Weaver, commonly referred to as the Guildmaster (note: the Guildmaster's name is not revealed until you speak to the Oracle), was the leader of the Heroes' Guild. He taught the the Hero of Oakvale during his youth and guided him through his later life, giving him quests that helped him pursue his Mother, Scarlet Robe, and assisted him in his quests against Jack of Blades.

The Guildmaster was present during Jack of Blades' raid on the Guild, and was badly injured during the battle. Loading dialogue in Fable 2, says that there are rumors he was murdered by the Hero of Oakvale, with the words 'Your Health is Low' cut into his forehead. But this is most likely a joke on the designers behalf, one who was aware of the Guildmaster's constant use of the phrase "Your health is low."

According to the Oracle, the Guildmaster went by the name of Weaver in his youth and along with Maze led a revolt against the leadership of the Guild due to the belief that rather than being forced to be good, heroes should be free to determine their own morality. Many heroes were killed in this revolt to a point where it was at its lowest in centuries. With their success, Scythe suggested Weaver as the new head of the guild because of his 'impartial serenity.'

[edit] Appearance

Weaver is a bald, elderly man with a generic mustache and a Guild tattoo on his forehead, neither of which can be worn by the PC. He is clad in a green and gold coat that gives him a regal appearance.

[edit] Powers and Abilities

Weaver is said to be a powerful wizard. Despite this, he does not seem to display any offensive powers, should the player choose to fight him for his soul in Fable: The Lost Chapters. During this fight, he only shows the ability to cast a shield on his bodyguards, as well as heal them. The fact that he does not use any attack spells against the hero may be out of love for him, as the Guildmaster raised him from a young age. After the battle, if the hero does not accept Weaver's offer to surrender and be teleported to Lychfield Graveyard, he claims that he has "powers you can't even imagine". Despite this, the hero stabs him through the chest before he is able to demonstrate these abilities, leaving the Guildmaster's true power a mystery.

[edit] Trivia

  • In Fable 2, a tattoo can be found in the Gypsy Camp in Bower Lake resembling the Guildmaster's tattoo.
  • A russet apple has the description of An apple a day keeps the Guildmaster away, this a reference to one of the earlier missions during Fable 1, where you have to find red apples for an apple pie for the Guildmaster.
  • In Fable II, the Loading Screens points to the Hero killing the Guildmaster with the words "Your Health is Low" engraved on his forehead. This is an Easter egg and reference to how the Guildmaster says, "Your health is low. Do you have any potions or food?".
