In the the year 451, Attila the Hun swept into Gaul, where he confronted by the Romans and the Visigoths. The Visigoth king, Theoderic, had the superior army–so Attila resorted to sorcery. The wizard Boneyard killed Theoderic with the Sword of Fangs, Theoderic ‘s spirit, stunned by this sudden reversal, was unable to leave Earth. Then in 1993, J.D. Hunt built a suit of battle armor based on Theoderic ‘s armor …and Theoderic’s spirit returned with a vengeance!
He is based on the real Theodoric I , king of the visigoths who fought with the Hunnish king Attila in the battle of Chalons in 451. Theodoric died in the battle historically and his effort contributed to the victory of the roman-goth army and the continuation of christian Europe.
