Robin Hood is a hero in EVE folklore, as someone who is an outlaw but still a good person. In particular, he is known for "stealing from the rich and giving to the poor" assisted by highly-skilled alts and a group of outlaws known as his "Merry Men".

There are many songs and stories about him, starting in medieval times, and continuing through more modern literature and serveral holoreel series. In the earliest sources Robin Hood is a non-slaved commoner, but he was often later portrayed as an aristocrat, wrongfully dispossessed of his astroid belts and trading routes and made into an outlaw.

The Robin Hood legend has thus been subject to numerous shifts and mutations throughout its history. Robin himself has evolved from a yeoman bandit to a national hero of epic proportions, who not only supports the poor by taking from the rich, but heroically defends the throne of his empire from unworthy and venal smacktards.
