In the dank cellars beneath Kronborg Castle in Helsingor, Denmark lies a gigantic sleeping man of stone - Holger Danske.As the legend goes, he had a son who was slain by Charlot, the son of Charlemagne. In retaliation, he went into a rage, slaying Charlot and nearly Charlemagne himself.He later made peace with his old enemy to battle the Saracens where he slew the giant Brehus.

Now, he lies still beneath the castle, his beard grown long of old age. There he slumbers until a time comes when Denmark is in danger when he shall turn to flesh and bone, and rise from his dormant state in defence of the land.
