Elizabeth had asked where Elijah was so she may thank him. Theresa replied that she would pass along her thanks to him. She is unlocked with Fable: The Journey , via gameplay on the same memory device and with the same profile.
In the character introduction on Lionhead's website, Theresa is officially confirmed as a powerful Will user where it is also stated that her weapons of choice consist of the Force Push Spell Gauntlet and Fireball Spell Gauntlet.
Theresa the Blind, Seer of Albion. Sister to the Hero of Oakvale and descendant of the Archons, countless tales have been told of this mysterious woman. Apparently ageless, Theresa is a Will user of exceptional power, though she rarely acts directly. Her blindness proved a boon to Hero Doll producers everywhere, to whom her traumatic childhood encounter with Jack of Blades represents a chance to sell a line of accessories.
Theresa does make a minor appearance at the very end of Fable: Edge of the World. The King of Albion has a dream and Theresa appears before him. Theresa holds her arms out and a dove lands on her right arm, and a raven on her left. Theresa then speaks " born a hero you were and a Hero you are. Darkness has indeed come to Albion and few there are and will yet be who can stand against it.
But do not despair, King of Albion. The world has changed. The time approaches swiftly when Heroes are not born, they are made ". Theresa then throws her arms up causing the birds to vanish. The King awakes to find two feathers, one white, one black. The King then understands that his dream was actually a vision. Being wounded by the Corruptors's lieutenant, the Devourer , Theresa was forced to evacuate the Tattered Spire. Apprehensively running through a dark forest, Theresa encounters a young dweller driving his horse and carriage.
She pleads for his help, though he attempts to abandon her due to the terrifying sound coming from the woods. Theresa calls out the dweller by his first name, Gabriel.
He reluctantly returns to guide her back to his caravan. Theresa instructs the dweller to drive quickly toward the light to escape the Devourer. She warns Gabriel that anything the creature consumes, it corrupts with evil. Once they've escaped, Gabriel notices his horse, Seren , has a dark fragment in her right hip. Gabriel removes the splinter that caused Seren's discomfort. Gabriel asks Theresa how she knew his name.
Theresa reveals herself as a seer but also alerts Gabriel that his horse is now infected, and will not survive. She informs him that he can heal his horse at a nearby cave known as the Spirit Chambers. Theresa warns Gabriel that saving Seren will come at a price.
Out of desperation, Gabriel accepts the risk. Inside the chambers lies the pool of sight. Theresa tells about the three heroes guarding the pool. Sol , the hero of light, Blaze , the hero of fire and Stone , the hero of the fallen. Long ago, these heroes sacrificed themselves to save Albion. The pool grants Gabriel a devastating vision but also awards him the gauntlets.
Once Gabriel saves Seren's life, he accuses Theresa of tricking him, for the Gauntlets are now part of him. Theresa promises to remove the gauntlets if Gabriel can retrieve the first Willstone from a nearby temple. Gabriel agrees, and the two head off. The relationship between the dweller and the seer starts rough. Theresa begins to share with Gabriel about her past and her motives - something of which she has never done. Theresa shares that she has been Albion's overseer for five hundred years; it has been her duty, and not a choice.
Theresa states she is the last of the hero bloodline, all that remains of the "old order". Thersa also mentioned that she has seen "a thousand strands of possibilities" as she stands at the peripheral of this world. While going through Thorndeep - forest , Gabriel acknowledged Theresa's power of foresight, but questioned how she was able to see where they were going.
Theresa stated that "physical sight" is only one way of observing the world, and even though her eyes are long gone, she can see in "other ways". The two seek shelter from a man named Fergus. Fergus agrees to help them get to the temple. Theresa begins to grow weaker as the night goes on. There is even a moment where she moans as she feels her wounds start to worsen.
Gabriel gets offended that Theresa acknowledges him as a Hero, and states he was not born with powers like her. Theresa explains that it may be hard to believe, but she was not born the way she is now, either. Theresa shares how she was once a daughter and a sister.
Theresa goes into detail on how her village was burnt to the ground when she was young. Her father murdered, and her mother dragged away was the last thing she saw before the "abomination", Jack of Blades, sliced out her eyes. Theresa reminisces on how Twinblade found her barely alive and how she joined his bandit clan.
