Karpath Antioch

Karpath Antioch AKA K. Peculier is the son of Verigan and the founder of The Crimson Cross and The Templars, both formed to protect Minecraftia from the evils of The Desert.

Plot
Few details of Karpath's life are known, except for the fact that he and his father were both quite famous for their heroism, mainly from the events of the Sand War, and possiblly for unknown adventures before that.

In Episode 14, Karpath is revealed to have fought alongside his father against a terrible evil, Israphel, that rose from the Desert 100 years ago, after they constructed the wall, and they managed to vanquish it. Unfortunately, only he returned, for Verigan was killed in the final battle. Upon his return, he founded the Templars and the Crimson Cross, whose purpose was to protect Minecraftia from all the terrible evils in The Sands, should they return. He also supposedly wrote a map that leads to Israphel's fortress, but the map was actually written by his father, Verigan. Strangely, he disappeared one month after his return from the battle, never to be seen again ... however, it is now known that he was also known as K. Peculier, father of Old Peculier and Isabel Peculier. An unknown period of time, most likely after his disappearance, he was married and raising his children in peace at their home, when his wife was kidnapped (and possibly killed) by Israphel. He sent his children away to the Templars to be raised, and set off after Israphel. It is thought that he later became a Mistral City guard, during which time he helped destroyed the Hellgate built by the Cult of Israphel in the Crumbling Ruins. The last thing we know of him doing is entering the mine under Mistral, where he walked through a Hellgate to try to seal away Israphel for good, blowing the gate up behind him as he did so.

Old Peculier's Father
Karpath is Old Peculier's father, first hinted at by a note Knight Peculier's father left that was signed K. Peculier, was also hinted at in Madame Nubescu's prophecy, and confirmed when Verigan told the heroes Knight Peculier is his grandson. The only known living relative of Old Peculier besides Isabel Peculier, his sister, is Templar Adaephon, his uncle. Some fans also believe that Karpath may have been transformed into Israphel when he went to the Nether to seal the Hellgate, although this is may be impossible, as Israphel is supposedly the son of Reverend John who died and was transformed into the Dark Lord.

On the Yogscast Museum Server, a room in Verigan's Hold held a note from Karpath to Adaephon, informing him that Karpath was leaving Old Peculier and Isabel Peculier in the care of Granny Bacon. Since the Museum Server was the exact same world as used in the Shadow of Israphel series, this note is presumably in the actual world as well.
