Origin[]
His chief appearance is in the ballad "A Gest of Robyn Hode" in which his name first appears when Little John uses it as an alias when he sneaks in to work for the Sheriff. It is later revealed to be the name of an actual Merry Men when they are fleeing from the Sheriff in the aftermath of the archery contest and Reynold is named as one of Robin's men who had accompanied him along with Little John, Gilbert Whitehand and Will Scarlet. He is given no real characterization though he must be an archer since he was competing in an archery competition.
Later Life[]
Pardoned by King Richard alongside the rest of the Merry Men after the King's return.
