Robin Hood - Tuck

Tuck trained as a priest at Fountains Abbey but he became more and more disillusioned with the corruption of church and state and was eventually kicked out for his outspoken views. He travelled as a monk across Europe and his experiences from his travels and his years in the Abbey made him realise that time is running out for England. Something has to be done now to stop the corruption.

An outspoken, passionate character, Tuck's left-field thinking can either be ingenious or make him a liability. He will at times tell Robin his plans, but never ask for his approval. If he thinks his plan is the right one then he will do it. This can annoy Robin, especially as Tuck's plans can go wrong. But Robin can see the value in Tuck - he is strong and wise, an inspiring second in command. His passion for the cause is infectious and binds the outlaws strongly together.
