[b]King Cole[/b]

[i]"Old King Cole was a merry old soul And a merry old soul was he. He called for his bowl and he called for his pipe And he called for his fiddlers three. Every fiddler, he had a fiddle And a very fine fiddle had he. Oh, there's none so rare, as can compare With King Cole and his fiddlers three."[/i]

King Cole is a kind, and well-liked figure in Fabletown. He is the one who is responsible for the founding of Fabletown, and the tales of his selfless deeds whilst he led the initial group of fables to Fabletown had him almost unanimously elected mayor. It is said that while leading his group of fables in an attempt to flee the Adversary, he sacrificed his portion of rations to the rest of the group, demonstrating his selfless nature.

He is a cunning diplomat, and knows how to keep spirits high, allowing him to achieve relative success as the mayor of Fabletown. His darkest moment was undoubtedly having to send the fables unable to make use of the glamor to the farm, a decision that spread doubt about him amongst the residents of Fabletown, and ultimately a decision he loses sleep over to this day.

Nowadays, much of the real work is completed by his deputy-mayor Snow White, albeit he still serves as a good figurehead for the residents of Fabletown and is eager to do what he perceives to be morally right for the residents.

[i]A fan of the fables series wrote a small description of King Cole, which I thought summed up his duty as Mayor quite well;

"but it is easy to assume that the old man is little more than a figurehead allowing Snow White to do all the real work. In large part this is because the man seems so relaxed with power and is so kind that it is difficult to see what he is doing"[/i]

King Cole was the king of a very small kingdom. He was married and had three daughters, two of whom were married. When the Adversary advanced to his kingdom, it took them only a day to conquer it.

King Cole hidden from the enemy in an abandoned tin mine, where a group of his subjects had hid as well. He decided that they should hide there as long as possible and often skipped meals to make their supplies last. Eventually, they ran out of food, so they began raiding a nearby farm for supplies.

Once the Adversary left only a small occupying force behind and he heard that his family was killed, King Cole decided it was time to leave. They moved along, eventually hearing about the Sanctuary World.

King Cole was able to successfully lead his citizens to Fabletown. He was elected almost unanimously as mayor of the town during it's first election and has been re-elected every time since.

I wasn't particularly sure of what else to add in this section. I've read only some of the original comics (aside from having played the wolf among us series) and from what I gathered online, there isn't all that much information surrounding King Cole.
