Despite this, Bigby learned to be a good man and a good sheriff. He even began adjusting to his new environment - though his wolf side constantly reminds him of its existence, manifesting in the form of violent outbursts. As a sheriff, Bigby was entrusted to keep the peace within Fabletown, something he has proven to be incredibly skilled at thanks to his wolf senses. For centuries, Bigby was a member of the Homelands' society until he was forced to flee alongside the others. He understood that there was more to his existence than the hunt and, to his own surprise, that he too, a wild beast in nature, could find love. But Bigby hated his father - he hated the North Wind's shapeshifting powers, believing that his true calling was that of a wolf.Īs Bigby lived among the other Fables, he learned to control his monstrous half. He was the son of the North Wind, a being that represented the winds, and could control them as he wished. But Bigby Wolf, for that was the name he accepted upon accepting his humanity, was not an ordinary wolf. And the same one who, upon meeting Snow White herself, was allowed to turn human when the girl pierced him with an enchanted knife.

The same one who ate the Red Riding Hood's grandmother, only to be filled with rocks by a 'brave' woodsman. The same one who blew down the two piggies' homes, only to fail with the third. As such, a sheriff was needed, someone to keep the Fables in check, and there was nobody better for the job than the Big Bad Wolf. But, as any other city, Fabletown had its fair share of crime, mainly by unsatisfied Fables who were angry at the fact that some of their more wealthy members got away with their riches. Some scattered or lived on their own, but there were many concentrated groups around the new world - one of them was Fabletown.Īlthough in the heart of New York City, Fabletown used its inhabitant's magical powers to stay hidden from the Mundies, including Glamour - a spell that allowed non-human Fables to appear like Earth's original residents. As the Adversary had no interest in the human world, at least for now, the Homelands' former inhabitants made it their new home. Soon, this army reached the Homelands - being unable to fight against this unstoppable foe, the Fables had no choice but to escape to the Mundy world. Without a warning, realm after realm fell to the dark enemy's forces, making his army grow even larger. Princesses were saved, great evils defeated, and all lived happily ever after.īut then came the Adversary. Red Riding Hood, Jack of Tales, Snow White, the Little Mermaid - all of them, and many more, lived within the Homelands, and all was as expected. Nobody truly knows how they came to be, whether it was the Mundies, the humans, that created them, or whether it was the Fables' existence and magical energies that prompted the humans to write tales about them. The Homelands was a peaceful world - a dimension in which all beings commonly thought to be mere fiction.
