Twinblade is a gigantic ex-Hero who left the Heroes' Guild to unite a dozen Bandit clans and become their King. There is a statue of a thin hero in the court yard around Maze's tower, which depicts a hero with two elongated Twin blade daggers. This was presumed to be Twinblade in his youth, but has later been confirmed to be Holdr.
Fable and TLC
When Maze alludes to him being responsible for the raid on Oakvale, the Hero of Oakvale enters into his camp and defeats him personally. Before finishing the duel, the Hero is interrupted by his sister,Theresa, who reveals that it was Twinblade who found her after the raid, and saved her from her impending death. Jack of Blades (the real commander of the raid) left her for dead after cutting her eyes out. Theresa then leaves, and the Hero is given the choice of eliminating or sparing him. Either way, Twinblade or his followers later hire a band of assassins to try to kill the hero.
Duel With Twinblade
Eventually the hero will have to face the Bandit King, Twinblade. The fight carries out like another typical boss battle, using the "wait and hit" approach. Twinblade is invincible from the front, and so must be struck from behind. He will unleash hard hitting attacks that can't be blocked (rolling is the most effective method of avoiding his lunges). Eventually Twinblade will raise his arms high in the air and strike the ground. You must avoid this attack by rolling; you will find that he will be stuck in the ground, desperately trying to pull his weapons out. Seize this opportunity by rolling around to his back and repeatedly slashing him. You may have to repeat this for a long time, depending on how strong your character is. In the end a small cutscene will play, showing the existence of your sister; afterwards, you will get to choose Twinblade's fate. Be warned, however, if you venture too close to the "ring" of bandits that are watching the fight, they will attack you (you can take this opportunity to kill them for experience). Also, if you choose to kill Twinblade, all of the surrounding bandits will join in on the fight, which can make it very difficult. Alternatively, you can kill the bandits around Twinblade without killing him for experience without having to fight him at all. This can also be done before attacking him too, to make the fight go easier.
Another tactic is to instead use Assassin's Rush to get behind Twinblade after he has stabbed his blades into the ground.
Fable II
In Fable II, his tomb can be found in Wraithmarsh. This is where you find a part of Lady Grey's body.
Fable III
Twinblade bears many similarities to Captain Saker, with Saker mirroring twinblade's battle with the hero of the time, their similar appearences, their abilities to dual wield a type of weapon, and allowing the current hero to decide their fates.
Notes
- In Fable II his camp evolved to a town called Bloodstone.
- He and Holdr are the only characters in Fable who are known for wielding two swords at the same time.
- In Twinblade's Tomb, if you open the sarcophagus in the burial chamber you can see that the bones inside are drastically smaller than that of Twinblade's. This may suggest that Twinblade is buried elsewhere.
