== Biography ==
=== Early life ===
Guy Fawkes hailed from [[York]], ([[GAME]]: {{cs|The Gunpowder Plot (video game)}}) [[Yorkshire]]. ([[PROSE]]: {{cs|The Plotters (novel)}}) Both of his parents were Protestant and devoted worshippers of the [[Church of England|English Church]]. However, his mother's family were Catholic, and when his father died, she married a Catholic. Fawkes converted to Catholicism and left for [[Europe]]. ([[GAME]]: {{cs|The Gunpowder Plot (video game)}})


Fawkes was trapped inside a locked room filled with barrels of gunpowder beneath Parliament, when he lit five of them in another room to launch a [[Rutan Host|Rutan]] [[Rutan ship|ship]] belonging to the Rutan plotter [[Elizabeth Winters|Lady Winters]] as the [[Eleventh Doctor]] briefly put Parliament safely in orbit. As he attempted to set off the remaining 36, King James' men captured him. ([[VG]]: ''[[The Gunpowder Plot]]'')
Guy Fawkes served as a soldier in the [[Spain|Spanish]] service, ([[PROSE]]: ''[[The Plotters (novel)|The Plotters]]'') where he fought against [[Netherlands|Dutch]] [[Protestant]]s. During this time, he learned to use [[gunpowder]]. ([[GAME]]: ''[[The Gunpowder Plot (video game)|The Gunpowder Plot]]'') Later, Fawkes served as a wandering [[mercenary]]. ([[PROSE]]: ''[[The Plotters (novel)|The Plotters]]'')


Another account suggests that following the collapse of the plot, [[Robert Catesby]] and Sir [[Thomas Percy]] fled to [[Holbech House]] in [[Staffordshire]], where they were shot and killed by the Sheriff of Worcester's men. Also killed was the genuine Guy Fawkes. The presence of the [[First Doctor]] and his [[companion]]s had slightly altered history so that Fawkes died a year early. Sir [[Robert Cecil]], King [[James I|James]]' chief minister, immediately seized upon the political opportunity inherent in a dead Fawkes. He fingered his political rival, [[Robert Hay]], ''as'' Fawkes, allowing for Hay's [[execution]] under Fawkes' name [[1606|the next year]]. History thus healed itself. ([[MA]]: ''[[The Plotters]]'')
=== The plot ===
Guy Fawkes became embroiled in the [[Gunpowder]] plot in the early [[16th century]], having been recruited by [[Robert Catesby]] for his renowned practical skills. At the time, Fawkes was based in [[France]], and so Catesby had sent a man to France to talk with him. Not long after, Fawkes returned to London using the assumed name of "Johnson" and rented a house near to the [[Houses of Parliament]], with the aim of tunneling from the rented house to the parliament grounds. ([[PROSE]]: ''[[The Plotters (novel)|The Plotters]]'')
