Will is a gentle person. Often the voice of reason in the Gang, he admires Robin as a mentor and the man who saved his family. A skilled carpenter and locksmith, he's also not afraid to use his axe in battle when needed.

 

Will Scarlett (Harry Lloyd)

Harry Lloyd as Will Scarlett

Gender: Male
* First appeared on October 07, 2006 in the episode Will You Tolerate This?.

The youngest member of the group at eighteen going on nineteen, Will (played by Harry Lloyd) is the son of Locksley's carpenter. Prior to the first episode, his mother died from starvation and his father lost a hand in punishment for Will and his brother poaching food to survive. In the first series' premier, he is to be hanged for stealing flour, but is saved by Robin, whom he joins in the forest as an outlaw.

In contrast with the traditionally hot-tempered Will Scarlet, this incarnation is generally slow to anger, quiet, shy, and often a voice of reason. He seemed to get on best with Allan before he betrayed them, perhaps because they shared the same experience of nearly being hanged. He also seems to get on well with John, who seemed to take the roll of father to the younger outlaws, namely Marian, Will and Kate. Because of his knowledge of carpentry, he often finds unique ways of helping the gang. He usually fights with two axes.

In "The Return Of The King", Will and Allan consider leaving the outlaws to go to Scarborough and stay with Will's family. However, Will and Allan decide against it, only to return to the news that Marian is dead.

In "The Angel of Death", Will's father Dan is killed by the Sheriff. Mad with grief, Will sets out to poison the Sheriff in spite of the destruction of Nottingham that would result. Only after he is led to believe Robin is dying after drinking the poison does he relent.

In "A Clue - No", when the outlaws are led to believe that Marian is dead, Will is the only one seen with tears, perhaps because she may have been still alive if he and Alan had remained there to help the outlaws fight the sheriff and Gisborne.

In "A Good Day to Die" he and Djaq express their mutual love for each other; they remain in the Holy Land at the end of the second series.
