“	Sometimes in the books the children are more than their parents. It's like a theme in all the stories. What if that's true? What if we're bigger and better and stronger than you? Look! I can be something big enough to gobble you right up! You know what? I think I can become big enough to swallow the whole wide world. And sometimes I feel like something dark and growly is tugging at me and wants to try. If you don't stop trying to hurt us, then I'll become something that can kill you dead! So stop scaring us, daddy! Right now!	„
	~ Connor to Bigby in Fables #150 — "Farewell"

Connor Wolf is a human-wolf-wind hybrid Fable who is one of the seven cubs born to Snow White and Bigby Wolf. He debuts in Fables #30 — "The Cruel, Hot Summer." As their fifth child, he grows up to be a bold hero as prophesied.

History

Early life

Connor and his six siblings were conceived when Snow White and Bigby Wolf had a one-night stand whilst under the control of a potion provided by Bluebeard. Bigby's heightened senses informed him of this brief affair but to ensure survival and minimize Snow's panic, he decided not to tell her. Unfortunately, Snow had been impregnated.

Several months later, during springtime, she gave birth to her children after the battle against the wooden soldiers. It was apparent from the start that her children had inherited the wolf traits from their father. This meant they could not live in New York but had to move to the Farm, separating the cubs from Bigby.

Because of their heritage, the children's natural default for travel was flight. Since Bigby was gone, and had never had that problem, their grandfather the North Wind was given that responsibility. The children, under the tutelage of their grandfather, The North Wind, gained the ability to control their flight as well as change their forms from human, werewolf or fully lupine.

After their birth, there was a string of sudden deaths. The North Wind, who had arrived to see his grandchildren, was able to explain to their mother the existence of Zephyrs. They were able to discover the cause. One of the seven, later named Ghost by Bigby, was born with a birth defect; he was a zephyr, a rogue wind whose invisible nature meant his parents were initially unaware of his existence. This entity fed off the air of living beings, accidentally killing them before he learned control. Snow White, after a rash of deaths, discovers that they were inadvertently caused by her last child. She sends Ghost to find his self-exiled father. The family has since been reunited. On their fifth birthday, the other six cubs were introduced to Ghost, but were sworn to secrecy as to his existence. Even from telling Rose Red, as she is not a "wolf."

During the war to reclaim the Homelands, Wolf Manor become the nerve center of Fabletown's war operations. Because of this, Snow became the unofficial commander-in-chief while her husband, Bigby, ran operations at Fort Bravo, Prince Charming was on the Glory, and Beast commanded the defense procedures at Fabletown. Rose watched after the cubs to ensure that they didn't bother the soldiers, who obviously wouldn't appreciate someone suddenly shouting at them "Bang, you're dead!"

The cubs would later travel with their parents to their grandfather's castle. During the trip, the cubs were attacked by their six uncles. Though young, they were able to keep out of their grasp and fend them off until their father was able to save them. Afterwards their uncles were turned into goldfish and left to the cubs mercy.

The prophecy

At some point, Ozma reveals a prophecy to Ambrose about him and the other cubs:

The first child will be a king,

The second child a pauper.

The third will do an evil thing.

The fourth will die to stop her.

The fifth will be a hero bold.

The sixth will judge the rest.

The seventh lives to ages old, and is by heaven blessed.

The first of the seven prophecies was fulfilled when Winter officially became King of the North (the position previously held by her grandfather).

The third and fourth child prophecies occurred when Therese was revealed as the third child, doing "an evil thing" by murdering Mountbatten for his flesh and ordering the wooden toys of her kingdom burned to eat it. Darien is revealed as the fourth child, as he sacrificed himself to a magic cauldron so that Therese could have food, and thus, end her insanity.

The battle of Fabletown

When Bigby was under the control of Leigh Duglas, Connor and his siblings were nearly killed by their corrupted father. However, Connor managed to snap Bigby back into his true self and he was happily reunited with his wife and children.

The Black Forest

After Rose Red called off the war between Snow White and her forces, Connor and his family relocated to the Hesse, Bigby's homeland, specifically the Black Forest. While busy rebuilding Wolf Manor, Bigby sent his four remaining children, including Connor, into the Black Forest to have an adventure, and forbade them from coming back home until they could return with a story to tell. Connor's adventure involved stumbling across a skeletonized corpse with a strange sword stuck between its ribs. Convinced that the sword must be magic, Connor pulls it out from the skeleton's rib.

The Everaftering

“	Player three to all points... I fucking love this job!	„
	~ Connor in Everafter: From the Pages of Fables #12 — "The Bones of What You Believe: The Conclusion of The Unsentimental Education"'

Later on in his young adulthood Bigby and Snow took Connor to join the Shadow Players; an "intelligence gathering" organization due to his "youthful exuberance" in being violent and lustful, hoping that he could be doing it for a good cause.

Epilogue

In adulthood, Connor is now an adventurer of renown, having faced down countless evils across hundreds of different worlds.

At the latest Wolf family reunion, about a millennia after the Battle of Fabletown, Connor explains to some partygoers about how one of his more memorable adventures resulted in his slaying of the monster that burned the world of Karse to a cinder and how he himself wasn't responsible for that world's destruction.

Personality

Connor is quieter than his siblings and tends to stay in the sidelines. Although he loves his siblings and his father, at one point he expresses his jealousy of his brother Darien who he claimed was his father's favorite. He also expressed jealousy over the fact that Darien is the chosen pack leader. By his teenage years he has developed a lustful and violent nature his parents attribute to youthful exuberance.

Physical appearance

Connor has dark hair and blue eyes. In his teenage years, Connor's body is well defined and muscular.

Powers and abilities

Powers

• Flight: Like his siblings, Connor can fly.
• Shapeshifting: Connor can transform between his human form and wolf form at will. According to his grandfather, Connor and his siblings can assume a variety of other forms with proper training. Connor claimed to have practiced his shapeshifting powers more than his siblings, and he has assumed several forms (e.g. a gigantic monster or a lovely woman). He can also accurately mimic the appearance of others.
  • Power distribution: Connor can extend his shapeshifting power to others.
• Accelerated healing: Connor can rapidly recover from damage done to his body.
• Supernatural longevity: Connor's unique heritage evidently affords him some sort of supernatural longevity. Even after a millennia, Connor is shown to retain the vitality and appearance of a young man.

Abilities

• Bilingualism: Connor can speak English and Spanish.
• Swordsmanship: Connor has become proficient with a sword as an adult.
• Firearms: Connor also seems able to make good use of firearms in combat as well.

Etymology

The name "Connor" is of Irish origin and means "lover of hounds" or "lover of wolves". The family name Wolf is an obvious reference to his lupine nature, particularly given that his father is named Bigby Wolf.

Trivia

• It should be noted, depending on the style of the artist, Connor does have some similar facial features to that of Prince Charming.
  • Similar to Prince Charming, Connor also has a potent sexual prowess and bedded many creatures, both human and otherwise.
• Connor is confirmed to be pansexual during the events of Everafter: From the Pages of Fables, having been with men, women "and a few other things besides." The most famous Fable character among his love affairs was Tom Swift.
