But the reveal almost never happened - because originally, Geppetto wasn't supposed to be the Adversary. The Geppetto reveal was one of the biggest twists in Fables and set the stage for numerous developments surrounding Pinnochio, his legions of "brothers" who made up some of Geppetto's most fearsome forces, and the eventual arc of the series first half. Having spent decades building puppet kings and inadvertently becoming a behind-the-scenes ruler, Geppetto embraced his role as Emperor and became one of Fables' primary antagonists. The Adversary's eventual conflicts with the New York-based Fables in the modern-day escalated to war between the two, with Fabletown ultimately discovering the truth about the Adversary - that he was truly Geppetto, the old woodcarver who'd made Pinnochio. This was because of the advances of the Adversary, a terrifying warlord who'd amassed an unstoppable armada to spread his empire. The backstory of Fables revealed that in the 15th and 16th centuries, the "Fables" - mystical beings from faraway lands that lived on Earth as stories - were forced to abandon their realms for the mundane world.
