I. Rumpelstiltskin

What everyone knows is how the dwarf/elf/troll/creature Rumpelstiltskin had a knack for scaling sheer walls and spinning straw into gold in exchange for god he had the ability to acquire on his own and children not yet in existence.

What no one knows is that Rumpelstiltskin's real name was Jerry.
