Scarlet Robe

Fable Wiki – Your guide to everything Fable.

"...She was the first female hero to become Arena Champion."

— Arena Guard

"Knothole Glade is overrun by Balverines, I wish Scarlet Robe were here, she would have slain them all."

—  Anonymous Trader.

Scarlet Robe was once a powerful Hero and Champion of the Arena, known best for slaying Balverines. After a battle with twelve Balverines, she was injured, and was taken in by Brom, a woodsman from Oakvale. In time they married and had two children, The Hero of Oakvale and Theresa. The family lived in peace for several years until they were tracked down by Jack of Blades. Jack attacked the village with bandits to find the members of the family, as Jack knew them to be descendants of the Archon, and key to finding The Sword of Aeons. Scarlet was caught, interrogated, and imprisoned in Bargate Prison. The Hero, however, eventually freed her for a brief period. Jack caught and imprisoned her again until the Hero broke her out a second time at which point she went looking for Theresa after unlocking power hidden in her son's veins. She was unable to evade Jack for long and was soon captured again. Jack eventually slit her throat and used her blood to acquire The Sword of Aeons.

According to the path the Hero takes, Scarlet may return as a spirit tormented by Jack's Screamers. After being rescued by the Hero, she gives up her soul to him so that he may use it for the Maiden shrine to unlock the Bronze Gate.

[edit] Trivia

• Scarlet Robe is, in all probability, an allusion to the Red Riding Hood tale.

• There is a Hero Doll of Scarlet Robe.
• Scarlet Robe's weapon is the Murren Greataxe. How it ended up in a silver key chest is unknown.
• She was originally from Knothole Glade.
• In the book "The Pale Balverine" it says a red robed woman killed the Balverine in question. The "Red-robed woman" is most likely a reference to Scarlet Robe.
