This article is a list of fictional characters in the Vertigo comic book series ''Fables'', ''Jack of Fables'', ''Cinderella: From Fabletown with Love'', ''Cinderella: Fables Are Forever'' and ''Fairest'', published by DC Comics. These are the Fables who live in the Fable Homelands. ==Colonel Bearskin and "Bearskin's Free Company"== These were some of the Fables who died defending the Last Free Gateway from the Homelands, as seen in ''The Last Castle''. Every year, on 15 May, the people who were on the last boat out of the Homelands would get together to drink to the memory of those who died so they could get out to the Mundy World. Among the defenders were: *Colonel Bearskin, the colonel of "Bearskin's Free Company", the Fables who held back the Adversary's forces and tried to hold their last unconquered territory. It is said that he fought in many famous battles. He was known for his cunning battle strategies which were the reason that the territory held as long as it did. He also cared for the safety of the people who had loved ones and sent them on the boat to Fabletown. Boy Blue was his orderly, and he gave Boy Blue the witching cloak so Blue would live to tell the tale of the battle and so he could escape to be with Red Riding Hood. He was the one of the last of the Fables that stayed to fight to be killed; he was stabbed in the side and died slowly while the Adversary's troops mocked him. *The Valiant Little Tailor, identified through the text on his clothes, which says, "seven at one stroke". He was killed by goblins early in the battle. In addition, his name can seen on one of Kevin Thorn’s books in the ''Jack of Fables'' story arc ''The Bad Prince''. *The Red Cross Knight, who almost won the battle all on his own, and could not be beaten, "not by goblin or troll or giant. Not by the dozens or the hundreds." He was finally killed when the enemy set a dragon against him. *Herman Von Starkenfaust, from Washington Irving's short story ''The Spectre Bridegroom''. According to Boy Blue, he turned out not being a ghost after all. *Britomart: Her final action before being killed, was throwing her magical spear, which would find any target she set for it, killing the general leading the Adversary's forces. *Robin O'The Woods (Robin Hood), aka "Loxley": When the last ship out of the Homelands was leaving, Robin Hood (previously seen in flashbacks in the ''Legends in Exile'' story arc, while fleeing the Adversary's forces) chose to stay behind and defend the Gateway, to avenge his Marian, who was killed when the invaders took his homeland. *The Merry Men, including Friar Tuck and John Small, died side by side with Bearskin's Free Company. *Tam Lin, who was claimed to be the knight loved by the queen of the faeries. He had a reputation of a scoundrel, but after winning a place for himself on the last ship out of the Homelands, he gave it to his young page instead *The King of Madagao and the King of Bornegascar, old enemies, from ''Fantastic Fables'' by Ambrose Bierce. *The ancient King Pellinore: His rusty armor kept trying to fall apart during his weeks defending the Gateway, and his squire had to follow him around, retrieving the pieces that were dropped off in his way. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「List of Fables characters (The Homelands)」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
