### Bigby Wolf: Once Upon a Time...

When the Gods of Olympus were seeking out a new place to reside after departing Earth, many sought to live among the Fables in the Umbral Planes (or the Homelands, as they are now called). An Anemoi, Boreas of the Winter Wind, was among the Olympians who lived among the Fables.

One day, while Boreas was engaged in friendly wagers with Apollo on a prominent road, the two came upon a lovely woman traveler. Both were stricken by her beauty and made bets as to which could get her to remove her coat. Boreas tried to blow the coat off her with a gust of wind, but when that failed, Apollo warmed the day with the light of the sun.

Instead of paying Apollo, Boreas offered to amend his debt with another bet, this time for the woman's dress. Boreas surprised Apollo when he did not use his magic, but stole away from the other god to follow the woman as she stepped off the road and walked a beaten path through the dark forests of the Hesse. When Boreas tried to woo her, she ducked him and kept on her way. She then showed no interest when Apollo wrote her a song. Their attempts continued until nightfall.

As the woman stopped to make camp, Boreas summoned a cold chill and blew the woman's fire out. Both gods then strolled into her camp, both offering to keep her warm. The woman laughed at both gods as she undressed, only to then turn into a wolf, grab her shredded dress between her jaws, and disappear into the dark treeline.

Apollo, believing the woman to be a witch, insisted that the bet was off, but Boreas used his magic to become a wolf and chased after her. He did not have to pursue her long as he found her in a nearby clearing, waiting for him. When he awoke the next morning, the dress remained, but the woman was gone. Boreas would become obsessed and began to pursue the mysterious woman, searching everywhere but never finding her.

The truth was the woman was no mere witch, but the cunning demon known as Lilith. After the intimate night spent with Boreas, Lilith hid in the dark forests of the Hesse as a wolf until she was ready to give birth to a litter of monsters. Her four daughters were fierce succubi with powers over seasonal shifts that she would take with her to join the Lilim, but the sons were Beasts with the form of wolves that she would abandon to run amok throughout the Homelands.

The runt of the four brothers was picked on regularly. He was only given scraps to eat and fearing that if he tolerated the abuse much longer, he would always be the pack's omega. But the runt had bigger plans than his tiny body would permit, so he set out on his own.

On his own, the runt told himself everyday he would eat something larger than he had the day before. That was his plan to grow large and fierce. He terrorized the animals of the Hesse's forests, then when he grew larger, he preyed upon the livestock of the nearby town of Hamelin. When the townsfolk hunted him, he retreated to the woods to terrorize children and the elderly that lived in the forest. The runt did not always win, but he took lessons from defeat. He learned he could not easily be killed, he could understand and speak the human words, and he could unleash powerful gusts of wind. Survivors also told the tale of the fierce Hound of the Hesse... and as his legend grew, the lone wolf became known far and wide for his size and ferocity. The runt had become the Big Bad Wolf.

### Supplemental Reports

* (*Submitted by Four-Eyes*) Bigby is not an actual Fable. Well, not when speaking physically. You see, he is not made from Vorpal energy. He is made from magic - both infernal and eldritch (mostly cold and wind essence). As he was born in the Homelands, I theorize that he has the Fable ability to resurrect - but he is not interested in testing my theory for some reason.
* (*Submitted by Herald*) Bigby is a more than capable investigator and one of the Fables' fiercest fighters. Being the Sheriff of Danny suits him, except for the administrative part of the job. Because of this inability to manage, he seems to only hire rozzers that he has a long history with, thus the Fantabulosa Rozzers are Red Riding Hood, Boy Blue, Peter Piper, Bo Peep, Chester White, Sandy Tamworth, and Bentheim Black. He only hired Beast at Snow's request.

## Trivia and Notes

### Trivia

#### General

* He was a member of the Seven Soldiers of Victory during World War 2.
* His brothers were killed by three werepigs.
* He's the Sheriff of Danny the Street and the chief enforcer of the "Fabletown Compact".
* He's friends with Mowgli.
* Soplik the Odd considers him her rival, because she has a crush on Snow White.
* When he tries to sneak in a smoke indoors the Organ Disco DMV, Danny activates sprinklers and some areas smell like a wet dog.

