- "Revere, a dentist as well as a silversmith, was making a house visit to Betsy's niece."
- —Ichabod Crane[src]
Paul Revere was a silversmith, a dentist, and a leader in the colonial militia. He was responsible for carving the word "Cicero" into the back of the Headless Horseman's teeth.
History[]
He was one of several men to take part in the legendary Midnight Ride, responsible for transporting an important manuscript. He also warned American soldiers of the British approach by burning lanterns lined with silver to enhance their illumination.[1]
Revere once came to the aid of Betsy Ross when her niece became a victim of a dark creature that preyed on the life-energies of children when they lost their teeth. Using his occupation as a dentist as cover, he used his silver smithing skills to create a device that helped him to slay the Abyzou by revealing it, thus saving Betsy's niece. The device Revere created to reveal the Abyzou was made from several components disguised as dentist tools to provided a cover for their true purpose.[2]
Revere, along with his nephew and apprentice; Jonathan Revere, were summoned by George Washington when Jonathan accidentally absorbed The Eye of Providence from the Staff of the Hidden One which he and Betsy Ross procured from the Catacombs. Jonathan sacrificed himself to release the Eye's catastrophic energy, and Revere used the staff to draw its energy out. He later created the Shard of Anubis from the Staff of the Hidden One to conceal and contain the Eye of Providence under Washington's orders after he decreed the Eye to be much too dangerous.[3]
Trivia[]
Etymology[]
- The name "Paul" is from the Roman family name Paulus, which meant "small" or "humble" in Latin. Due to the renown of Saint Paul the name became common among early Christians. It was borne by a number of other early saints and six popes. In England it was relatively rare during the Middle Ages, but became more frequent beginning in the 17th century. A notable bearer was the American Revolutionary War figure Paul Revere (1735-1818). Famous bearers in the art world include the French impressionists Paul Cezanne (1839-1906) and Paul Gauguin (1848-1903), and the Swiss expressionist Paul Klee (1879-1940). It is borne by British musician Paul McCartney (1942-). This is also the name of the legendary American lumberjack Paul Bunyan.[4]
Character Notes[]
- As Ichabod mentioned, Paul Revere did not finish the Midnight Ride. The only one to finish was Samuel Prescott.[1]
- Revere was captured on the historical ride, along with William Dawes and Samuel Prescott, who escaped and made it to Concord.[1]
