Herne was Mabh's love. Herne was a hunter, but when Mabh gives him the enchanted horse, his new prey is the human villagers that live below the camp where Herne, Mabh and the rest of the hunting party are staying. In essence, he becomes the hunter of what is known as the Wild Hunt. When the enchantment breaks and Herne realizes that he killed innocent people, he is banished to stay in his own home, which turns out to be Tavern on the Green. When Herne finds out Kelley's true identity, he vows to protect her himself.
