The Tyrant King

"Aurora will become part of Albion, but they must work for this priviledge!"

- Tyrant Brightwall King

The Tyrant King, also known as the Evil Hero of Brightwall, is the alternate universe version of the protagonist of Fable III, in which the player takes the evil path to become the ruler of the fictional magical kingdom of Albion. The gender of the character is based on the player's own choosing.

The Evil Hero started as a young prince or princess who was driven by his tyrannical older brother Logan, who was the King of Albion, to stage a revolution after the latter executed his lover in order to "teach" him a lesson. Throughout the journey, he found allies for the cause but became increasingly cruel and harsh (and mischievous) as time goes by. In choosing the wrong path, he treated the civilians and subordinates of his realm as mere tools, verbally mistreating them and even forcing some, like the civilians of Understone, to slavery to fuel the revolution. The Evil Hero was merciless, executing the heads of his oppositions and letting communities rot in his wake. Nonetheless, the people of Albion, while fearing him, still regarded him as a hero just like his parent before.

In the end, the Evil Hero finally takes the throne away from Logan after ordering his execution, becoming the King of Albion. Tragically, he became just, or even far more tyrannical as his brother, and with the looming threat of a creature called the Crawler, he continued the production of massive factories and the enslavement of the populace to battle this threat. He broke several promises with his allies in order to concentrate funding the battle against the Darkness. By the end of the game, the Evil Hero successfully defeated the Crawler, at the cost of Albion having a negative reception of his/her rule.
