== Background ==
The Blacksmith works in the Blacksmith Shop, where he works with his mate Old Ned. In the Captain Indigo comics, Polka Dot lands in his shop after being catapulted away to escape the Black Falcons, and he assures her that he is no friend of the Black Knight. He gives her a hood to disguise herself as Old Ned before the Black Falcons arrive. The Wizard of Avalon orders the Blacksmith to pack his tools and look after their horses while they attack the Crusaders. During the attack, Polka Dot and the Blacksmith charge at the Wizard and the Black Falcons, knocking them down with a LEGO plate and defeating them.
