Like fellow Hero Briar Rose, Scythe's role is greatly expanded upon in the continued story of Fable: The Lost Chapters. He can be found in conversation with Maze if the Hero of Oakvale explores the grounds of the Heroes' Guild. Scythe makes his first appearance in the Fable The Lost Chapters. Scythe reappeared and proposed Weaver as the new Guildmaster, seeing in him the serene and impartial man he would become. After much bloodshed, the rebellion finally succeeded, and the civil war came to an end. However, Weaver, Maze, and many other guild members at the time led a revolution against this policy to allow heroes to choose their destiny. Long after Nostro's death, the Heroes' Guild eventually established a new regime that only allowed quest cards that were strictly law-abiding and virtuous. With Nostro's death, Scythe disappeared into obscurity once more. Scythe, refusing to aid his former pupil after bearing witness to his fall, nevertheless forgave him and stood vigil at his side after he was poisoned by an assassin, staying with him until he died at the first light of the sun. Through her influence, the Heroes' Guild became a degenerate house of greedy mercenaries and Nostro's influence waned. Scythe, who had hoped that Nostro could bring Albion together for the first time since the days of the Old Kingdom, watched his dreams be dashed with the appearance of Magdalena, a power-hungry courtesan who became Nostro's wife. These histories mention Scythe serving as the mentor of the bandit-turned-Hero Nostro, who, under Scythe's guidance, created the Heroes' Guild in order to put an end to the violence that cursed Albion's people and unite the land under a single banner once more. If one studies the history of Albion, they first hear the figure referred to as Scythe mentioned after the fall of the Old Kingdom in the grip of Albion's anarchist period, known as the Fallow Wars. After describing William Black's journey into The Void to cast off the Corruption that afflicted him during his first voyage to the Void, she claims that William Black disappeared, never seen again in a form that would be recognizable to the denizens of the Old Kingdom. This theory is additionally supported in Fable: The Journey, in which Theresa details the story of William Black to Gabriel while traveling in Miremoor. This is suggested in descriptions of the Archon vanishing while wearing golden mail and a blue robe, the same clothing that Scythe is dressed in at the time of Fable: The Lost Chapters. One common theory regarding Scythe's true identity is that he is most likely William Black, the first Archon of the Old Kingdom. Scythe walked the earth long before the guild was created, and even the Oracle of Snowspire is unsure of many things that he has done. Jack of Blades is often considered the only one who has " seen and done more" than him.
This is futher supported by Maze who mocks him in front of the Hero of Oakvale for his frail appearance and unwillingness to accept his fate, after an argument about the Northern Wastes. Scythe is introduced as a figure of legend among even the Heroes' Guild, a Hero that is utterly obsessed with cheating death. His body is very old and decrepit which suggests that he has been alive for a very long time. Scythe also wears gold armour that is mostly covered by a blue and white robe, which is surrounded by multiple bags and pockets. He also has unique white and blue tattoos covering his face, similar to the tattoos which can be seen in Snowspire Village, which is wrapped in a blue cloth or bandage. He is shown as a withered shell of a man, resembling a tall, mummified corpse. Bearing robes and his signature Scythe weapon, which is where he most likely gets his Hero title from. Scythe's appearance resembles that of the personifaction of Death.
