==Biography==
The son of a Saxon rebel, Robin was orphaned at a young age when his father Ailric was killed by Robert de Reinault, the Sheriff of Nottingham. Robin was raised by the local miller alongside his own son Much. After growing to adulthood, he was caught poaching deer by the Sheriff's right hand man, Guy of Gisburne, and imprisoned. He escaped with Will Scarlet and two other prisoners, Tom and Dicken. Soon after, he encountered Herne the Hunter, who anointed him as Herne's Son, the Hooded Man, charged with protecting the weak and fighting tyranny. He quickly enlisted Will, Tom and Dicken into his band, along with Much, whose father had been killed by the Sheriff's men, and Little John, who he freed from a spell cast by the warlock Simon de Belleme. He was alerted by Friar Tuck to the fact that his ward, Marion of Leaford, who Robin had encountered during his escape, had been given as bride to de Belleme by the Sheriff and Abbot Hugo. Robin rescued her, impaling De Belleme with a silver arrow, but Tom and Dicken were killed by the Sheriff's men. In the forest, Robin and Marion were married.
Robin set up a system of robbing the rich who passed through the forest and giving the loot to friendly villages. He helped Jennet, a woman accused of witchcraft by Gisburne when she spurned his advances, and reunited the minstrel Alan-a-Dale with his love Mildred, who had been promised to the Sheriff. Although he had no qualms about using lethal force, he released Gisburne unharmed on capturing him, since he was a focal point for the people's hatred.
Robin seemed to have reached a crossroads when King Richard tracked his band down, pardoning them and inviting them to Nottingham. Robin enjoyed the king's hospitality, with Richard inviting him to join his army in France, although he shut down Robin's attempts to plead for the people. Realising Robin was just being paraded for the sake of Richard's popularity, all of his band abandoned him except for Marion and Tuck. Robin accepted their point when Richard levied a harsh tax on the locals to fund his military campaign and reinstated the Sheriff in return for a bribe. Richard sent Gisburne to kill him but Robin and his friends managed to escape.
Robin answered a call to investigate attacks on a villain by the Hounds of Lucifer and defeated a satanic coven led by Morgwyn of Ravenscar. He discovered that Marion's father, Richard of Leaford, was being held prisoner by Prince John as part of a plan to seize the throne. Robin freed Richard but John's plan ultimately succeeded when King Richard died in battle, naming him as his heir. Robin continued to act against the Sheriff's persecution of a Jewish family, Gisburne hiring mercenaries to track him and a witch resurrecting Baron De Belleme.
However, his actions had earned him King John's wrath. Herne warned him he would soon face "the greatest enemy", death. The Sheriff set a trap for the band at the friendly village of Wickham, which saw first John and Will, and then Tuck captured. Robin, Marion and Much ended up taking refuge on a hill: Their longbows meant they could kill any of the Sheriff's men that came within range, but their supply of arrows was limited. Robin remained in position to draw the soldiers' attention, allowing Marion and Much to slip away. As the Sheriff's men approached, Robin broke his bow, which he had constructed on Herne's instructions, and waited with dignity as the Sheriff gave the order to fire and he was killed by multiple crossbow bolts.
