Robin Hood

Sorry, I'm not nearly the man you are. I'm just a pragmatist who'll resort to poison if it'll guarantee a kill.

A nameless Hero summoned in the Great Holy Grail War of 2014 as "Robin Hood".

Legend
Once upon a time in the Kingdom of England, Prince John, youngest son of the House of Plantagenêt and younger brother to Richard the Lionheart, attempted to seize the throne while King Richard was overseas leading the third Crusade and fighting the saracens to dispute the Holy Land.

During these difficult times, dwelling within the forest of Sherwood near the city of Nottingham, a faceless Hero rose against the tyrannous reign of John Lackland by stealing from the rich and giving to the poor, or so the story goes...

In truth, prior to the Victorian era, Robin Hood was not put in this historical context. Nor was John Lackland a tyrant, but an unpleasant person according to his peers and an inept politician. While the incarnation of Robin Hood that fought against the "tyranny" of Prince John was created from the contempt in which the Victorians held the latter, the character of Robin Hood was originally born from an amalgamation popular tales and oral traditions.

While the true origins of the chivalrous thief are a subject of constant and spirited debate, historians have reached the common consensus that there did exist a man named Robin who died at the hand of his aunt, the prioress of Kirklees, who supposedly bled him to death instead of tending to his wounds. The existence of Little John, Maid Marian, Friar Tuck, and the Merry Men is a topic as debated as that of their leader. However, many believe that this tale is a mix of embellished truths and fiction.

Other tales depict Robin Hood as a Hero born from the prayers of the residents of the British Isles. Weary of the seemingly endless incursions and invasions of their land, they asked the heavens for someone to fight off the foreign invaders. Another portrays him as a spirit of the woods who would carry out the actions and deeds that the common layperson could not.

It was these beliefs that transformed this name into a title assumed by countless men who took up the mantle of protecting the people, among whom was this particular young man who, upon being chosen by the Throne of Heroes, lost his individuality to adhere to the collective of "Robin Hood".

Shattered Timeline
[WIP] Summoned by ████████ in the Einzbern Castle to serve the Black Faction.
 * Great Holy Grail War

Relationships
[WIP] Ally, frequently acted as a duo due to Robin's Assassin-like methods. She helped Robin activate Holy Grail by springing into action when "Sakuya" attempted to interfere. Two sides of the same coin. It's... complicated. An informant and weapon dealer of sorts who will trade artifacts against favors (including but not limited to: bringing cute girls, trading information, and bringing more or less legal substances)
 * Youmu Konpaku
 * Heroic Spirit EMIYA
 * Alexandre Dumas

Partner in crime and fellow substance abuser. Although, unlike Alexandre, Robin much prefers a simple beer and cigarettes to strong spirits. Carried away from an encounter with Black Berserker against her will and subsequently taken as a hostage. Temporarily joined the Black Faction in their search for Robin when he went missing, and helped him recover out of gratitude for "having saved her". A contract was almost sealed between the two, but the ritual was abruptly interrupted by supernatural forces.
 * Sakuya Izayoi
 * Yatsuko Hisakawa
 * Hitomi Tsukishiro

In the Old World, she now holds mixed feelings about Robin, whom she believes to be the cause of the shift to this dead world.
 * Sen
 * Tatsue

Branded as a traitor after deserting the Black Faction. Died shortly after returning to their side and somewhat reconciling with Black members. Affectionately dubbed "Stripper Archer", "Stripper", and "Bitch" by Robin, the two Archers hold each other in contempt. She just barely survived an a failed assassination attempt that ended up resulting in the death of Black Berserker. The incarnation of the complete opposite of Robin's ideals. He despised her and everything she stood for. They faced off three times with inconclusive results. Left her to die at the hands of "Sakuya".
 * Dante
 * Bayonetta
 * Neptune
