Autolycus

&nbsp Bruce Campbell played Autolycus, the self-proclaimed King of Thieves. Hercules and Iolaus first met him when Autolycus framed Iolaus for a crime that he committed. Hercules caught up with Autolycus and brought him back to confess, but after he was given his sentence, he made his escape with some of the treasures of the castle. Hercules told Xena about Autolycus and she once sought him out to help her retrieve a treasure that was stolen from her friends. Although Autolycus took to Xena quickly, he realized that they could only be friends, and he even returned the reward given to him by her friends. Autolycus always seemed to get into some sort of trouble, but he was always able find a way out and make a quick getaway when the time called for it. He fell in love with one of the girls in a dancing troupe named Cupcake, but when she found out that he lied to her, she was very hurt. They met up again and he actually set her up with another man so he could steal a jewel. He never thought that she would fall in love with the prince and was heartbroken when she actually did. Autolycus formed a friendship with Salmoneous, and the two of them even carried a few episodes on their own without Hercules or Iolaus in them.
