“	Look, we're used to a certain kind of... lifestyle, okay? We couldn't just give that up. Who would we be if we just lived like...	”
	— Beast explaining his and Beauty's lavish lifestyle to Bigby.[src]

Lord Beast is a main character and the husband of Beauty in The Wolf Among Us. One of Bigby's first decisions is whether to tell him about Beauty sneaking off in the middle of the night. He loves his wife and often worries about her. Beast also has an entry within the Book of Fables.

Synopsis

Episode 1: Faith

Beast first appear on the groundfloor in the Woodland apartments. As he walks by, he notices Bigby in the elavator. He quickly stops the elevator and asked Bigby if he has seen Beauty. The Sheriff can either lie, stay out of it or tell him he has seen her. Either way, Beast then leaves the building to search for her. 

He appeared later during the end of the episode running back to the Woodlands only to be stopped by the mundy police. 

Episode 2: Smoke & Mirrors

Beast appears at the late part of the episode. His searching for his wife led him to the Open Arms Hotel. When he arrived, he found Bigby and Beauty near the door room to 207. Mistakenly believing that Beauty was cheating on him with Bigby, Beast quickly lost his temper and began assaulting Bigby, despite his wife's desparate plea that it was a misunderstanding. The fight result in either one of them crashing through room 207. He quickly calmed down when he notices the blood of the murder that took place in the room. 

After the misunderstanding has been cleared, Bigby ordered him to guard the stairs which he did. 

Episode 3: A Crooked Mile

Since this episode starts right where Episode 2 left off, Beast is still keeping people out of room 207 at The Open Arms. He is confused when Bigby storms out of the building angrily. He lets slip that he has just come from the Trip Trap, causing Beauty to get angry at him because he'd allegedly been drinking.

Episode 4: In Sheep's Clothing

Beast is first brought up when Snow reports to Bigby that Beauty's house called her since they might have information on the case. Bigby arrives to find the two, with Beast agitated, speaking with one another. Eventually, Bigby deduces that they went to the Crooked Man for financial help. The mood of the conversation depends on the player's choices.

Episode 5: Cry Wolf

Beast appears in the scene after Bigby either kills the Crooked Man or brings him in to stand trial (this scene is dramatically different depending on whether or not Bigby shows up with his corpse or with him in handcuffs). He will openly take a stand against Bigby if Bigby killed him, remarking that his actions are too far. If Bigby brings The Crooked Man to trial and chooses to imprison him rather than throw him down the Witching Well, Beast will approve of Bigby's choice, assuring him that he is doing the right thing.

Powers and Abilities

Beast, like Bigby has the ability to transform into his true form without the use of a glamour. However, unlike Bigby, his beast form is more human than beast in appearance. In his beast form he grows horns, sharp claws, pointy ears, and hairier arms.

He is shown to be quite strong as he is able to toss Bigby through a door and against a wall with ease (Determinant) and rip a steam pipe from the wall with little difficulty. Using the pipe, he was able to pin Bigby against the wall with it, despite the wolf having entered his half werewolf form. He is also shown to have endurance to injuries as shown when he was stabbed in the eyes by Bigby but his eyes managed to stay intact. His endurance isn't as good when pinned to the floor and beaten by Bigby (Determinant) as he took much longer to get back on his feet than Bigby does, even though he hit Bigby last with a glass bottle.

Personality

Like Beauty, Beast is almost always mature, pragmatic and friendly. He is truly dedicated to his wife, as his remarks in In Sheep's Clothing demonstrate (even determined to have her not needing to work). However, he is overprotective of Beauty, as seen by when he preemptively attacked Bigby because he saw them together at the Open Arms Hotel. However, most of the time, he remains mature and collected.

Book of Fables Entry

"Beast and his wife, Beauty, left everything behind when they escaped the Homelands in the Exodus. Without his former wealth, Beast must pick up extra work to make ends meet. He is able to get around Fabletown without a glamour most of the time, but if Beauty gets too angry with him he becomes more beastly by the minute, growing horns and large teeth. Despite the occasional bickering, the two are truly in love and have the longest lasting relationship of anyone in Fabletown."
