The Bandit King
Description: Dashing, mysterious and clever, Robin
Hood is a cunning trickster and a daring fighter. He
sometimes prefers the green garb of a merry medieval
woodsman, and is known for his consummate skill in
archery and disguise. He is most famed for turning
citizens against unjust rulers and has a knack for
making public relations his greatest weapon in guerilla
warfare. In the best of times, he serves as Britannia’s
“loyal opposition,” taking responsibility for nettling
her about potential flaws in her policies and the moral
implications of her actions. He is unshakably loyal to
Britannia, though it is not unusual for him to criticize
her, and once he even went so far as to inspire an attempt
to dynamite the Houses of Parliament. Yet however far
he takes his speech and his actions, Britannia seems to
love him all the more.
Robin Hood’s talents are invaluable in this war. He is a master of ambush and distraction, and the Axis has been forced to dedicate a disproportionate number of resources to contain him—to little effect. The Aesir have laid several traps for him, which Robin Hood evaded so deftly he embarrassed his would-be hunters. Robin Hood’s greatest thrills are his daring escapes, and he much prefers to baffle an opponent than to beat him outright.
Robin Hood’s Scions are clever, independent and charming. They make excellent spies and SAS commandos, and are well suited to operations deep behind enemy lines, where they can establish systems of sabotage, organize underground resistances and foment rebellions. They have an amazing talent for retrieving sensitive information, particularly through seduction of high ranking officials or of their wives and girlfriends. Whether on the battlefield or within civilization, Robin Hood’s Scions pride themselves on having just the right solution to escape a seemingly certain death.
