Nostro

Fable Wiki – Your guide to everything Fable.

Nostro is a deceased Bandit turned Hero, once known as "The Gatekeeper".

[edit] History

In his youth he was a bandit who was driven by his ambition to make a mark on the world. However despite being a bandit and mercenary he was not without a sense of decency, but could not reach his full potential until he met a man named Scythe. With Scythe by his side, Nostro founded the Heroes' Guild, and using his newly taught powers of will he raised an army and enforced peace on Albion's people. But was only happy with a blade in his hand. However he was corrupted by a woman named Magdalena, and in turn the guild. Soon the Guild was reduced to a house of Mercenaries. Eventually he saw how his power had corrupted him, but by then all had left him. In his depression and isolation he was an easy target for an assassin's poison. He would rather have died a "Hero's Death", dying in the heat of battle. Because of his manner of death, his soul wandered Lychfield in perpetual torment. In Fable: TLC, if the Hero of Oakvale chose the path of goodness, he battled Nostro and defeated him, putting his soul to rest.

[edit] Trivia

• Although Nostro is a defeatable presumably "evil" character, he explains to the Hero that the reason for his attack is because "his is a warriors soul", and if he didn't fight, he would not be able to stand proudly among his comrades in the afterlife. He then thanks the Hero for fulfilling his dream, putting his soul to rest, and releasing him from the fears and worries of Albion.
• His sarcophagus in Lychfield shows some resemblance to that of the pointing statue in the Lookout Point.
• In Fable II a loading screen mentions that the guildmaster was killed by the Hero of Oakvale, so Nostro must still be at torment. However, this is just an Easter egg. The "good" story is considered to be canon and if the Hero had killed the Guildmaster, the canon story would be drastically altered.
