~ The Enchantress
The Enchantress, also known as The Remnant of Fate in her monstrous form, is the main antagonist of the Shovel Knight franchise.
An mysterious entity sealed away in eternity, she is the leader and founder of the Order of No Quarter bent on ruling over both the world and the valley. Years prior to both Shovel Knight and Donovan's story/flashbacks, The Enchantress possessed Shield Knight in order to break free of the amulet and revived Donovan as her right-hand man and has taken a form of a witch since the day of Shield Knight's disappearance. She is also Shovel Knight and Shield Knight's arch-nemesis.
The Enchantress is an evil spirit that was locked in the Tower of Fate within an amulet. Drill Knight alongside his crew broke the Enchantress' imprisonment accidentally, The Enchantress thanked the latter for releasing her from her prison and gives them a prize by combining Drill Knight and his crew into monster, becoming as one to destroy both Shovel Knight and Shield Knight. After the duo defeated Drill Knight and his team, They used the magic amulet to trap The Enchantress, where she was imprisoned.
Shovel Knight and Shield Knight went to the tower seeking treasure, they inadvertently unlocked the seal over the Enchantress. Shield Knight was the first one to have picked up the amulet and was consumed by darkness, and in the ensuing chaos with the still-active shadowy minions, Shovel Knight was knocked unconscious and only found Shield Knight's helmet remaining when he awoke outside. With his heart broken, Shovel Knight retired for a simple life.
Some time later, the Enchantress unleashed her evil powers and a new physical form. She notices a dying Donovan, She makes a deal with him by making him as her enforcer if he wants to live now known as Specter Knight, She orders his enforcer to recruit all sevenKnights to join the Order of No Quarter to take over the land.
Shovel Knight set off on a journey to defeat the Order and once again enter the Tower of Fate. During his journey, he faces the Black Knight, who is also after the Enchantress for some reason. The Enchantress speaks to Black Knight right before the second confrontation, trying to sway him to her side, but she vanishes after he states his intentions to only look out for her safety.
After Shovel Knight defeats the Order and reaches the Tower, he faces the Black Knight for the last time, after which he reveals that Shield Knight had been possessed by the Enchantress's evil spirit. Shovel Knight confronts her in the final level of the Tower. After rescuing Shield Knight, the two join together for the final battle. Even after being defeated, the Enchantress' spirit unleashes all of her power over Shovel Knight, so Shield Knight holds her while the Black Knight rescues Shovel Knight. As the Enchantress finally vanishes, the Tower of Fate crumbles. After the credits Shield Knight is shown to have escaped alive, rejoining with Shovel Knight.
Quotes[]
“
Of all the monsters roaming Shovel Knight’s world, none are as dangerous as the Enchantress. Cold, brilliant, and pulsing with vile power, the Enchantress is a preternatural force. Her Order of No Quarter carries out her will with ruthless might, although her origins remain shrouded in mystery. With a loyal army under her command, she is more than a match for a solitary knight with a lowly shovel... or so she assumes!

The Enchantress’ story revolves around the frighteningly cold power she displays, and some more insight into her past. Maybe the Order has rebelled, and the Enchantress has to enforce her authority!

~ The Enchantress

Am I the villain for standing my ground and protecting what's rightfully mine? Hey there, fellow redditors! I need your perspective. I am a *redacted* year old female sorceress and I've maintained my reign for years, ensuring that my dark dominion remains unchallenged. Things were peachy until a lowly shovel-wielding Knight decided to waltz in and threaten to usurp my power and glory. In response, I called upon my Order of No Quarter to swiftly assert my authority. But lo and behold...this knight has become a serious pain on my side. He has single handedly dismantled my control of several towns, making a mockery of my forces. His actions clearly suggest treachery, and I may soon dispose of him myself since I clearly cannot rely on any knight. As I see it, I have every right to defend my reign and to forge a better future of darkness for the realm. However, some view my retaliation as ruthless, cold and vile, Should I have handled the situation differently, or am I within my rights to stand my ground and protect what is rightfully mine? Am I the villain?

Trivia[]
The Enchantress bears a striking resemblance towards the evil fairy witch Maleficent from Disney's Sleeping Beauty. This resemblance is further extended when, during the very last fight, her true form is revealed to have several dragon-like traits mixed in with her human appearance.
