Edmond Dantès is a Fable who lives in Fabletown in New York City. He first appears in Fables #14 — "The Mouse Police Never Sleep: Storybook Love Part One," and owns and runs Fabletown's Chateau d'If Fencing Academy above the Grand Green Florist Shop. He can often be found in the Branstock Tavern.
History
Edmond is first seen mediating a fencing match between Bluebeard and Prince Charming, which Charming uses as a distraction to allow his Mouse Police agents to infiltrate Bluebeard's apartment.[2]
Upon her arrival at the Woodland to ask for sanctuary in Fabletown, "Red Riding Hood" is met with a crowd of curious Fables, including Edmond.[3]
As Fabletown becomes endangered by the wooden soldiers, Edmond joins the other Fables in the Business Office to attend Snow White's briefing on security measures.[4]
He can later be found drinking in the Branstock Tavern, engaging in a conversation with Thrushbeard.[5]
As the Adversary's army reaches the outskirts of Haven's borders, Edmond and other Fables gather in the Business Office to watch a live "broadcast" of the impending battle through the Magic Mirror.[6]
After the Empire is defeated, Fabletown celebrates their victory and Edmond is one of the many Fables who joins in the joyous festivities.[7]
Edmond can be seen among the Fables gathered outside the Farm's main building as Rose Red, the leader of the Farm, addresses her fellow Fables after finally overcoming her long depression.[8]
As the city Fables return to Fabletown, settling into their new residence, the empty castle that once belonged to Mister Dark, Edmond is observed in the courtyard, carrying a set of fencing weapons for his fencing academy.[9]
Edmond is killed by Goldilocks while she is disguised as Prince Charming, during a fencing lesson with Snow White, who was Goldilocks' intended victim. Although Snow is resurrected by Cinderella, Edmond is not, as Cindy can only bring half of Goldilock's victims back to life.[1]
