Twinblade is a gigantic ex-Hero who left the Heroes' Guild to unite a dozen Bandit clans and become their King.
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. Use this opportunity to roll or use Assassin Rush to get behind him and attack his back repeatedly. 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.
Fable II
In Fable II, Twinblade's Tomb can be found in Wraithmarsh, and is visited by the Hero during the quest Love Hurts. The site of his bandit camp has evolved into the town of Bloodstone.
Notes
- There is a statue of a thin hero in the court yard around Maze's tower, which depicts a hero holding two elongated twin daggers. This was presumed to be Twinblade in his youth, but has later been confirmed to be Holdr.
- He and Holdr are the only characters in the series who are depicted wielding two swords at the same time.
- In Twinblade's Tomb, when you open the sarcophagus in the burial chamber you can see that the skeleton inside is drastically smaller than that of Twinblade's.
- In Fable III, Captain Saker bears many similarities to Twinblade, with Saker mirroring Twinblade's battle with the hero of the time, their similar appearances, and allowing the current hero to decide their fates.
