Sheriff of Nottingham is an infantry hero available in the Scenario Editor in Age of Empires II. He is based on the main villain in the English legend of Robin Hood whose job is to capture him as well as other outlaws. This is to ensure the safety of trade routes through Sherwood Forest and to prohibit them from poaching the King's Deer.
In-game, he is represented by a Long Swordsman. Like other infantry, Sheriff of Nottingham is affected by all upgrades that affect infantry as well as any other bonuses that affect them, except for Arson (as he unusually has no anti-Standard Building bonus damage). As a hero, he cannot be converted and can regenerate health (since The Conquerors).