#### Red Riding Hood

* He and Red Riding Hood made a deal. She would usually bring a fresh cut of meat with her when she went to the Black Forest on the off-chance he was hungry and the Big Bad Wolf had returned the favor by lurking around her for the remainder of her delivery, deterring bandits or other hostile forces from harming her. Once, he was captured by a witch who planned to use his blood as part of a ritual to take his demonic energy to enrich her own power. Red Riding Hood freed him, and then he blew his cage apart, lifting both women and tossing them into the wall of the cabin. At this point, the Huntsman came in and struck the the wolf with his axe, believing he was rescuing a girl and her grandmother.

#### Snow White

* He encountered Snow White three times.
	+ First time he saved her from soldiers who captured her.
	+ Second time he saved Snow from the Sheeda.
	+ Third time he came to her while she was bathing in a hot spring. Snow removed pieces of weapons from his hide and washed his injuries.

#### Piper and Horn

* At one point he was captured by Peter Piper and Tom Horn after eating Bo Peep's flock. They dragged him into town but were soon set upon by Sheeda hunters who wanted the wolf for themselves. Tom cut the wolf free before he and Peter ran the opposite direction.

#### Exodus

* He moved to the Black Forest fearing for his life, because King Melmoth of the Sheeda is an avid hunter.
* He was transformed by a dwarven sorcerer, Rose Red, and Snow White into a man. He's now a reverse-lycanthrope, a wolf who can take the shape of a man.

#### Sheriff of Fabletown

* He became the sheriff of the first Fabletown.
* Flycatcher tends to become unstable when he's not busy, so Bigby used to write him up on a number of petty charges and gave him years of community service. Eventually, this service evolved into his job as a custodian.
* Cinderella works as his special agent and on his orders undertakes important missions to protect and preserve the existence of Fabletown.
* He keeps a dog named Prince at the Rozzers' Station to deliver wake-up calls to Briar Rose should she ever prick her finger on Danny the Street.

#### The Manhattaning

* After the Manhattaning he found himself in the northern parts of Canada.
* It was his idea to deputize other Fables to the cheekily named Fabletown Department of Tourism and used these Tourists to go about the world or return to the Homelands to help bring the Fables back home.

#### Nóatún

* After Snow White lost the elections, he took her north to the Nóatún. There they met his father Boreas, also known as Santa Claus. After a long argument between father and son, mediated by Mrs. Claus and Snow, the two men came to an uneasy agreement to allow Bigby and Snow to live among them for a time to see if they could reconcile their differences.
* One day after a big feast, he woke up to a naked Snow White. Neither could remember much of the evening prior at first, but as the day progressed the two began to recollect enough of their memories to realize what had happened. The next week the two barely spoke.
* When Snow told him she was pregnant, they had a long talk which ultimately went nowhere until Bigby's stepmother barged in and admitted she had been eavesdropping. Mrs. Claus proceeded to tell the two how foolish they were for denying their obvious feelings for one another and that they should just be honest with each other. After a long, awkward silence, it was Bigby who admitted his feelings for Snow first, even going so far as to propose marriage. Snow asked for some time to consider it, but a glare from Mrs. Claus hurried her decision in an instant.

#### Wolf Cub Pack

* He started to go on frequent field trips with his son Darien to teach him how to be an alpha wolf. Darien humored his father for a while, but eventually, he began to protest these outings. He believed his father was the alpha or one of his siblings, but Bigby did not entertain his son's suggestions. In response to this, Darien decided that if his father was not going to listen to him, he would just have to make his father see what a bad choice for a leader he was. To this end, Darien began to outwardly rebel. He started off by pranking his parents and antagonizing his siblings. When that did little to convince Bigby, Darien began engaging in delinquent and petty criminal behavior to drive a wedge between him and his father.

### Notes

* Bigby Wolf is a character from *Fables*.
* The story about a bet between Apollo and Boreas is a nod to Aesop's fable of the North Wind and the Sun.
* In the comics, Bigby's mother is a wolf named Winter. He also didn't have any sisters.
	+ Lumi is the Snow Queen in *Fables*. Kevat, Kesa, and Syksy are the Spring Queen, Summer Queen, and Autumn Queen, respectively.
* His alias of Beast of Gévaudan is a reference to the 18th Century mysterious animal. In Earth-27, the Woodsman has an alias Jean Chastel, the beast's killer.
