Fable: The Lore Behind Reaver
ฝัง
- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 8 ก.ย. 2024
- Have you ever wondered where Reaver came from and how he evolved through the years? I went to Albion and had a look.
I started Skyrionn to go back and look at easter eggs and the little details in classic video games. From that, I’ve moved on to looking at timelines and lore in video games.

I hope they will add him in the next fable game if they decide to go with the same story, he is iconic
M Muss yes if😞🙏
It will be a New fable game, but it's kind of different. It furthers the history we know so far, I don't know how many years it'll be after the fable 3 or Who you are playing as. But apparently you'll travel between planets this time.
He sucks
@@andreasul2608 demon doors already travel between planets and honestly Fable wouldn't be scifi,
1 was medieval
2 was Victorian and
3 was the industrial revolution
4 would likely be the next real iconic era of British history and technological progress, the early 20th century.
The next fable game is after fable the journey. Albion and Aurora are gone, and Theresa and the heroes guild are through a demon door
I'm surprised you didnt mention the book follow ups to Fable 3. Reaver really shines pure evil in those. For all Fable 3's faults it was still an enjoyable game for me, and I hate how book writers did the PC dirty.
Fable 3 isn't necessarily a bad game. But they did take a step back from Fable 2's mechanics, especially with the expression wheel.
I was trying to be considerate of what was considered canon - I may do a separate video on all of the information available. Fable 3 was a good game (in my opinion), I just preferred the first two.
@@Skyrionn Fable 3 was essentially something that should have been a DLC story of Fable 2. The story is extremely short, the worlds is extremely empty and even the things that are worth exploring are 90% fighting enemies, 9% exploring and 1% treasure, while in fable 1 and 2, it was about 40% fighting enemies, 40% exploring and 20% treasure. Essentially, you had good reasons to go off the main trail because there might be something extremely valuable hidden there, or at least a good story of what happened before you got there.
If Fable 3 was simply slapped as a DLC on Fable 2, with the world being actually pre-generated based on your decisions(which doesnt need to be much, Reaver and Logan did create most of Fable 3's setting in the first place, so 99% of the look of the game would be the same, but also have an altered Bloodstone, Oakfield and Brightwood available based on the previous hero's actions alone would be amazing.
What is the book called that you are talking about?
@@kenzself98 Fable: Edge of the World
"he had acquired 5 of the 6 dragonstomper .48 guns made, 4 of which he had killed the previous owners"
i feel like i heard reaver say that one too many times
I like to think that if Reaver ever found out the main character from Fable 2 obtained a dragonstomper and locked in a chest for his son that he would kill his son for the gun
Me who has 3 Dragonstomper .48's in Fable 3 *gulps*
I wanted Garth to be the good advisor to the Hero king/queen as a balance against Reaver.
Garth is dead by fable 3
@@leakyrexa1060 in Fable: Edge of the World it is revealed that he's alive. Garth is using his Will powers to extend his life. Much like Theresa. (Her foresight is a form of Will magic.)
Also Edge of the World is canon considering it is referenced in Journey.
He has another ability of extreme agility. That plus his accuracy is what allowed him to deflect a bullet with a cane. Something I love is that while Reaver's abilities as a hero aren't the most flashy (compared to the player who casts fireballs and lightning), but he is incredibly dangerous. His wealth and long life have made him extremely influential, and he could snipe you from hundreds of metres away without you ever knowing he was coming.
My week has sucked but this is making it just a tad better :)
It’s just started!
Great! , Reaver is my favorite character. From what i have read Reaver didnt actually did the deal because vanity (maybe in part) but ,as he stated in his diary, he did it more of the fear of death and didnt know it will cause the death of okvale. As back in the day he was actually very different "week" as Reaver called it, and was actually the horror of what he did that lead him to become what he is now.
Reaver is definitely one of the most interesting characters in the fable series. And Stephen fry's vocal performance is amazing
Stephen Fry is iconic.
id play a fable game as reaver telling his story
I'd be happy with that!
@Gonzalo Donayre ok scam
Actually it's not unknown rather Reaver comes back to Albion or not, in one of the books it's stated that he actually becomes ruler after the death of the hero of brightwall
Some of the books are not considered actual canon and so I was reluctant to put that in. I may create another video with all of the information. (Canon and not canon).
