Bigby Wolf

Bigby Wolf, also known as The Big Bad Wolf, is the main protagonist from the Fables series.
== Charactah Account ==
Bigby is The Big Bad Wolf from Little Red Riding Hood and Three Little Pigs. After being forced to leave The Homelands, Snow White was able to use an enchanted knife to physically transform him into a human form (unlike the glamours other Fables use). He retained much of his animalistic strength and speed, and can morph into either a more "wolfish" human form or a full werewolf form. As Episode 5 of Season 1 shows, he can also resume his true form at will - that of an small dinosaur-sized black wolf.
As a result of his actions back in the Homelands, Bigby has difficulty connecting with others, often closing himself off to the people around him. This attitude complicates his work as sheriff, making him appear indifferent to the plights of the fables he is meant to protect and serve. He is not afraid to use force in a confrontation, making many people fearful of him. He does, however, have a compassionate side, protecting Faith from the Woodsman, showing some concern for Lawrence when he is found nearly dead, telling Holly and Lawrence that he is going to bring Faith and Lily's killer to justice, and being deeply affected by Snow's apparent death. He also expresses a desire to help the people of Fabletown, but feels he is unable to do so due to his personality and past actions.
Bigby Wolf is pragmatic, cunning, competent, stoic, and usually even-tempered despite his animal nature. Even after all his years as sheriff of Fabletown, he is still a bit anti-social, and can sometimes appear inconsiderate to the plights of the Fables he's meant to protect. He can be callous, sarcastic, uncompromising, blunt, distant, hateful, cynical, manipulative, impatient, and distrustful. He holds all but his closest friends under scrutiny, and is willing to intimidate, harm, torture, and even kill anyone that is a threat to Fabletown's security or, more importantly, his loved ones. He can come across as gruff, brutish, and certainly intimidating, but he is a firm believer in the law and due process.

== Trivia ==
* As the photos on a board in the Sheppard Metalworks reveal, Bigby has apparently been the subject of some photographic spying throughout the course of the game, even a photo of him when he first met Faith (which was before he became an enemy of the Crooked Man and his crew) was seen there
** Sheppard Metalworks also contains numerous boxes of other Fables categorized for why they have files on them. Bigby has the most of anyone else listed under "surveillance."
* Bigby smokes Huff & Puff cigarettes, referencing the infamous words he spoke in The Three Little Pigsbefore blowing down the pigs' houses. The cigarettes are often regarded by others (such as Nerissa, Beauty and Woody) as being of low-quality. He even keeps some in his refrigerator.
* Bigby has a picture of Little Red Riding Hood in his apartment, above his chair.
* In his Security Office, Bigby keeps a calendar with an image of a wolf.
* Bigby owns a 'Certificate of Distinction' as well as a 'Certificate of Service'.
* During In Sheep's Clothing, Bigby can quote Robocop's famous line 'Dead or alive you're coming with me' when addressing the Crooked Man (Determinant).
** Additionally, in the following episode he can also quote Judge Dredd's famous line 'I'm the law' when addressing Tweedle Dee.
* The scene where Bigby confronts the Crooked Man in his office is similar to the Telltale The Walking Deadfinale as Lee Everett faces the stranger as both protagonists are held at gunpoint, and the player will have the option to strangle the antagonist.
* He is voiced by Adam Harrington, who also voices the Woodsman as well as Andrew St. John, Jerry and Leland in The Walking Dead.
* He, Snow White, Beauty, Beast, Tweedledee (if arrested) and Tiny Tim are the only characters who appear in all 5 episodes.
* Bigby's office contains a mundy named Duffy's phone number on a note. Duffy was a soldier in WWII with Bigby.
** His office also contains his trench coat he can often time be seen wearing in the comics.
* Bigby's uses his WWII trunk as a TV stand in his apartment.
