Mothert was a famous, royal wizard and former companion of Sir Hugonaut during his knight days.
History
Mothert appeared to be a good personal friend to Hugonaught, good enough that he attended the mans wedding to Princess Aline. After witnessing Squire Alonzo's determination to become a knight, he hatched a scheme. After Alonzo and co had left the wedding, Morther pretended to be an old, grumpy turtle who was stuck on his back. After Alonzo nearly hit him when he threw his sword in the woods, the turtle pleaded for help. Alonzo was quick to the call and spent hours trying to help the turtle and nearly gave up when he found a way to prop the turtle up. Afterwards, Morthert revealed himself and knighted Alonzo for his kindness and hard-working personality.
