Tiny Tim

* The heartwarming whelp from A Christmas Carol, Tiny Tim was facing a death sentence in the form of polio, which would have surely killed him had the cold-hearted miser Scrooge not had a change of heart, saving Tiny Tim's life with a much needed operation.

Unfortunately, even though his life was spared, the effects of polio had already ravaged Tim's leg, forcing him to forever need a crutch to get around normally. Even though Tim had grown a few inches over the few years since his operation, he is still referred to as Tiny Tim, despite being over 5 feet tall by the time Bastian enters his world..

Tiny Tim was still no weakling, and learned to use his crutch as a weapon for self-defense, making him a valuable member of Bastian's Knights.
