Nasir has always been the quiet one amongst the outlaws. Robert, his leader and friend, has had his blindness restored, reminding Nasir of his born-blind brother Hassan and the closeness they once shared. Banished from his home at the age of 18 he knows nothing of what happened to the family he left behind. For many years Nasir has kept his memories locked firmly away. How did he come to join the secret Nizari sect known as the Assassins? Why was he sent to kill Sarak – the man he once called brother? And what link does the young stranger, Timothy of Thornton, have to Nasir’s past and the events that put him on the path to meeting the Hooded Man? |

I'm Karyn and I live in Canada and I'll be writing for Guy of Gisburne. He's always fascinated me as a character, partly because I feel there must be much more under the surface than what we see from the tv show. I've always loved the way both Guy and the Sheriff (and Hugo) interact and that's something I would like to explore further. I'm interested in making him more than a soldier who just follows his gut instincts all the time, and perhaps explore the relationships with the people around him instead. What circumstances made Gisburne who he is today? And can he better himself through his relationship with his blood father, the Earl of Huntingdon? |

I'm Rhys, from Wales (Gwyn's younger brother) and I write for Alan a Dale. I'm also the other writers "blind advisor", as I have been totally blind since birth. It's a challenge for me to write for a sighted character, but I'm enjoying the challenge. I know little about the tv series, but Alan a Dale is a character who has always interested me. I feel a connection with him, as he is a musician and I am also. Listening to the episode of "Alan a Dale" and hearing this hopelessly dramatic and lovelorn character, I decided to change him. My Alan is still a gentle man, still very much a minstrel (and a far better one than the tv series portrayed!) but he is more capable, able to dream and yet still be a realist, and he is stronger in many ways, able to stand up to even Scarlet. He is a loyal man who has found his own valuable place in the outlaw band, rejoining the outlaws in Sherwood after the death of his wife Mildred. But Alan holds some secrets about his origins which the outlaws do not know of yet... |

I'm Esther, from Devon, UK. Some of my favourite scenes in Robin of Sherwood occur between the Sheriff, the Abbot Hugo and Gisbourne - in any combination. The Sheriff has been without a writer for sometime now and I'm delighted to have been given the job...okay, okay, I volunteered myself, I couldn't resist! Delayed in London at the King's displeasure, Robert de Rainult has a lot on his mind. A cargo ship bound from the East may hold the solution to his problems or has he been swindled? News reaches him of Gisbourne's acknowledgement by the Earl of Huntingdon; how might David choose to honour his new son? Will de Rainault's gawky new squire ever manage to bring him a pie that is still HOT?! And if he does manage to keep his head attached to his shoulders, will the journey back to Nottingham be as straight forward as he thinks...? |
