Talk:Knight Triumphant

Hi all! Here's an update for Knight's time on the Lift. (It also covers a bit of time on the Steaks - to any future Steaks, please feel free to adjust what I have here, it's mostly a placeholder.)

---

Steaking a Claim in Dallas

Triumphant made the decision not to take over for Haley as captain but instead to help train a new captain for the Steaks. That captain ended up being Sam Scandal, who learned plenty under Triumphant’s tutelage. Scandal stepped up to take charge of the team, and Knight decided to continue their mission.

Travels in Tokyo

Before long, they felt a calling to the Tokyo Lift and decided to travel to the team. They got in touch with former Steaks teammate Engine Eberhardt, who agreed to return to Dallas in order to allow Triumphant to spend time in Tokyo.

Only a matter of days after Triumphant joined the team, tragedy struck when Gerund Pantheocide was incinerated. Lift co-captain Yusef Fenestrate declared that the team would be abolishing the captaincy position, and so Triumphant aided Fenestrate in transitioning out of a captain-based structure and into a more collaborative setup.

Triumphant gradually made themself at home in Tokyo, not just as a teammate but as a denizen of the city. They also spent time with former Georgias teammate Ankle Halifax; Triumphant was protective of Halifax, as they reminded them of the late Son Scotch.

Taking it Back to Texas

After two seasons with the Lift, Triumphant was approached by former Steaks teammate Baldwin Breadwinner, who was Super-Roamin’ at the time. There are no direct reports of what transpired between the two of them, but shortly after their conversation, Triumphant became determined to return to the Steaks. Breadwinner roamed away from the Lift, and at the same time, Triumphant returned to Dallas.

Knight is mentioned in one of the new IRMs for Frankie Incarnate. Relevant paragraph is as follows:

"Incarnate became good friends with Knight Triumphant, helping them settle onto the team. The two joined the Steaks about a season apart, both under difficult circumstances, and Incarnate was happy to help them adjust to Dallas. Triumphant, who was more than used to singular entities with multiple bodies, became a close friend to Incarnate."

I would like to propose editing the "Diving to Atlantis" bit of their page.

After returning from the shadowy depths of elsewhere, Knight Triumphant returned to pitch for the Atlantis Georgias. On occasion, a crustacean resembling the fugitive Lobster Knight, known for their role in the Red Lobster Uprising, could be seen pitching during Knight's scheduled games. It is unknown if this is a result of the flux nature of reality in Atlantis, or if Triumphant simply got a friend to play for them on those days. Though they intended to return to their hometown as soon as possible, Triumphant bonded a great deal with the team, growing particularly close with Hercules Alighieri, who was fascinated by Triumphant's historical knowledge. Triumphant was heartbroken by their untimely incineration, and helped the team get through their first incineration of the expansion era.

We plan on updating the remainder of Knight's page and helping contextualize their bouncing back and forth between various teams (and back to the Lovers) as part of a diplomacy mission across the league. We plan on leaving spots in the updates for Steaks and Georgias to supply whatever lore they would like for Knight's time on their respective teams.

We will also make mention of how this impacted the Captaincy issue on our team as we constantly rotated in/out captains in Knight's absence.

Just a couple paragraphs:

• Knight Triumphant spent much of season 13 learning, you know, Spy stuff.
• Triumphant now often "accidentally" ends up in the right place at the right time so people don't isolate themselves.
• Triumphant probably didn't actually sabotage anything to make two people resolve their differences while fixing it. Probably.
