This page is for characters who have appeared in more than one game. For characters who have only made an appearance in a certain game see:

* ''[[Fable II (Video Game)/Characters|Fable II]]''
* ''[[Fable III (Video Game)/Characters|Fable III]]''

== Theresa ==
[[File:Theresa_96Theresa 96.png|frame]]
{{quote| '''Voiced By''': ??? (''Fable I''), Zoe Wanamaker (''Fable II'', ''Fable III'')}}
 
{{quote| ''And so it begins...''}}
 
Theresa is the older sister of the Hero of Oakvale, who at the start of the ''[[Fable I (Videovideo Gamegame)|Fable I]]'' is kidnapped by Jack of Blades and left to die in the woods after having her eyes slashed. For years the Hero thinks she is dead, but eventually finds out she had been living with bandits [[Blind Seer|while developing her powerful psychic abilities]]. She is kidnapped again by Jack of Blades, and at the end {{spoiler|the Hero can either kill her and gain great power or let her live}}.
 
She reappears in ''[[Fable II (Video Game)|Fable II]]'' (making the Good End of ''Fable I'' canon), which takes place five-hundred years later. She is the one that directs Sparrow and his/her sister to the music box that eventually gets Sparrow's sister killed by Lord Lucien. She spends the rest of the game (and most of Sparrow's life) [[The Chessmaster|guiding or outright manipulating Sparrow's life]] to the point where {{spoiler|Sparrow can kill Lord Lucien but Theresa can keep the magical Spire Lucien has been building}}.
 
She appears again ''[[Fable III (Video Game)|Fable III]]'', acting as an advisor for the son/daughter of Sparrow as they try to overthrow their tyrannical brother King Logan {{spoiler|and repel the invasion of the Crawler, a role she also played for Logan}}.
 
* [[Black Cloak]]: While not evil, per se, Theresa in ''[[Fable II (Video Game)|Fable II]]'' is a [[Mysterious Protector]], and wears a [https://web.archive.org/web/20110917155213/http://files.xboxic.com/xbox-360/fable-2/fable2trailer.jpg heavy cloak]. This is also because she is specifically pointed out as a [[Blind Seer|Blind Seeress]]ess.
* [[Blind Seer]]
* [[Captain Ersatz]]: ''Fable II'''s Theresa looks and sounds a lot like [[Knights of the Old Republic|Kreia]].
** Actually, she is voiced by [[Harry Potter (Filmfilm)|Madam Hooch]].
* [[The Chessmaster]]: {{spoiler|There's an argument that she's been manipulating Albion for the last five hundred and fifty years. No one is sure as to the purpose yet.}}
* [[Dead Little Sister|Dead Older Sister]]: The hero believes this was her fate until he learns of her possible survival.
Line 38:
 
== Reaver ==
[[File:Reaver2_3809Reaver2 3809.png|frame]]
{{quote| '''Voiced By''': [[Stephen Fry]]}}
 
{{quote| ''Admiring my weapon are you? The Dragon Stomper .48... only 6 were ever made for a lucky few... well not that lucky, I've killed 4 of them.''}}
 
Reaver is the Hero of Skill with amazing gun abilities. He has [[Immortality|eternal youth]], which he gets from [[Immortality Immorality|annually sacrificing the youth of others to the Shadow Court]]. Reaver is excessively vain and very trigger happy, as well as being [[Faux Affably Evil]]. While part of the party in ''[[Fable II (Video Game)|Fable II]]'', in ''[[Fable III (Video Game)|Fable III]]'' Reaver plays a much more directly villainous role.
 
