He is a legendary character, but all the ballads, novels, films describe him as fat, short and quite jolly.

In the times of Richard I, it was alright for a friar or a monk to be in the military. This is an ancient tradition and common across all cultures (remember the shaolin monks?) In the earliest ballads of Robin Hood Friar Tuck was given charge to police an area near Sherwood forest. Robin showed up to try and recruit him but the good Friar was having none of the outlaw and the two fell to blows. Robin prevailed but then the Friar whistled for his hounds which turned the tide on Robin. Robin then blew his horn and called on his merry men who proceeded to fill the hounds full of arrows. To save his dogs Friar Tuck surrendered and joined the Merry men.
