Also among the bandits is Will Scarlet (Christian Slater), who is later revealed to be Robin's illegitimate half-brother. After a short stave battle in a river where Robin outwits the much larger and stronger John (whom Robin gives the semi-mocking title of "Little John"), Robin and Azeem join up with them. They are led by John Little (Nick Brimble). There they meet a band of outlaws hiding from Nottingham's oppressive rule, separated from their families. Robin and Azeem's horses are unable to outrun their pursuers so they ride into Sherwood Forest, an area believed to be haunted. Gisbourne suddenly appears and a furious chase ensues. They travel to Marian's family home where Robin tells her of his brother's bravery in Jerusalem and gives her Peter's ring. At his family castle, Robin finds his father's elderly servant, Duncan, who was blinded by Gisbourne. Robin returns to England to find his father dead, his home in ruins, and the Sheriff and his men oppressing the people. At Locksley castle, Robin's father (Brian Blessed) is lured to the gates and captured by the Sheriff's men after refusing to join them. In England, with King Richard away, the cruel Sheriff of Nottingham (Alan Rickman) rules over the land, aided by his cousin, the Guy of Gisbourne (Michael Wincott) along with the witch Mortianna (Geraldine McEwan) and the corrupt Bishop of Hereford (Harold Innocent). Robin returns to England with Azeem, who vows to accompany Robin until the debt of saving his life is repaid. Robin engineers an escape, saving the life of a Moor, Azeem (Morgan Freeman) in the process Peter dies in the attempt and has Robin swear to protect his sister Marian (Mary Elizabeth Mastrantonio). Robin of Locksley (Kevin Costner), an English nobleman who joined Richard the Lionheart's army in the Third Crusade, is captured and imprisoned in Jerusalem along with his comrade Peter.