@@Skyrionn In Fale The Journey though, which I think is canon, its stated reaver runs bowerstone
Books?
Actually the Hero of Brightwall didn’t die. We don’t know if he died in Samarkand or not. That and he doesn’t actually become ruler outright. He rules through Queen Laylah. Also Fable: Edge of the World is canon.
Bro what Reaver is King?
I love this! It's been 12 years but it's so nice to see that i'm not the only one who still loves Fable. Also very well made video friend!
Glad you enjoyed it!
Nice! Can we get a video on the family line of the Hero of Oakvale?
Such an interesting request
I'll add it to the list and see what I can dig up :)
I really hope we get to see reaver return in the new fable game. I love him, his personality, his sense of style, his hubris just makes such an interesting character, a shame we couldn't romance him in any older fable game.
Holy crap, these we're uploaded RECENTLY. Ain't that coincidental! I've been playing the absolute shit out of Fable 2, so it's nice to be getting this content now. Also since I've been holding off on meeting Reaver, this video in particular is perfect before I go and say hi. Thanks for the content, my guy, keep it up!
Hey! Welcome to the channel. Stick around :) I upload timelines, lore videos and currently doing a playthrough on livestream every Wednesday :)
IKR? My exact reaction!
I love reaver so much! and thank you so much for making this
Thank you for watching :)
I so hope there is a Fable 4 and Reaver returns.
Another great video. Glad to see that someone is still keeping Fable alive. Can't wait for the next one.
More to come!
This was brilliant! Thank you for your work, this game means a lot to me, I have so many childhood memories regarding these music, imagines and characters. I'm so glad that someone still speaks about this game on the internet, and the fact that videos like this one are so rare makes them even more precious and beautiful, as they carry the same mysterious and "for few ones only" magic that the first Fable game had :)
Glad you enjoy it! I love the game too, and I also have so many memories. Stick around. There's more to come :)
Really interesting mate. Maybe it would be interesting to make one about. Lord lucien 🙂
I'll put him on the list :)
The best days are the ones that start with Fable lore videos
Yes! Life motto :)
Idk who you are but this came up in my recommendation and I wasn't disappointed. Anything fable is good fable.
I'm so glad you found the channel. We stream Fable on Wednesdays and also have a Discord server (in the description).
Another job well done mate. I think a look at Logan would be interesting!
I enjoy Reaver, I couldn't play Fable 3 mainly because I didn't like the setting but I am no surprised he became an industrial kingpin. Also I do love how in Fable 2, if you don't kill Lucien and he begins monologing, Reaver will just shoot him.
YESSSSSSSS I CLICKED SO FAST!
I know you've been asking for it :P
This brings up something I've always been a bit confused about as far as Heroes go. The main protagonist in each game is in some way related to William Black, the first Hero able to use will abilities. However Fable 2 shows that you can have other heroes that are skilled in only one of the three possible abilities. So are these other Heroes related to William and simply didn't unlock the other abilities because of a genetic lottery or were there other blood lines out there that just had a really high affinity for one skill? Garth for example is a master of Will, but he is seemingly from a completely different country so how he could be related to William Black is unclear; meanwhile Theresa seems to only be skilled in Will usage when she should be able of using all three abilities.
Archon Bloodline = Able to use all 3.
Non Archon Blood Hero = Only able to use one of 3.
Literally made my day to see this video! Reaver is my favourite Fable character. Having said that though, I have been playing lute in Fable 3 for hours now to earn enough money so I don't have to side with him to save the kingdom. 😂
haha! I'd say invest in properties. I've also heard that the economy is so easy to manipulate :P
It's so true! Property investment is the way forward, but the villagers are such moaners if you don't lower it straight away! 😂 I also resorted to betting on the chicken races! The Colonel won me two million, eventually.
I wouldve loved a game following his tale! I think hes a really cool character! I'm a huge fable fan ☆
He's pretty well written. Welcome!
THESHE VIDEOS ARE EXELENT!! NOT MANY MADE FABLE LORE VIDEOS. THANS Skyrionn
Dude, if the new Fable 4 game DOES NOT have Reaver in it, Im going to be immensely disappointed. 😞
This guy has so much backstory behind him, yet NOTHING about his arc has been resolved yet!
