It turns out to be a young boy whose father was killed by the Sheriff for refusing to work in the mine. The Sheriff had also hosted an archery competition to lure Hood out that day, but when a man wins the Silver Arrow, the prize, the Sheriff suspects it is Hood and has him investigated. When the Saracen workload is intercepted by Hood, the mine is compromised and eventually destroyed by Hood's gang, who gain a new member in the Saracen woman Djaq. When the villagers revolt, they are quelled by the Sheriff easily, but he fires them all anyway, as he has a batch of Saracen prisoners on the way who he can force to work. In " Turk Flu" the Sheriff opens a mine and forces villagers to work in it.

They then decide to go and free Royston's mother, and though they do so, the Sheriff's men manage to kill Royston violently, thus striking an emotional blow to Hood and his gang. The attempt fails, however, and the gang are angry, until Royston tells them why he done it. Royston agrees and is sent away, and tries to assassinate Hood. The Sheriff's threat is this: if Royston doesn't kill Hood, then he will have his mother killed. Royston refuses at first but then the Sheriff reveals that he has Royston's mother hostage, whom Royston cares about deeply. The pair take pity on the assassin, whose wife died under the Sheriff's evil regime, but he is killed by Guy of Gisborne under the Sheriff's orders anyway.ĭuring " Parent Hood" the Sheriff captures a more minor member of Robin's gang, Royston White, and tells Royston to kill Robin Hood for him. The assassin is discovered and stopped by Robin and Marian, who Robin has found out is the Nightwatchman, a previously unknown entity who leaves food for the poor. Soon after, the Sheriff, tying in with his and Hood's plan, visits a village publicly in order to draw out the assassin. However, when it is discovered that the Sheriff is a target of the unknown assassin, he makes a deal with Robin to capture the murderer. The Sheriff also has people killed by his own men in order to turn everyone against Robin even more. In " Who Shot the Sheriff?" a spree of murders occurs, which the Sheriff blames on Robin to turn the people against him, despite the fact that he knows it's not him. The Sheriff is desperate to have these outlaws killed, as he knows they will threaten his goals. By now most of Robin's gang against the Sheriff has been assembled: there is Robin himself, Allan A Dale, Will Scarlett, Much and Little John. However they escape, and the gang comes under the wing of Robin. The Sheriff does not believe him and tries to have Robin and his gang, who have recently arrived only to find Hood already freed by Marian, killed. Eventually Robin is freed with the help of Marian, his love interest, and he threatens the Sheriff, saying he will kill him. However, Much, Allan A Dale and Will Scarlett convince Little John and his men to help free Robin. Robin is forced to give himself up to the Sheriff by Little John, an outlaw who has captured Hood, and Hood is taken to Nottingham Castle for interrogation. In " Sheriff Got Your Tongue?" Vaisey tries to lure out Hood for capture by cutting off villagers' tongues one by one until he reveals himself. The Sheriff brands them outlaws, and now wants Robin Hood killed. However, Robin stops reading the sentence and rescues the trio, who escape the castle. Vaisey decides to humiliate Robin and ensure Locksley's loyalty by having him read the sentence of Will and Luke Scarlett and Allan A Dale at their hanging. He confronts Vaisey, which only angers the Sheriff. Robin of Locksley, a noble, returns with his freed servant Much to Nottingham, only to discover that the new Sheriff, Vaisey, has been terrorizing everyone for the past three years.
