Roger's dreams of the heroic knights of old compel him to seek his own modern day destiny. Leaving his home and family in Nebraska, he ventures forth to seek his fate in Chicago.

Good fortune brings him to a new home and new friends, but Roger is never easy on himself. He waits impatiently for his course to reveal itself. Only his dreams of Camelot bring him peace. Seeking to lose himself in this release, he looks for a book on knights in The Food for The Mind bookstore. He is drawn to an unusual looking volume, titled Knights by I. M. Merlin.

Upon opening the book, he is startled by a rising cloud of red smoke and the emergence of a wizard's head. "So, you want to be a knight!" the wizard booms. Astonished, Roger struggles to gather himself together and questions if it is possible. Somewhat impatiently the wizard confirms that it is...if Roger is made of the right stuff. He asks Roger if he is willing to take an oath accepting the responsibility of knighthood with all that it entails.

Putting his fears of the unknown aside, "I will!" Roger responds. As instructed, he vows to uphold the knight code of conduct ever after. He will do what is necessary to protect mankind...from harm and with honor and justice for all. He will vanquish evil in all its forms and wherever it is found. The commitment made, the wizard dubs Roger in the name of his alternate identity, Blue Knight, an armored champion with special powers. Roger has found his destiny.