I want to know if he ever fails to make a sacrifice or gets some sort of redemption, 'cause he has hinted that he was a different man and has NEVER truly been able to get over his traumatic past. He's got ghosts to deal with and it'd be amazing if we the Hero had the option to help him somehow.
Such a great video, as always! I would love if you could make a lore video on Garth one day. Although maybe there isn't enough information about him for a whole video (idk.)
I've got him on the list :)
Garth is dope
Reaver is my favorite Charakter in the Fable series
That's awesome! I'm unsure on who mine is. There are so many to pick from.
@@Skyrionn that's true
I just found your channel and I practically already love it!
I love your work on the lore of Fable and I really enjoy your videos, Congratulations!
Welcome aboard! Stick around for more :D
Love it man, I’m glad your lore videos are getting longer
Man this was short but informative
keep vids like this coming bro
Length is something I have worked on lately. May come back to older videos and maybe improve them
@@Skyrionn Actually the short length is very nice
well i enjoy short informative vids
anyways i surely will watch your older vids
i was actually just gonna watch one
anyways have a nice day
5:29 beautiful image!
I'm so happy for Fable lore man, I played fable 1 when I was younger and 3 when I got it for free through xbox gold and fell in love the game series.
Watching these made me finally go and buy Fable 2, and I can't wait to hear stuff for the new game coming soon!
Enjoy the experience again! I hope that nostalgia hits well :)
this made my day so much better loved the character and his story was sad to me he didnt want to kill everyone he didnt know and that broke him and made him who he is. really love your lore videos anytime I see one I am just smiling and happy. Fable was a HUGE part for me growing up heck I still play it now lol.
I'm so happy you like them! You should join in the livestream today at 19:00 BST where we're doing a Fable playthrough!
How this man always know what fable fan wants to find out more of?? Definitely got my subscription, for what it's worth
That's awesome, thank you! If there is anything you would like to see, lemme know!
I need more reaver in this new fable game to come up. Maybe have him be more apart of the main story?
Loving the lore series, mate! You're doing the Lord's work :)
Lord Molyneux! All hail! May his tale never end!
Thank you for watching :)
I think it’s mentioned in a book which is set after the events of fable 3 that the hero of brightwall gets captured in Samarkand and the spouse of the hero is tricked out of boweadtone castle by reaver who appoints himself mayor, I may or may not have gotten that fully correct though.
I did read that, but I wasn't sure if it was canon. I may do another video which includes everything.
Ok I think I’m not gonna go read that now bc when I found out there was books that mentioned what might’ve happened to the hero and the husband for me it’s Elliot I was excited bc I rooted for them and wanted to know they got a happy ending and that uh does not sound like what I wanted
3:43 Reaver frees himself if you do nothing for long enough. Next to to theresa and Scythe (William black)(?) he is pretty strong
You make such high quality Fable lore videos! Keep up the hard work!
Thank you! I will!
Thanks for making this video!! Now I gotta play all Fable games again !
Have fun!
Fable The Journey has Rever a hundred or so years later still doing his thing
Crazy how reaver comes off as just an over the top bad ass but if you know his backstory and the reason he is the way he is you realize his character is actually really tragic.
I really hope he will be part of the new Fable game. since it's already coming from a different studio and will therefore probably be different to the others, it would be a dumb move to not include him in the new one. fans are already pretty sceptical if the 4th game will live up to the hype and bringing Reaver back would definitely solve that.
THANK YOU!! I just officially subbed
No, THANK YOU for subscribing!
I NEED to see Reaver in the next game going up against the court
I like your content a lot. Sometimes though your frequent pauses in the middle of sentences are distracting though but that could just be me. Keep up the great work!!!
I wanna see The person Reaver was in love with… and what he was before all the evil happened.
Probably a gay fan fic somewhere
He was extremely lucky that he was sent in the finale to Samarkand, otherwise his head would be another trophy in my house.
Or yours would be in his.
reaver was always my favourite fable character
Loved this, Keep it up man :)
Thank you!
My fucking favorite villian in fable
snap
This was great. I've not played Fable in so long.
Now is the time to start :)
This was a most excellent biography of my life!
