He was there on the day Lazuli gave her life to save Candia's armies in the Ravening War. She told Theobald that it needed to be done to save their people and the world, and though he did not think anything of it at the time, he believes she may have seen Princess Ruby Rocks and the arcane power she possesses coming. She called down a downpour of arcane arrows, sacrificing her own life, but saving the life of Theobald, as well as the rest of Candia's men. Theobald also fought alongside King Amethar of House Rocks during the Ravening War. Sir Theobald is first introduced as he walks down a corridor in Castle Candy on the morning of the twin princesses' 18th Saint's Day. Sir Toby, a fellow knight, approaches and greets him. Despite every other day that they've spent teaching the twins, they agree that now that they're grown women, today is going to be different. Sir Toby delivers a report on some brigands, as well as rumors of an ogre in Dulcington. He reports that Sir Amanda Maillard, the Queen's Champion, has been sent out to deal with it, and Theobald suggests sending some of their men as well, since they really need a win right now. This is emphasized as they spot two members of the Tartguard tickling each other with their dulled swords, and Theobald scolds them. When he orders them to get new, sharp swords, they throw them out the window. The royal herald, Poncival Pishpuff appears and asks if Theobald is ready to escort the princesses to the ceremonies festivities of the day. He agrees, but when the Herald calls for them, no one appears. He calls again, and still no one answers. Theobald and his forces (very loudly) take the knee in preparation for them being there, but once again, the princesses do not arrive. The Herald suggests that they could still be tied up in lessons with Chancellor Lapin Cadbury, as he tends to ramble, and Theobald agrees. ![]() In the tallest tower in Castle Candy, Chancellor Lapin Cadbury drones on about the history of House Rocks. Theobald enters the room and immediately starts bickering with Lapin about how much they don't like each other. This goes on for several minutes until Sir Toby draws their attention to the fact that the princesses aren't actually in the room anymore. In their place are two scarecrows stuffed with sugar-grass. ![]() The three of them rush to the window to search for them. They follow a series of smashed royal emblems into the town of Dulcington, where they recover the girls.
