Will Scarlet (Will Gamwell, Will Scathlock, Jock o’Nottingham) Robin’s cousin has a sever hatred for the Normans, which stems from an incident several years ago that involved a serving maid that worked at his brother’s tavern. Soldiers of Nottingham assaulted her; Will “accidentally” killed three of the soldiers before escaping into Sherwood Forest. Will is an accomplished swordsmen having served King Richard as a soldier in Normandy and Scotland. Will is young and headstrong and while being loyal to Robin Hood, often bristles at Robin’s leadership. He has a violent streak and often, does not look before he leaps and this many times causes Robin problems. Wills driving force is his dislike for the Normans and what they have done to the Saxons; his people. Will often dreams about England without the Normans and will almost go to any lengths to get the upper hand on a Norman. Of all of Robin Hoods men Will Scarlet is probably the most dangerous because of his unpredictability and possible savagery. Although he does not know this Lady Alicia has an all-consuming vendetta for his death since one of the Normans he killed was her husband.
