“	With my vast riches, I could buy this whole store! But I forgot my wallet.	”
— The Peacock Gent, Shovel Knight: Shovel of Hope

The Peacock Gent is a minor character in Shovel Knight: Treasure Trove and Shovel Knight Dig. He is a rich dandy interested in fancy clothing.

Appearance

The Peacock Gent is, as the name suggests, a large blue peacock with an orange beak and green, blue, and pink feathers. He wears a large, elegant green and light-orange robed dress.

Story

Shovel of Hope

In Shovel of Hope, the Peacock Gent can be seen in the Armor Outpost, inside the Fancy Shop. When Shovel Knight approaches him, he claims to be rich enough to buy the store, but forgot his wallet. He asks Shovel Knight if he can loan him money so he can buy a hat. If Shovel Knight does, the Peacock will be surprised that his ploy worked, and will leave the outpost. He returns after the commotion with Mr. Hat.

The Peacock Gent reappears in Pridemoor Keep in the ending, among the reformed court of King Pridemoor.

Plague of Shadows

In Plague of Shadows, the Peacock Gent can be seen in the Fancy Shop. He flees with the rest of the townsfolk when Plague Knight attacks the Armor Outpost, and boards the Aerial Anvil during his escape.

He also appears in the ending in Pridemoor Keep, observing King Pridemoor honoring Plague Knight for his feats.

Specter of Torment

In the ending of Specter of Torment, the Peacock Gent can be seen fleeing from the Fancy Shop as the forces of the Enchantress attack the Armor Outpost.

King of Cards

In the ending of King of Cards, Peacock Gent can be seen entering the newly relocated Fancy Shop, perusing its wares.

Shovel Knight Dig

In Shovel Knight Dig, Peacock Gent can be found walking around the camp in the Surface, somewhat lamenting the fact that the riches found in The Well have attracted such a big group of wannabe prospectors.

Shovel of Hope Dig Talked to in the Armor Outpost "Peacock Gent: With my vast riches, I could buy this whole store! But I forgot my wallet. Oh! Upstanding knight! You could part with a paltry 1000 gold, no?" Refusing to lend money "Peacock Gent: Surely you're in a similar situation, friend? You forgot your wallet too, yes?" Lending money "Peacock Gent: Wow, thanks! I can't believe that worked!" Returning to the Fancy Shop after defeating Mr. Hat "Peacock Gent: I just love coming to this fancy store. It makes me feel so... Fancy! " Walking around camp "Peacock Gent: The tunnel network beneath here is ludicrous! All that lucre, waiting to be looted by some opportunist. Pah! It's a circus, I tell you."
