Who the crooked man is

So I've recently discovered this and Im not sure how many other people are aware of this, but I have a good guess at who he actually is. While we hear a few mentions of him being the one who the tweedles are working for, the identity is unknown, but we know it is referring to the man from the nursery rhyme, which mentions the crooked man with the crooked cat that caught a crooked mouse.
It's noted in the book of fables under the profile of bluebeard, that "Even if he was able to leave his violent ways in the Homelands, that hasn't stopped him from making the occasional trip down CROOKED LANE." with that information we can guess that he (the crooked man) is likely the antagonist of the series, ever since the suggestion that he would likely be taking over after crane, because of the scene at the "next time" segment, shown at the end of episode 2. Makes sense cause he likes decapitating women. So no-brainer.

    No you are wrong. The crooked man and bluebeard are from different stories, they are not the same person. Somebody managed to find his model and make video of it so here it is; The crooked man

    While I admit that's something quite compelling, I was simply stating my thoughts after playing the last episode. But I'm still gonna remain skeptical until the next chapter comes out.

    I seriously doubt Bluebeard is involved in the murders due to continuity reasons. I suppose it could still happen, but it would require a lot of explanation. I missed the bit about "crooked lane," though, and it wouldn't surprise me if he's had dealings with the Crooked Man. I do find it odd that he was getting involved in Bigby's interrogation, since he's not officially connected to Fabletown's government. Could be that he's trying to cover some of his shadier dealings, or else he's as worried about this Crooked Man as everyone else.

    It's the ginger man from the first episode for a few reasons.

    1. His tie has crooks on it
    2. His clothing is the same texture as the piece of cloth you found in the first episode.
    3. He appears everywhere, seemingly stalking Bigby in the first episode.
    4. He's always wearing a smug smile on his face with every encounter.
    5. He's a ginger and therefore has no soul, making him the perfect antagonist.

    No. 5
    is that a fable lore or something?
