As Pegasus, he can summon barding made from the same cosmic energy used by Paladin. The barding grants him super strength and speed, and near invulnerability.

Personal history

Buchephalus was part of a breeding program to create jousting horses for the Covenant royal families of the Rustbucket. He was one of the best attempts at recreating a destrier, also known as a charger, the most coveted species of warhorse for a knight. Buchephalus was badly injured early in his training, suffering multiple breaks in his right hind leg. Even injured, the rarity of the breed allowed the program to turn a profit selling him to Darius Fitz, owner of Brokenhollow Stables. Fitz brought in his young stablehand, Paladin, to care for Busephalus and help train him. The boy and horse quickly developed a bond. Richie found himself spending more and more of his free time at the stables. One afternoon, while fantasizing about riding Busephalus into battle, he accidentally shared some of his power with the horse.