Wow I found you yesterday what a coincidence.
I'm glad you found me! Stick around for lore and Fable livestreams :)
He better come back in Fable 4 because I'm hooked
Another great video! I am really hoping we see something on Fable 4 this year!!
We can only hope!
Do one about Garth and hammer.
On the list :)
Another great vid, its a shame that not many people remember or know the rich/dark/colourful lore of fable
I know! There's so many tones to it.
Would also love to see a lore behind Theresa
As well as the history of Fairfax castle
A Fairfax castle episode could be interesting.
I loved Reaver. I wished he had a greater role in the second game.
Hope he appears on the next fable game!
Me too!
Is there any lore on why Reaver tried to kill Garth? Could be a video idea to read into that, would be very interesting :))
It's skipped past in the book sadly!
@@Skyrionn damn, thankyou anyways :)
I believe he tried killing Garth because Reaver couldnt find anything that he wanted in Samarkand lmao (sort of hinted in his book in Fable 3 'Reaver on Reaver') FROM what I remember lol it's been a minute since I read that book
DO THE SHADOW COURT!
If i can find enough information, I'll see what I can put together!
I never knew Reaver was involved in Fable 1, 2 and 3. Always thought when I played fable 3 and first meet him, he was some famous industrial man and playboy.
He's all over really
Do a lore video about Rose from Fable 2
Amazing video bud! Are their any other game series that you might cover?
Thank you! I've got a few ideas but pretty focused on Fable and Half-life/ Portal for now.
for those who haven't read the books (spoiler alert)
After the events of Fable 3 Reaver makes these weird hybrids that Ben Finn, Page, a gnome, and some other guy had to put down in this one village not mentioned before. Later in another book Reaver acts as the queen's (not the hero queen the wife of the hero king) advisor and later turns her against her other loyal advisors General Timmins and Page (while the hero king is away) and usurps the throne... the series ends on a cliffhanger with Reaver having control of the sanctuary and the hero king being captured by the temptress from Fable: the Journey but it is implied that the king remained captured, the throne was eventually taken back but they had to deal with the loss of the king, and Reaver remained alive and still slithering his way to power seeing how he is mentioned as head of industry in Fable: The Journey... I asked Christie Golden if she'd ever finish the series over twitter but due to her employment at blizzard it would be a "Conflict of interest" it looks like for now at least we will be left with only speculation and theory as to how the story ends.
twitter.com/ChristieGolden/status/1256328440354967554
@Abigail np
can you make one about ben finn? if you have the time
Question: why did you not put the information from the book edge of the world and the journey?
It think that especially the book ones are very important..
PS: Pls do one about lucien
It's questioned whether they are canon, and so I may make a separate video about that.
Yes! Brilliant idea!
I like to think that Reaver is actually the Hero of Oakvale, and that an evil pure skill playthrough is canon for Fable 1. His origin story is just almost word for word the same as the Hero of Oakvales. They both grew up in Oakvale and witness it being destroyed. They both kill a pirate king (Twinblade) and in like the same place too! They're both bald. Reaver even mentions a womans cries during the destruction of Oakvale, could this be referring to Theresa?? I doubt it - knowing Reaver it was probably a love interest he had. She is never named though. But I would love if this had happened as a big plot twist. Something that always confused me about Fable 1 is - the citizens of albion all like to say in books and stuff that The Hero of Oakvale defeated Jack twice with the sword of aeons. But for that to be the case he would have had to have killed Theresa (throwing her corpse into the void) but, she's around in Fable 2. Okay so what if - Lucien is dead, Fable 2 is ending and not only is Theresa revealed to be a walking corpse possessed by the queen of blades - but Reaver is her brother and murderer! And guess what? He still has Jacks mask! *gasp* :3 alright alright there are holes lol. But I would love it either way. Fable always lacked that big plot twist moment that turns everything you thought you knew on its head, and most rpg's have that sorta thing. I was severely disappointed that nothing big and evil happened with Theresa in Fable 3. That was kinda what Fable 2 implied with her. She was clearly only interested in the power of the spire.