* [[Anything That Moves]]: Assuming the main player is hot enough, he'll hit on her/him the instant he sees them. He continuously hits on Page after meeting her, even while threatening (and ''trying'') to get her killed. ''[[Fable III (Video Game)|Fable III]]'' implies that his sexual deviance at least occasionally includes balverines and chickens.
* [[Bad Boss]]: We can assume his employment doesn't come with a feasible retirement package.
* [[Catch Phrase]]: He's fond of the phrase "tatty-bye" in ''[[Fable III (Video Game)|Fable III]]''.
* [[The Chick]]: In ''[[Fable II (Video Game)|Fable II]]''.
* [[Combat Pragmatist]]: The description of the Red Dragon really says it all. The best shot in Albion heard of Reaver's skill and so challenged him to an "honourable shooting challenge". Reaver's reply was to shoot him in the head then and there.
* [[Comedic Sociopathy]]: Most of the time, though his cruelty isn't always played for laughs.
* [[Corrupt Corporate Executive]]: In ''[[Fable III (Video Game)|Fable III]]''.
* [[The Dark Chick]]
* [[Depraved Bisexual]]
* [[Despair Event Horizon]]: {{spoiler|Seems to be the cause of Reaver's cruelty, according to the fifth and final page of his journal. He reacted as many of us would to what he went through as a youth in Oakvale - he broke down and decided that he was a monster for what he'd done. Where he differed was that when he regained his composure, he started acting like one as well.}}
* [[Evil Chancellor]]: Becomes this in ''[[Fable III (Video Game)|Fable III]]'' once you become King/Queen. Of course, he's not really your ''adviser'', so much as the pragmatic devil on your shoulder in debates.
* [[Faux Affably Evil]]
* [[Guile Hero|Guile Anti-Hero]]: Although his talent for [[Improbable Aiming Skills|shooting anyone in the world anywhere any time instantaneously whenever he feels like it]] [[Immortality|forever]] means that his cunning doesn't get much of a work out.
Line 71:
* [[Large Ham]]: Jolly ol' [[Stephen Fry|Reaver]].
* [[Life Drinker]]: Reaver keeps his youth through the centuries by sacrificing the youth of innocents to the Shadow Court.
* {{spoiler|[[Living Onon Borrowed Time]]: Oh, he's having a hell of a time right now, but according to the Shadow Court, no matter how many people he sacrifices, he won't evade them forever.}}
* [[My God, What Have I Done?]]: {{spoiler|He acquired immortality through the destruction of his hometown of Oakvale - which ended up killing his childhood sweetheart. The difference is that after thinking he had become a monster, he started ''acting'' like one.}}
* [[Names to Run Away From Really Fast]]: "Reave", Verb, 1) (''archaic'') To plunder, pillage, rob., or 2) (''archaic'') To split, tear, break apart.
Line 79:
* [[Smug Snake]]
* [[Token Evil Teammate]]: In the second game.
* [[Villainous Crossdresser]]: In ''[[Fable III (Video Game)|Fable III]]'', a couple of portraits in Reaver's mansion indicate that he is one.
 
 
== Other Characters ==
=== '''Lady Elvira Grey''' ===
* [[Blondes Are Evil]]
* [[The Vamp]]: Though she does fall genuninely in love with the Hero of Oakvale.
* [[Ugly Guy, Hot Wife]]: Lady Grey doesn't care about your appearance.
 
=== '''Max and Sam Spade''' ===
* [[Drunk Withwith Power]]: Both in the literal and metaphorical sense in the third game.
* [[Expy]]: Their appearances are based on members of the team at Lionhead.
* [[Fate Worse Than Death]]: In Fable III, even as ghosts, the two are forever forced to live with their mother.
Line 95:
* [[Mommy Issues]]
* [[Rule of Funny]]: No sane person would ever give these two morons that book once they got it away from them. Except if you want to see how they'll screw it up yet again.
* [[Shout -Out]]: The names of the two brothers could be a reference to [[Sam and Max Freelance Police|another duo]]. Sam Spade is also the name of the detective from ''[[The Maltese Falcon (Film)|The Maltese Falcon]]''.
* [[Those Two Guys]]: How bad are they? Their mother's grave says: "Here lies Elizabeth Spade, at peace. ADDENDUM: Now her sons have joined her, the above inscription is no longer accurate."
{{quote| '''Sam's Grave:''' This is all Max's fault.<br />
'''Max's Grave:''' I had it all under control, then Sam cocked it up. }}
