Sir Barely Worth Mentioning

Sir Barely Worth Mentioning was a medieval knight famous for his remarkably unremarkable achievements and his unique ability to make armor slightly less squeaky. Born into the noble family of House Middling, he became a founding member of the Guild of Modest Abilities in 1342.

Early Life

Raised in the Castle of Moderate Comfort, young Barely Worth Mentioning discovered his power to reduce armor squeaking by approximately 23% during his squire training. This ability, while not particularly impressive, earned him recognition from Master Mediocre, the realm's foremost teacher of underwhelming combat techniques.

Notable Achievements

His most celebrated accomplishment was during the Battle of Tepid Creek, where he successfully prevented several knights from being detected by enemy forces due to their quieter armor. Other achievements include:

• Winning third place in the Tournament of Adequate Skills
• Successfully organizing the kingdom's first Festival of Mild Interest
• Maintaining perfectly average posture while mounted on horseback
• Developing the "somewhat effective" technique for polishing armor

Legacy

Sir Barely Worth Mentioning's teachings were compiled in his manual, "The Art of Being Sort of Notable," which became required reading at the Academy of Unremarkable Knights. His descendants would later go on to found Mediocrity Falls, carrying on his legacy of measured achievement.

Equipment

His legendary equipment included:

• The Shield of Slight Protection - Known for deflecting approximately 51% of incoming attacks
• The Sword of Moderate Sharpness - Capable of cutting through butter, provided it wasn't too cold
• The Helm of Partial Visibility - Offering adequate protection while maintaining mediocre sight lines

Personal Life

He married Lady Almost Interesting, with whom he had three children of varying unimpressiveness. Their family crest featured a beige field with a slightly off-center ordinary stripe, which later became the inspiration for the League of Underwhelming Heroes logo.