Twinblade protected her, but as she got older, she discovered her powers, and she ended up protecting him. Afterwards, Fergus and Gabriel travel to the temple to collect the Willstone. Following the death of Fergus, Gabriel defeated the Devourer.
Theresa honours her promise and attempts to remove the gauntlets. Gabriel changes his mind and agrees to accept the responsibility to save Albion. Theresa and Gabriel set off to find the next Willstone. While travelling through Miremoor , Theresa explains to Gabriel how the Corruptor was created.
William's soul became infected during his time in the void, but he was able to save Albion from enslavement by doing so. William had brought peace and therefore was crowned Archon of the Old Kingdom. The stain on his soul, however, caused the Archon to slowly waste away, and his spirit twisted by "festering darkness".
William gave up the crown, and returned to the void where he was able to purge his soul of the evil spirit. William sealed the dark piece of his soul in the void forever or so he had hoped. Over time, that demented spirit grew, and continuously tried to re-enter the world to reclaim "his" throne. The third lieutenant was The Crawler , but the three heroes sealed the creature " beneath the earth " when it first emerged.
Theresa stated that once he purged his soul, William Black was never seen again, " at least not in any form that those who knew him would recognize".
As the two continue to look for the second temple, Theresa mentions that the hero, Stone, had many powerful descendants, including Hammer. Before Gabriel collects the Willstone, Theresa shares with him how she travelled to the east after Jack of Blades's death.
She spent centuries studying in the great libraries of Samarkand. It is here she learned of The Spire, and how it may assist her in preventing anyone from suffering her fate again. Searching for the final Willstone, the two discover a young farm girl named Betty. Betty seeks aid searching for her father after her convoy was attacked and killed by Hobbes. At nightfall, Betty becomes abducted by a dark creature and whales for help.
Theresa begins to feel sceptical and believes that this is a ruse. Unexpectedly, they find Betty at The Prism , the temple that contains the final Willstone. Once Gabriel collects the Willstone, it is clear that Betty lured the seer and the dweller into a trap. Betty reveals herself as the Corrupter's bride - The Temptress. Theresa begins to lose hope, for she failed to see through the Temptress's disguise, as well as failed to foresee her arrival.
The Temptress taunts Theresa asking her if she can feel the corruption poisoning her soul, causing her to be truly blind. The Temptress throws Theresa up against a piece of rock, telling her that she failed. Gabriel defeats the Temptress's hypnosis trick, which ultimately downfalls the Temptress herself.
The two confused and ashamed; Gabriel and Theresa sit by the fire quietly. Gabriel admits to Theresa that he started having feelings for "Betty", and apologizes for putting both him and the seer in danger.
Theresa replies that it is easy to be driven by emotions. Theresa shares one of her darkest secrets with Gabriel, as well as one of her most profound burdens. Learning of the Tattered Spire, Theresa resolved to have it rebuilt and use its power to protect Albion from evil. It was with this in mind that the blind seer finally returned home and sought out someone with the means to rebuild The Spire.
Theresa used Lucien's grief and manipulated him into rebuilding the Spire to resurrect his family. Lucien's grief converted into obsession and passion, forcing him to enforce strict obedience to ensure The Spire's completion. Lucien killed many innocent slaves within The Spire that failed to follow his obedience.
Lucien had also killed Sparrow's sister Rose due to their heroic bloodline being a threat to the reconstruction. Theresa, once again, used Sparrow's grief to overthrow Lucien once he completed The Spire. Theresa was ultimately responsible for all the innocent deaths, which in turn awoke the Corruptor from his slumber.
Once she claimed The Spire, Theresa had shed tears when she realized the real cost of her plan. Theresa closes her story by saying she will always bear the burden, but their deaths showed her, without sacrifice, there can be no victory. The final objective for the dweller and the seer was to reach The Spire.
The Spire is where Gabriel could confront the Corruptor, and seal the rift leading into the void. Theresa conveys the story of the three heroes, and how Sol, Blaze, and Stone attempt to seal the rift that the first Spire had created. The rift was a tear in the fabric between Albion, and the void. On the night before the Corruptor's emergence, the heroes attempt to seal the rift by channelling their power into the void. The combined power shattered The Spire and crystalized the heroes into Willstones, as well as devastated the Old Kingdom.
