July, He could wield the awesome powers of the fire within. The beetle clan began their pilgrimage to Valhalla. Percival was once again Alone.

By the frozen month of January, Percival was prepared, physically and mentally. He said prayers to the snowlords in the clouds, and left his cove on the shore, to the middle of the lake, now frozen. As he made his way farther out to the lake, fish began to beat the ice under him. It was unclear to Percival if they were cheering him on or trying to break the ice and melt him. Percival assumed they were his allies, desiring freedom from their tyranny. He assumed wrong. No sooner than he made his assumption did the ice break, and send him plunging into the water below, where stood the fish king in all his might. A great battle ensued between two great warriors. Their war cries could be heard from miles away. Percival acknowledged the fish king as a worthy opponent, but landed enough blows to subdue the king, with only minor injuries to himself. He then asked the Fish king why he would treat his kinsmen in the way he did. The King only snarled at his opponent. Percival the mighty impaled the king, and decapitated him. He had won his vengeance.

Now, Percival is the champion, and guardian of the lake. He is the Slayer of the Tyrant fish kin. He is the Bane of the Bass. He spends his winters defending the eggs of his comrades, the beetle clan, and he spends his summers training with them. Ask any snowman about the story of Percival the Great, and they will reply with a warm smile.

Also, He's got a student named Sven the Silencer. He's pretty cool. But, like, he's a kid, and hasn't really done anything great yet.
