Before he came to Fable Town, Prince Charming was the same Prince Charming of all three legends of Snow White, Sleeping Beauty and Cinderella in consecutive order. Each divorced him as each discovered his infidelity.

Charming lost all his wealth when he fled the “Homelands” and it is known he spent many years sponging off mundane European royalty with his unusually high charisma. When he returned to Fable Town, he auctioned of his lands and titles in the Fablelands in attempt to make some ready cash, but bought it back the next day. He becomes truly involved in the events of Fable Town when he killed Bluebeard for making an attempt on Bigby’s life, claming it was because Snow had become fond of Bigby and Charming wanted to make up for hurting her so many years ago.

Seeing the vast wealth of Bluebeard’s money going into the Fable Town coffers, Charming decided to run for Mayor. Because of his charisma and a promise to give all non-human fables permanent transformation charms in order to allow them to leave the Farm, he won the election. Unfortunately, he discovered the night of his election that the witches of Fable Town would not be able to give him such charms. (This failed election promise has come back to haunt him.) He moved into his office and installed Beauty as Deputy Mayor and Beast as Sheriff to replace the departing Snow White and Bigby Wolf. He struggled in the office for a few months, but slowly got the hang of things. He has been very proactive against the Adversary, sending Little Boy Blue into the Homelands to spy under the premise that Blue had took off on his own with a number of powerful magical artifacts. Charming later sent Bigby in to destroy the Adversary’s magical grove and present him with an ultimatum.

He made a pass at Beauty, but was rebuffed. However, it was observed by the highly talkative and confused Buffkin Monkey and it may be only a matter of time before the Beast learns of it.
