Book of Fables Entry
''Bluebeard managed to escape the Homelands with his riches intact, and continues to be one of the wealthiest Fables in New York. The Fabletown government depends on his generous contributions, and he often uses this influence for his own benefit. As a former serial killer, he claims his days of decapitating his brides are over. But even if he was able to leave his violent ways in the Homelands, that hasn't stopped him from making the occasional trip down Crooked Lane.''

Background
Bluebeard is a lord in the Homelands who murdered every woman he married, usually killing each of his wives on their wedding night. In the Exodus, Bluebeard manages to escape the Homelands with all his wealth - as well as using magic to transport his castle into his Fabletown apartment. Because of this, he becomes the only source of funding for the Fabletown government, granting him a certain level of power.

The Wolf Among Us
After the murders of Faith and Lily, Bluebeard is a potential suspect. Bluebeard, however, mercilessly interrogates whichever suspect Bigby brings back to the Woodlands, and threatens to use violence to extract information and find out who the real killer is. When the Crooked Man, who is responsible for the murders, is captured, Bluebeard is present at his trial and loudly demands that the Crooked Man be executed.

Volume 1
When Bluebeard's fiancee Rose Red is believed to be murdered, Bluebeard confronts Jack Horner and prepares to torture him for answers until he is stopped by Bigby. At the Remembrance Day ball, Bluebeard and the other attendees discover that Rose faked her death to avoid debt and marriage to Bluebeard, the engagement having been a ploy between Rose and Jack to get money from Bluebeard.
