The Grizzled Seer is a minor character in Shovel Knight. This wise old man seems to know more about Shovel Knight's quest than he lets on.
Appearance
The Grizzled Seer appears as a short, hunchbacked, old man with grizzled hair, beard, and ram-like horns. He dons a purple cloak and a staff and, as his name suggests, he is capable of predicting the future.
Story
Shovel of Hope
In Shovel of Hope, the Grizzled Seer can be found in the Village around the far right exit, where he encourages Shovel Knight on his quest to the Tower of Fate. A second Grizzled Seer is seen in the beginning of Frigid Flight, however in a green robe instead of the purple one. This seer is much more disrespectful, mocking Shovel Knight's apparent inability to proceed further the dangerous path.
The Grizzled Seer reappears at the end among the rest of the village, as the Tower of Fate crumbles.
