Has anybody suggested that the Crooked Man might be...
Ebeneezer Scrooge? Or at least working for him?
I can't be the only one whose mind went there after somebody pointed out Tiny Tim inside the vehicle with Bloody Mary. I mean, it makes sense, right? Scrooge was a money lender and all around bastard. It fits in with the recurring theme in this series about whether Fables can ever truly change their ways. Could one night of visitation by spooks really turn Scrooge from stingy jerkwad to magnanimous saint?
Maybe that's the dichotomy Telltale is playing out. Fables who are able to reform, like Bigby, versus the Fables that fell back to what they knew best upon leaving the Homelands.

The crooked man is the crooked man from the poem of the same name
Well, that's why I said, "or at least working for him." I'm aware of the poem, but there's no reason, really, that the characters can't be one and the same. That's a four-line poem, so it leaves things well open to interpretation. Or perhaps Scrooge just assumed the identity of the Crooked Man, kind of like the Dread Pirate Roberts.
Anyway...just a whimsical thought. I don't think it's that absurd.
