Basic Info| Name: | Sir Guy of Gisborne |
|---|---|
| Location: | Nottingham, Nottinghamshire, United Kingdom |
| Website: | milliways |
BioVain, brutal, ambitious, loyal, practical, unemotional, single-minded, boastful, frustrated, he’s a selfish bully. Gisborne is capable of tremendous cruelty in his overwhelming pursuit of heritage and position, yet beyond this drive for recognition is his one hope for redemption: Marian. - from here.
Guy is tall, dark-haired and blue-eyed. He tends to favour black leather in his fashion choices, with the scowl on his face as ever-present as the sword at his side.
His driving focus is to acquire land and standing to go with the title he already has. Guy has a strict sense of right and wrong and strong moral code, albeit one that has strayed so far off the beaten track that it's lost in the woods. He's willing to resort to extreme measures to set things as he thinks they should be, even though he's aware that these measures, and the brutality they sometimes entail, often have terrible consequences for others. In a sense, he's concerned with the greater good, though a vision of the greater good that perhaps only he sees. It doesn't stop him hoping for some kind of personal redemption though.
Then there's Marian, for whom he finds he has strong feelings for, but at the same time unable to adequately express these feelings. They were engaged to be married, though only when the King returns. Guy hoped that she will be his salvation and that one day she would be as happy to be his wife as he would to be her husband. That changed somewhat when she punched him at the altar and ran out of the wedding and as expected, Guy's angry about that - though not really as angry as he seems. The extra anger is to hide the hurt that he's denying he feels.
He has an illegitimate son, Seth, by one of the kitchen-maids of Nottingham castle and had abandoned the baby to die in the forest before the child was rescued by Robin and his men and sent with its mother elsewhere.

- Vain - Guy's vanity comes from an obsession with looking "just so". He feels security in his leather armour and the ritual of dressing every morning prepares him for the brutalities in the day ahead.
- Brutal - And yes, he is brutal. He feels there is a certain honesty in pain. A searing truth that he has felt himself cling to in the past. Brutality is more honest than the subtle trickery and manipulation that the Sheriff delights in.
- Ambitious - Guy is ambitious because it is all he has left. When everything else has been taken from you, you have only the hope of regaining what was lost to cling to.
- Loyal - His loyalty is unwavering to those he trusts. Betray him and all ties are cut.
- Practical - He wears leather because it is hard-wearing and warm in winter. He wears black to go unnoticed in the dark. He is a man of action, rather than words.
- Unemotional - It is a lie to call him unemotional. He feels like any other man. The thing is that Guy has learnt from his father, from his brother, from King Richard and from the Sheriff that every emotion must be held tightly in check, lest he give too much away of himself.
- Single-minded - His single-mindedness is what keeps him alive. The driving focus on his ambitions and goals allow him to do what he does and act with brutality as necessary.
- Boastful - Guy's boasts of many things. The wealth and position he will have. The loftiness of his ambitions. His power. It is all to distract him from his fear of never achieving these things and failing his father's memory.
- Frustrated - It is own failure and weakness that frustrate Guy. Most of all every new chink in his armour that he discovers and can do nothing to repair.
- Selfish Bully - He had never intended to be this way, in the beginning. He had intended to be a man of God at one time. Now, out of necessity, this is what he has become and his reputation, for the most part, does a lot of the work for him.
