Sir Fang/Baron Fant

[gsvenson]

I have always been confused about the origins of Sir Fang. Svenny only encountered him once. In 1976 I went to GenCon and participated in my one and only D&D game at a con. When I encountered him in Blackmoor dungeon, I assumed that Sir Fang was the result of a transformation of Duane Jenkin's character, the Baron of Glendower, because Duane was a vampire fan. He was especially fond of a soap opera called "Dark Shadows" which featured a vampire, Barnabus, if I remember correctly. When I heard that everyone thought Sir Fang was Baron Fant, I was surprised, but not knowing for sure couldn't really say anything one way or the other.
