Abigail Williams is a character in the comic series Fables: The Wolf Among Us.
History[]
Background[]
During the Salem witch trials in 1692, Abigail Williams accused several women of being witches in order to cover up her own involvement in witchcraft. When Ichabod Crane confronted her about it, Abigail fles Salem and moved to Boston. There, her life as a prostitute becomes so depressing that Abigail attempted suicide, but the Knave of Hearts intervened. Eventually, Abigail and the Knave were married.
The Wolf Among Us[]
In the Silvering, Abigail reconstructed Bloody Mary's glass baby and attempted to activate its teleportation powers with the heart of Grendel's mother. However, the ritual failed, and they found themselves seeking out Aunty Greenleaf, who succeeded. Using the baby, Abigail - along with her husband and the Crooked Man's gang - were transported to the Homelands. Upon entering the abandoned castle of Allerleirauh, Abigail was possessed by the ghost of King Edward, who made a deal with the Crooked Man, offering to give him the magic word to activate his donkey's gold excretion in exchange for Edward's long-lost daughter Faith.
