The figure used for this unit is a DnD Minis figure from the Blood War set. Its model number and name is 16/Free League Ranger.

Character Bio: Ullar has summoned Locksley. Whether this is a given name or merely indicative of his origin, no one can be sure. But with his Brigands, and with more Merry Men on the way, Locksley leads his band in the purest form of vigilante justice: he steals from the rich, and gives to the poor.

STEAL FROM THE RICH
At any point while moving normally, you may choose a Treasure Glyph carried by a Hero adjacent to Locksley. Roll the 20-sided die. If you roll 1–6, Locksley’s movement ends. If you roll 7 or higher, place the Treasure Glyph on this Army Card and you may continue Locksley’s movement. Locksley must be on a space where he can end his movement each time he uses this power.

GIVE TO THE POOR
Any Treasure Glyphs on this Army Card that are not Ancient Artifact Treasure Glyphs are treated as being on the Army Cards of all friendly Common Heroes within 3 clear sight spaces.

DISENGAGE
Locksley is never attacked when leaving an engagement.

-Rulings and Clarifications-

• Q: Can Locksley use Treasure Glyphs on his own Army Card?
  A: Yes. Treasure Glyphs on Locksley's Army Card are considered to be on the Army Cards of nearby friendly Common Heroes in addition to his own card.
  
  
• GIVE TO THE POOR: Clarification
  If a common hero uses a temporary glyph from Locksley’s card, it is “used up” and removed from the game. (superfrog)
  
  
• Q: Can Locksley move adjacent to a figure with Engagement Strike and use Steal From the Rich before the figure rolls for Engagement Strike?
  A: No. Locksley can only use Steal From the Rich after he has finished moving onto a space and all effects of moving onto that space are resolved.
  
  
• Q: If a Locksley has the Gem of Lava Resistance and a friendly Common Hero starts its turn within 3 clear sight spaces, is it affected by lava spaces?
  A: It may ignore the special rules for lava spaces only while it stays within 3 clear sight spaces of Locksley. If it moves onto a lava space that is not within 3 clear sight spaces of Locksley, it would be affected by the lava normally. This is true of all glyphs that apply while moving: for instance, if Locksley is sharing the Oceanstrider Amulet, a common hero that steps onto a water space which is not within 3 clear sight spaces must stop its movement as usual.

Power Ranking and Master Index
His first two powers are useless a lot of the time, but he still packs Major-league range and attacking power and helps a Brigand build establish board control. B+

What is an ancient artifact glyph?

[Astroking112]

An Ancient Artifact Treasure Glyph is typically just a powerful glyph that your army can only control one of. The main difference is this:

You can check the Definitive List of Glyphs and scroll down to find the only two Ancient Artifacts: the Glyph of Bolt of the Witherwood, which just gives a unit Atlaga's one-time chance to kill any unit, and the Revenant's Tome, which lets you bring back a previously destroyed figure for one normal attack.

As for Locksley, I did have a Rules and Clarifications question about how his card works.

If a Common Hero within range uses a temporary Treasure Glyph on Locksley's card, is the used glyph removed from his card?

I assume that it is, but I figured that I should ask to make sure. Since temporary Treasure Glyphs are activated when Order Markers are revealed, this would likely also mean that Locksley won't be using any of his own Glyphs that he picks up. That's actually quite thematic.

If a common hero uses a temporary glyph from Locksley’s card, it is “used up” and removed from the game.

Your Acolarh card's quite a bit different from mine.

Thanks for the clarification. I thought that would be how it functions, but it never hurts to check.

If Locksley is destroyed whilst holding the C3V Glyph of Lava Resistance with his Common Heroes within range on molten lava tiles, are they safe from any lava damage until they move off of the space?

They are not safe from Lava Rock Damage which happens after any attacking is done (end of turns), Locksley can’t use Give to the Poor if he’s defeated. In the corner case that Locksley was destroyed by some other means first (Wannok?), he still can’t protect his buddies.

They are safe from Lava, since moving onto Lava is the only trigger for it’s damage type, IIRC.
