Fables Wiki

You're a community of immortals--probably. In any case you've each been alive for centuries, tucked away in this little quiet corner of the city. Your group has owned everything on this block since back when New York was still called New Amsterdam. I've got records- I've compiled personal histories. I've dug up pictures of a number of you--dating back to the very beginnings of photographic technology--and not one of you has aged a day.

History

I wasn't trying to hurt you people. I liked you. I did. I've been getting closer and closer to you for three years, learning your stories and relationships. But it was such a big story.

Tommy Sharp wrote a column called Sharp Comments for the Daily Mail. He stumbled upon Fabletown and began to investigate. He discovered that the residents have lived there for hundreds of years without aging, and mistakenly believed that they were vampires.[1]

Before publishing his story, Sharp confronted Bigby Wolf, giving him a chance to respond. Later that night, the Fables came to steal the evidence. Using Sleeping Beauty's curse, they were able to make everyone in Sharp's apartment fall asleep. They were able to steal all the physical evidence and that on his computer, but they discovered that he had a secure online backup.[1]

Since they couldn't get to that, there was a change of plans. With Pinocchio's help, they staged photos of Sharp as a pedophile. They also tricked him into believing they bit him. The fables threatened to make Sharp kill himself and then release their fake photos if he published his story about them.[2]

A few weeks after these events, Bluebeard met with Sharp in Central Park. After confirming that all the files about them had been destroyed, he killed Sharp.[2]
