Thief "Will" Scarlet keeps Rob and his men informed about doings in Nottinghamshire, and in turn they keep their young messenger's secret--he is really a she (with an enigmatic past). Scar's voice is distinctive, and her unique perspective adds new components to the Robin Hood tale, especially as Rob and other familiar characters all vie for her romantic attention.
