Nibor Hood is a Unique Spawn and the leader of the Outlaws.
Background[]
Nibor Hood is the leader of the Outlaws, or what used to be called the Free Men. Hood founded the Free Men because he saw the Tolranian government quickly transitioning from the promised republic to a more authoritarian state and wanted to take up arms against this injustice. Over time, however, his forces were beaten back by the more powerful Tolranian military, and in increasingly desperate attempts to save his cause, he started to fill his ranks with criminals and outlaws. Today, the name "Free Men" has been largely replaced by another name, "Outlaws," to reflect the true nature of Nibor Hood's forces: a miscellaneous collection of bandits, looters, and other groups seeking refuge from the law. Although Hood still refers to his men as the Free Men, it is clear to anyone outside the organisation that his past agenda for political reform and justice has been greatly diluted over the years.
Little is known about Nibor Hood's personal life, besides that he was born and raised in the Tolranian lake village of Ander. He is also the brother of the current claimant to the Tolranian throne, Lady Tylora.

Trivia[]
Nibor is the word Robin reversed, an indication that Nibor Hood's character inspiration was the story of Robin Hood. However, it is clear that Nibor is more of an anti-hero bordering on a villain and thus different from how Robin Hood was portrayed in his story.
When you use the word "Nibor" anywhere on the gaming platform Steam, it is censored, such as in a description of an uploaded M&B: Warband - Perisno screenshot. The reason is probably because the people in charge consider it a 'replacement' of a racial slur and thus treat it as if it actually were one.
