The Adversary (Fables)

The Adversary real name Geppetto. is the main villain from Fables from #1 to #75 Before being replaced by Mister Dark.

History
Albeit one that's rarely seen, the Adversary's actions are responsible for the entire premise of the comic book, in that the real Adversary masterminded the conquest of the Fable homelands, and centuries ago forced the Fables to flee into the mundane world.

During the Boy Blue's encounter with the heavily armoured and massively imposing figure Adversary, he is shown to be a figurehead and literal puppet, with this fact and the true identity of the Empire's ruler unknown to even most of the Empire's top leaders. The Adversary is eventually revealed to be Geppoto. He was the primary antagonist for a long time in the series, but later on, his role is replaced by Mister Dark.He was orginally a kind heart invetor and father to Pinccio like his original version but once he realises that he can make more puppets and bend them to his will there was no going back and became the corrupt leader of his own empire.

By the end of the series he is still at Large and is plotting to rebuild his empire.

Powers and ablibles
Gepphoto is an old man with no combat ablities but can make puppets to his will and uses magic to defend himself. He is also extreamly intellgent and manipluative.