Reaver is NOT bald.. where the hell did you get that from 😒 let me guess... you can buy a wig that looks like his.. that doesnt mean ANYTHING 🤣🤣
@@xFairytalePrincessx lol you got a good point. I actually took a lot of these points from an old post on FableHero.com. Basically I think its possible Reaver wears a wig, but I suppose there's no evidence for that, beyond that Reaver seems very stylish and obsessed with his looks. There is evidence that suggests the Hero of Oakvale may be canonically bald however, since he's bald in a lot of the promotional material and during the startup logo.
Edit: I guess I mean it would kinda fit Reavers character if it were a wig.
@@jordansmith6959 lol I know I read that took and shook my head (about him being bald) people are silly when it comes to theories (not you just the original post) and sorry for the long reply I just came onto this like, just now to see the comments lol
But I dont believe Reaver to be bald as I dont think it would suit his character. (Yeah he is vain) but it would be better to have him actually have hair lol plus no mention of him being bald whatsoever in the games :)
@@xFairytalePrincessx I think I agree on that point and honestly, I find this idea extremely fun, but I shook my head on reading it for the first time too lmao - the OG post on the forum devolved into a quite frankly embarrassing fight too lol. It's definitely the sorta thing where it's like - "Wellll, maybe?' Personally, I had some time to think about this and I think it'd be cool if Reaver were the son of the hero of oakvale and perhaps lady grey? Then these weird similarities could take on a "like father like son" sort of cliche.
@@jordansmith6959 lol I agree! Plus I sometimes have an arguement about his age too lol People say hes just 'over 250' but i did math and stuff and went by what was said in the game and came out at near 'hes like 650-700 or so'. But it would be cool if he WAS the hero of Oakvale... would be quite a surprise/shock to people lmao
Still enjoying this content!
any idea why reaver tried to kill garth?
why didn't garth finish off reaver? or continue to hunt him down. I'm pretty curious
He grew frustrated with Garth basically. Garth escaped but had no real interest in following Reaver back to Albion, staying with some monks instead.
Handsome jack before handsome jack!
Reaver is Industry.
Bro you're the best!
You're the best for watching!
i like your channel. i hope it grows n grows
Thank you! Stick around, you'll see a ton more Fable content :)
I love reaver!!!!!!! Hope hes gonna be in the next game!!!!!!! 😶😶😶😶😆😆😆 hes great!!! Thanks for making this video!!!!!
Me too!
What happened to oakvale also happened in Snowspire only a bit different.
Pretty tragic! I'm planning on covering Necropolis soon.
@@Skyrionn Cool. It seems alot of towns in Albion fall to some greedy man.
Great character
Absolutely! Brilliant character.
Gath and Hammer... please
On the list! I'm looking forward to making them!
@@Skyrionn I'm looking forward to watching those, mate
I love fable!!!!!!
Me too!
We need a tv show about Reaver 😂
Do the hero of strength plz
She's on the list :)
We need a lore behind Mourningwood.
I'll add it to the list :)
You should ask to Join the next fable game I think you would be a good story teller in the game
The best thing I never asked for❤
Thanks for watching :)
I hope we get fable 4 next gen
Me too!
damn, i never knew. this is wild.
Hands down the best character in 2 & 3
Hope you could do The Court and The Void at some point.
I would love to, but the information on those guys is so small. May combine it with another topic though :)
@@Skyrionn No problem. Just an idea, as I've always been fascinated with them. But yeah, the info is pretty scarce. ^_^
I think I covered all I could with the Fable timeline video. It's about 18 minutes long
He better be in fable 4
I liked 2 the best because 3 was a watered down 2 in many ways.
I downloaded 1. Give me motivation to play it lol👇
I totally forgot that Reaver was in Fable 3. What's the time gap between 2 and 3?
50 years I think?
R.i.p barnum
u fight a banshee b4 you meet reaver who is at a building called ursulas home for lost children so its assume this is her u r fighting, and reaver mentions Ursula bei g some e he slept with and a jealous woman burned his house down because of it. Because she is a banshee she simmins little shadow kids that look similar to the court of shadows, it seems she coulda even one of reavers sacrifices but the. Why is she a banshee now, their isnt always an answer to fable questions but just something I always wondered
I wanna know about what happened to rose when she came back who took her and why
She ended up with Scythe in a seemingly magical forest realm where time moves differently.
