Biography

Sean Dolan was a male human born on Earth where he became an orphan in the Ireland countryside. (Black Knight v2 #4) One day, a group of individuals including Victoria Bentley, the Black Knight, and Captain Britain approached him where Sean greeted them. When he recognized Captain Britain as British, he fled and accidentally fell off a cliff, leaving the Black Knight to save him on winged Valinor's back. After Captain Britain left, Sean pointed out nearby bizarre lights to them. Sean and Victoria watched as the Black Knight fought the attacking Dreadknight. Captain Britain intercepted a deadly blast meant for the Knight, inspiring Sean to help Victoria get the Knight's helmet placed on the Knight's almost petrified form. The newly mobile Black Knight defeated Dreadknight, and Sean agreed to help the others find Morgan le Fay's castle. (Black Knight v2 #2) Sean went with the Knight and Victoria to America to seek Doctor Strange's aid. After fending off a brief trap, they entered Strange's manner and were introduced to him, and when the heroes moved to track down Morgan they opted to leave Sean behind. Sean refused, and jumped through the portal after them. They found Morgan and Mordred there before the villains summoned Balor through the Evil Eye. Sean watched as the heroes were defeated and attacked Balor himself. He would have been crushed but Valkyrie rescued him. The heroes defeated Balor by smashing the Evil Eye. The Black Knight invited Sean to be his squire, and Sean agreed. The group then traveled to America again, where Morgan le Fay was unleashing monsters from the Fomor on the world. (Black Knight v2 #3) Sean sat on Valinor with Black Knight as he, Strange, and Valkyrie battled the Fomor, Sean showing great enthusiasm during the battle. The heroes were soon all defeated and imprisoned in the large energy being, the Wicker Man, except the Black Knight who was forced to swear fealty to Morgan. After Doctor Strange and Victoria found a way to get Dane Whitman's consciousness to overshadow Sir Percy's, the Black Knight found a way to defeat the Wicker Man and to stop Morgan and Mordred's entrance into the world. (Black Knight v2 #4)

After the Black Knight was arrested for murders he did not commit, Sean and Victoria bailed him out. Back at the castle, Catherwood showed them in, then they discussed who the real criminal could be. Mrs. Blackwood and her daughter, Jenny, soon showed up and told them the real culprit was the villainous Crusader. Sean rode on Valinor with the Black Knight, who battled and defeated the Crusader. (Avengers Spotlight v1 #39)
