Outlaws are units suitable for ambush, because of their green camouflage. They have a limitless supply of javelins that take time to "recharge" after thrown. After he has thrown his javelin, he switches to his dagger, which is very weak and mostly useless, with the lack or armour, they must be used of caution. He speaks with a French accent.
Despite these weaknesses, outlaws can be EXTREMELY DANGEROUS and VERY ANNOYING in large numbers, as one player in one of the pictures below found out to their cost.
Note: In his dialogs it can be said that he dislikes lords for some reason as he says "You Lords... Your all full of it!"
In the campaigns
Path of Peace
In the path of peace, an outlaw camp sits to the south-east of the map, with its outlaws mostly attacking Sir Grey's estate of Whitle, usually leaving nothing left on the estate but the stockpile. These pesky javelin throwers really become a problem later on when Matthew Steele moves from the wooden keep of Slaughterford to the stone keep Harbury.
These outlaws attack the castle and also another estate at Boorswell. In a later mission, the outlaw camp is destroyed by Steele and these irritating brigands are no longer a problem.
Path of War
In this path, outlaws are first encountered in Bull in the Borderlands. One of Steele's tasks is to destroy the outlaw camp. These outlaws attack a neutral estate nearby and later attack any undefended buildings in Steele's castle estate. The camp is destroyed by a force of archers, spearmen and 10 warrior monks.
They don't appear anywhere else in the campaign.

Trivia
- Outlaws are seen in Stronghold Legends, but they are NOT playable! The only way on how to get these outlaws is to wait for the message: "some Outlaws from the woods have repented their sins and offer you service." .
It is said that when they throw their javelins near woods their camouflage does not work. This needs confirmation.
