Summary
The Hero of Bowerstone, also known as Sparrow, the Hero of Bower Lake, the Hero of the Spire, the Old Hero King/Queen, and many other titles, is the main protagonist in Fable II. The character may be either male or female, by choice of the player at the beginning of the game. a The Hero of Bowerstone is a descendant of the Hero of Oakvale. This is most commonly accepted, as Theresa states in the ruined Chamber of Fate that the Hero of Oakvale was the Hero of Bowerstone's "forebear". This is also proven in "The Hero of Oakvale", one of the books in Albion, where it speaks of the Hero of Oakvale having a descendant who shall one day save Albion. There is more reason to believe this, with the addition of access to the treasure chest of the Hero of Southcliff, in the Chamber of Fate. Out-of-game lore suggests that only the descendants of the Hero can open the chest.
In the beginning of the game, the Hero of Bowerstone is referred to by the title of "Sparrow", which in the game appears synonymous with being youthful, and prepared to set out to see the world. However, it is also possible that Sparrow is his/her real name, as opposed to 'Chicken Chaser' or any other of the titles available for renaming. The Hero is more often referred to Sparrow, including in certain cutscenes, despite their current title. If one keeps the title of Sparrow later in the game, villagers mock its childishness. "Sparrow", or "little sparrow", is also a term of endearment, similar to "honey" or "dear", and is generally used with children, so it is also very possible that this is the case here.
The hero had a sister, Rose, who was killed by Lucien. Theresa, the blind Seeress, acts as a guardian from the moment Lucien shoots the Hero, until they reach adolescence, in which they begin to explore the world of Albion.

Notable Attacks/Techniques
-Blades: Summons mystical blades to fly at the caster's enemies.
-Chaos: Summons a Mask of Madness to scramble the minds of the caster's opponents. The result of this is somewhat random.

-Inferno: Sends forth either a ball of flames, or an explosion of omnidirectional fire.
-Raise Dead: Summons the spectral shadows of fallen creatures to fight for the caster.
