So you're telling me you agree with everything Crane does? A lot of us depend on him. Some of us never get to the front of the line at the Business Office. But he's there. We need you, but we need him, too. What we don't need is a war.
~ Tim to Bigby about the Crooked Man on In Sheep's Clothing


Tiny Tim is a Fable featured in The Wolf Among Us. He worked for the Crooked Man as a doorman and his limo driver.

Synopsis

Episode 1: Faith

Tiny Tim is seen waiting in line outside the Business Office alongside Cryer and Grendel when Bigby walks in from examining Faith's head.

Episode 2: Smoke & Mirrors

Tim is seen driving Bigby's taxi to the Pudding & Pie.

Episode 3: A Crooked Mile

Tim is briefly seen driving the Crooked Man's limousine at the end of the episode, when Bloody Mary gets in after incapacitating Bigby.

Episode 4: In Sheep's Clothing

Thanks, by the way, for leaving out "Tiny". "Tiny Tim"....
~ Tim showing his good intentions to Bigby by offering to shake his hand.


After Bigby locates the Crooked Man's lair, Tim is there to greet him, offering his hand as a sign of respect and tells him that his boss is waiting for him and that he must escort him to his office as it is a part of his job.

Bigby can either smack his hand away or shake hands with him, depending on the player. Bigby confronts him for his involvement in the Crooked Man's operation and Tim says that he was the only person he could've turned to, as nobody accepted him due to his disability, while only the Crooked Man saw potential. He also mentions how Fables like him never get noticed by the people from the Business Office, saying how they need Bigby too, but they also need the Crooked Man.

Depending on Bigby's actions, Bigby allows Tim to escort him into the Crooked Man's office or can barge inside on his own. This causes Tim to panic and become fearful of Bigby since he only wanted to do his job, and Bigby ruined it for him.

If Bigby allows Tim to introduce him to the Crooked Man, he will open the doors for Bigby and then walk him into the office where the Crooked Man, Tweedle Dee, Tweedle Dum (determinant), Georgie Porgie, Vivian, and Jersey Devil are waiting.

The Crooked Man thanks Tim for his service if he has done it right, saying that Bigby is a hard man to work with. Alternatively, if Bigby barges in, then The Crooked Man will notice Tim's panicking and calmly reassure him, saying he expected Bigby to be so brash. Either way, Tim then excuses himself and leaves the scene.

Episode 5: Cry Wolf

Tiny Tim is seen at the end waiting in line outside the Business Office alongside other Fables. He is likely looking for employment after his employer's death/imprisonment in this episode.

Book of Fables entry

While most Fables theorize that their longevity and overall wellbeing is improved by the Mundy world's knowledge of them, for a select few, that does not seem to apply. When a malady or injury is an integral part of a Fable's story, that noteriety can make recovery nearly impossible. That's what Tiny Tim thinks, at least. And no medical care or magic - rather, none that he can afford - can heal his leg.

Appearances
