Boy Blue is the subject of the English nursery rhyme “Little Boy Blue”. Forced to watch as the final Fables garrison was slaughtered to give the last refugees time to escape the Homelands. Boy Blue carries a terrible guilt and a fierce determination to prove himself (along with a blue-themed wardrobe and a horn on which ho only ever plays the blues), He’s also agonizingly in love with Little Red Riding Hood. A capable assistant to Snow during her term in Fabletown administration, he covertly plans to take certain magical items from the Fables’ arsenal on a mission to the Homelands, and he almost pulls it off. His Witching Cloak makes him nearly invulnerable, and his Vorpal Blade strikes down the Emperor but the Snow Queen catches him and Boy Blue survives by tricking Pinocchio into returning the Witching Cloak to him, and using it to return to Fabletown. He brings with him enormous amounts of intelligence about the situation in the Homelands but he is banished to the Farm for unauthorized use of magical items.
