Who is Saint George?

Fables The name "Redcross Knight" is actually just a nickname (given because his symbol was a red cross that eventually evolved into the flag of Britain) for St. George, a historical figure whose life is enshrouded in legend. St. George is known in art and tradition as the slayer of a great dragon; hence the title of issue #37, 'St. George's Syndrome' (In which Boy Blue slays a dragon in the homelands). The Redcross Knight appears in the Keep at World's End, where he is the second to last fable to die in its defense. It can be considered ironic that The Redcross Knight (aka: St. George- the dragon killer) is eventually defeated at the Keep by one of the Advesary's dragons.