Theresa confirms that the first wish of The Spire did not cause the old kingdom's devastation - which she formally believed. Gaining control of the spire allowed Theresa to see the truth. Nearing The Spire, the two come to a cullis gate. Theresa admits to Gabriel that only the two of them can travel to the Spire. Theresa gives them equipment as well as the ancient Guild Seal. Theresa then sends the Hero to awaken their hero blood in the depths of the Old Tomb on the island in Bower Lake.
Theresa later explains how to take down Lucien and gives the Hero Fate Cards. The fate cards show the future and the three other heroes of Strength, Skill, and Will that need to be collected before Lucien collects them for himself. She is a monk at the Temple of Light in Oakfield. When asked how she is able to read without eyesight, Theresa claims she can look into worlds other than her own.
From the diary, Theresa discovers that Lucien is recruiting Crucible champions as guards for The Spire. When the Hero returns from the Spire, Theresa welcomes their return after being gone ten years. Garth agrees and the two retreat to the guild while the Hero catches up with Hammer. Hammer mentions that this Hero is likely a pirate called Reaver, who runs the port of Bloodstone.
Theresa reveals that the only way of getting to Bloodstone is by going through Wraithmarsh, but Garth suggests using a Cullis Gate instead in order to bypass Wraithmarsh. The fog from Wraithmarsh temporarily dampened the guild seal which made it difficult for Theresa to give her instructions. Once the Hero reaches Bloodstone, Reaver untruthfully agrees to join the Hero to take down Lucien however; Reaver needs the Hero to take his dark seal to a place called The Shadow Court back in Wraithmarsh.
Theresa informs the Hero through the guild seal that the Shadow Court is responsible for the destruction of Oakvale. Theresa adds that there is more to the task than Reaver lets on. Theresa finally appears on the beach and persuades Reaver to join them. Finally assembled the four Heroes, Hammer, Garth, Reaver, and the Hero of Bowerstone, she gives them the instructions on how to begin the ritual to summon the great weapon.
Regardless of their choice, Theresa sends all the heroes away to where they wish then claims the Spire for her own. Theresa remained behind in the Spire for her own reasons. Using the Spire model would transport the Hero to the top of the Spire, placing them before Theresa.
She greeted the Hero and insinuate that she intended them to make it back to the Spire. Towards the end of the vision, the focus turned to a baby carriage, with Theresa standing next to it. A newborn lay inside, and Theresa mentioned the name Aurora before the vision ended.
Afterwards, Theresa sent the Hero away from the Spire for a second and last time. This explains in part why she chose to keep it as her own at the end of Fable II. While she is a main character in the plot line, she rarely appears outside of the Road to Rule, diminishing her role in comparison to Fable and Fable II.
As always, the Seer is an elusive woman, telling the Hero only the basics of what they need to know. It is revealed by Logan that Theresa visited him four years prior, telling him of the impending attack that the Crawler will visit upon Albion. The only two people known to have seen Theresa in the game are the Hero and Logan, though the Crawler and Reaver are aware of her existence.
She congratulates the hero on their triumph and explains what consequences or achievements they now face by keeping or breaking the promises of their allies.
Before she leaves for the last time, the hero asks Theresa if the time has come for their future to be disclosed. She is unlocked with Fable: The Journey, via gameplay on the same memory device and with the same profile. Theresa does make a minor appearance at the very end of Fable: Edge of the World.

So apparently the aging system in the first Fable was not so popular, which is why they scaled it back in the sequels. It is pretty ridiculous when your 65 year old hero is standing next to your "older" sister who looks to be in her mid twenties or so.
This got me wondering what the actual canon age of the Hero of Oakvale is. We know Theresa is his older sister, but from the childhood sequence at the beginning, she can't be more than a few years older. Is there any official source that can nail down either the Hero's age, or Theresa's age and the age gap between them?
If we can get some sort of figure, this could then be used as a sort of " Limited Level Up Challenge", where you can only buy a certain number of skills in order to keep your age at the "canon" age. Sure, you could go with a No Level Up Challenge, which would be more difficult, but by allowing a limited number of level ups it becomes more interesting since there are more choices to be made, and more potential builds.
For example, with at least 4 level ups, we could max out a spell, meaning a will user might be viable, whereas in a No Level Up Challenge a will user wouldn't work too well. My initial hunch is that the Hero is somewhere around 20 to 24 -ish, which is about 3 to 9 level ups worth. Showing 1 - 2 of 2 comments. Vexillarius View Profile View Posts.
