King Logan
He is the tyrannical ruler of the Kingdom of Albion after the death of his parent, the Hero of Bower Lake, and is the older sibling of the Hero of Brightwall.
As the eldest child of the Hero of Bower Lake, Logan ascends to the monarchy shortly after their death, appointing Walter as his royal adviser. Once in power, Logan continued to power Albion's Industrial Revolution, but was nevertheless still seen as a just ruler in the early years of his rule. He is later seen as a tyrant due to his treatment of the kingdom and its people as he attempts to raise an army, and is seen to "value industry over human suffering".
For most of his rule, Logan continued to fuel the industrial revolution as a just ruler as his parents did before him; however, at least five to six years before the start of Fable III, he travelled to the continent of Aurora and ended up passing through Shadelight, where he came in contact with the Crawler and his minions. In the ensuing battle, all of his men were quickly slain, and he would have been killed too were it not for Kalin, the new leader of the City of Aurora. As thanks, he promised the Aurorans that he would protect them from the Darkness, which had readily destroyed most civilization on Aurora. Upon his return home, the blind seer Theresa appeared and told him that the Darkness would come for Albion in five years time, destroying every vestige of life with no regard to pity or mercy. This revelation, combined with his own personal experience of the Darkness and the Crawler, resulted in him devoting everything to the creation of an army to defend his country from the forthcoming invasion.
In his efforts to save the land he loved, Logan became a hated tyrant all across Albion and was largely responsible for the unprecedented suffering that befell its people. He increased the tax, effectively shut down schooling and education, and forced the people to work long hours in the factories. When even this was not enough, Logan turned the running of the country's industry and economy over to Reaver, who effectively cut wages by one hundred percent and introduced both slavery and child labour. He also set about replacing the Royal Army with his fanatical Elite Soldiers, sending those who protest to posts where they are likely to die. This was the fate of the Swift Brigade.
