Shovel Knight is a knight with a round body and short stature. He wears a blue armor with a dark T-shaped visor and white horns. He is always shown with his weapon: the Shovel Blade. Shovel Knight is a brave, honest and helpful knight, always helping people out. He is determined to defeat the Enchantress and her Order of No Quarter to find his long lost lover, Shield Knight. He always stays true to the Code of Shovelry: Slash Mercilessly and Dig Tirelessly.

He is also bad with puns, as shown in his conversation with the grumpy toad Toader. In the past, Shovel Knight trained in the ways of Shovelry along with his comrades in arms and rivals Black Knight and Polar Knight. Eventually, for unknown reasons, the three parted ways and Shovel Knight and went on to adventure with Shield Knight, finding treasures and fighting evil where can be, starting their adventures living in the Burrow. The pair soon became the most accomplished adventurers in the Valley.

During one of his adventures, Shovel Knight and Shield Knight were led to the mysterious Tower of Fate in the far ends of the Valley, where they sought to destroy a dangerous and evil Amulet. Unfortunately, he lagged behind Shield Knight and once he caught up to her, he witnessed her falling down a platform. The catching up Shovel Knight was then caught up in a terrible magic, passed out and, while unconscious, was somehow expelled from the Tower. Awakening, he found the structure sealed and impenetrable, and Shield Knight nowhere to be seen. The true story is that the spirit inside the amulet released itself from the amulet and possessed Shield Knight, turning her into the evil Enchantress.

Assuming the worst, the grieving Shovel Knight retired to a solitary farming life beyond the Valley's Plains, exacerbating his rivalry with Black Knight, who came to see him as a coward who was unable to protect their common friend Shield Knight. Eventually, as the rise of The Enchantress and her villainous Order of No Quarter was in full swing, the Blue Burrower heard rumors of the Tower unsealing itself. After an epiphany, Shovel Knight decided to journey back to the Tower of Fate, to discover what really happened to his partner.

During his journey in the Valley, he has gone to manu places and fought the eight members of Order of No Quarter, and defeating them.

In his sleep during his journey, Shovel Knight was haunted by Shield Knight's tragedy, seeing her falling from the sky while countless foes tried to stop him from catching her. He was occasionally defied by his eternal rival Black Knight, who had resolved to defend The Enchantress from anyone and refused to let him near the Tower of Fate out of spite. After beating the Order and making his way to the Tower's entrance, having figured out the true identity of the sorceress, Shovel Knight made clear his goal, despite how hopeless returning Shield Knight to normal would had seemed to be.

Shovel Knight defeated the Order of No Quarter once again in a massive Battle Royale at the end of his ascension of the Tower. He then finally confronted The Enchantress herself in her inner sanctum, who mocked his hopeless quest. However against all odds, Shovel Knight succeeded into weakening the sorceress just enough for her true self to break free from her imprisonment, saving Shield Knight and then fighting alongside her the last shreds of power of the dark witch, the horrible Remnant of Fate. Shovel Knight was however wounded and rendered unconscious by their foe's last attacks while Shield Knight held back the magical being's relentless assault as the tower started to crumble around them. Black Knight, who had appeared to help them, listened reluctantly to the warrior maiden pleads and carried Shovel Knight to safety outside the tower. Against all odds Shield Knight, made it out alive and joined her still unconscious lover to rest beside him, the pair being finally reunited.
