Are those like, pictures of them? Concepts? Actual Batman costumes you like keep in your closet? Some other fourth thing?

Fables: After The Ever Afters

I'm pretty sure having signed the compact is assumed for everyone who lives in fabletown.

Fables: After The Ever Afters

Well they know, yeah. People likely don't understand Mr. Black, but they probably have some vague idea as to the nature of Mr. Black's existence, given that he lives there. About as much as the average Fable would know about anyone else in Fabletown, which from what I recall isn't all that much unless you're someone like Snow or Flycatcher.

Fables: After The Ever Afters

Name:
The Man in Black

Nickname:
Mr. Black

Race:
Agent

Gender:
Mr. Black has no genitalia. Mr. Black is smooth like a Ken doll. Neither does Mr. Black have any recognizable prints, scent, identifiable gait, retinal pattern, or anything of that nature.

Appearance:


Job:
On the 22nd of every other month, The Agency wires exactly fourteen thousand, one hundred and forty-six dollars and thirty-nine cents to Mr. Black's expense account.

Personality:
Mr. Black is an amnesiac. Mr. Black's head is a vague, shifting morass of contradicting information pertaining to The Agency and its activities. The Agency is Mr. Black's life. For as long as Mr. Black has existed, he has worked for The Agency. The Agency has many names. The Agency is Illuminati. The Agency is the Freemasons. The Agency is Mr. Black. The Agency is the Council of Zion. The Agency is the Fourth Reich. The Agency is the Red Hat Society. Mr. Black is extremely loyal to The Agency. Mr. Black is a cog in the machine. He is The Agency's greatest weapon in their fight against The Agency. Every day at 11 AM, Mr. Black relieves a call from The Agency with his daily directives. Once upon a time Mr. Black missed this call. Very bad things happened. Mr. Black does not like to miss this call. Mr. Black knows his life is worthless compared to the secrets of The Agency. Mr. Black will willingly give his life to conceal the motives of The Agency. The Agency is all.

Fable: MIB
In every country, going back as far as political systems have existed, there have been rumors of an enormous ur-government of incredible power and influence that existed only to keep some particular culture oppressed. The Elders of Zion, Freemasons, Illuminati- the concept of a shadow government has enraptured people's minds for centuries. Eventually, there came to be another aspect to the stories: The Men in Black. Mysterious men dressed in a white shirt, a black suit, black shoes, black socks, and a black tie who appear to silence those who had seen something they shouldn't have. Commonly sighted in groups of three, they travel in remarkably well-preserved 1950's black Cadillacs (1960's Jaguars in European countries) and appear capable of appearing and vanishing at will. Sometimes, they're associated with the government. Other times, they're considered to be aliens or supernatural creatures in their own right.

Abilities:
Mr. Black can become completely unnoticeable, or draw all attention to himself. Not even machines notice Mr. Black unless Mr. Black wants them to.

Mr. Black has a special voice that makes mundies and their things listen very carefully and do what he says. If Mr. Black asks for something, they give it to him. If Mr. Black tells them to forget something, they forget. If he tells them to talk, they tell him their story. Mr. Black finds this very useful.

If Mr. Black is in trouble, he can call in his colleagues Mr. Black and Mr. Black to help him. Mr. Black is rarely in trouble.

Finally, Mr. Black has ties to The Agency. The Agency knows Mr. Black. They give Mr. Black resources and information that he needs to do his job. Mr. Black's job is very important.

Other: Who is Mr. Black?

Fables: After The Ever Afters

I'm pretty sure there's not a single Fable that actually likes any of the other Fables. Also as far as I'm aware Adversary agents are a lot more, you know, subtle? Because a guy in a dark suit and sunglasses who talks into an earpiece in public and only ever speaks in monotone is not exactly what I'd call subtle.

Then again this is NYC so subtle is a relative value I guess.

Fables: After The Ever Afters

Mr. Black was sent by The Agency, of course. The Agency needs to make sure these other Fables aren't secretly being manipulated in an insidious plot by The Agency to take down The Agency using The Agency as a smokescreen.
He has other tasks, though. For one, he needs to find Mr. Black, who is suspected to be working with Mr. Black as a quintuple agent for The Agency against The Agency. Third would be answering the question: Who is Mr. Black?

Also I followed rule 6 when I made the sheet. ctrl+f if you don't believe me.

Fables: After The Ever Afters

The Agency is too busy fighting against The Agency to devote resources towards Geppetto. Nobody gives a shit about Geppetto. Geppetto is a non-issue. If anyone is of concern to The Agency it's the Literals, who can't be effectively fought against by anyone other than maybe Jack anyways.

Second, no, the way I am describing it is to explain that this would be a non-issue. You can't effectively wipe out such a basic idea in the public consciousness. Sure, you can wipe out individual stories, like the Men in Black, the Illuminati, the Freemasons, Area 51. That's doable. Wiping out something as basic as The Agency, however, isn't feasible without wiping out the very concept of organized government and plunging the world into anarchy.

His monthly salary is less than the average middle-manager makes. Mr. Black has two other agents, Mr. Black and Mr. Black, that he can call in. He also owns a nice car. That's... pretty much it. Compared to, you know, "Being Bigby" and all the incredibly powergamey stuff that entails I'm not seeing how it's that big of a deal.

Fables: After The Ever Afters

@Saarebas For one, hasn't The Adversary only attacked the European and maybe Arab Homelands?

Furthermore, The Agency is The Man. You know, the embodiment of big government? It's not so much a Fable in and of itself as it is a general idea, a concept. Even if you wiped it out, it would just come back.

Finally, there's like an entire three-page spread at one point dedicated to how jolly old Geppetto and his fancy wooden toys would all get completely destroyed the second he tries to directly mess with the mundies or any sort of government/organized military.
