Sir Johan (Empath stories)

Sir Johan is a character who is part of the EMPATH: The Luckiest Smurf story series. He is a squire serving a king along with his friend Peewit the court jester. His first encounter with the Smurfs took place five years prior to Empath's final return from Psychelia, when Peewit came across a magic flute with six holes that made whoever listened to its tune dance. When the same flute was stolen by Matthew McCreep and used to rob the townsfolk of their valuables, Peewit and Sir Johan sought help from Homnibus, who then sent them to the Smurfs, the ones responsible for creating the flute. They offered assistance by creating a second flute with which Peewit used to retrieve the first flute from McCreep. From that point on, the Smurfs had various encounters with Sir Johan and Peewit.

Empath has had some occasional encounters with Sir Johan since his final return from Psychelia. One notable appearance was during Empath and Smurfette's wedding, which at that point he had received his full commission as a knight.
