History: (Fables # 53) - Snow Queen chose Tom Harrow as one of the six warlocks to carry out her war plan on the Mundy World. He would be the first wave of the plan: plagues. She would infiltrate him into the Mundy World as an ordinary human tenant of a population center, and at a chosen day in 2009, three years hence, all the warlocks would be released. Tom was to spread six diseases to a populated area, then over the course of the next six days, go to nearby smaller towns and cities to kill any patches of humanity that may have missed the first wave. After the sixth day, he would be called back, paving the way for the second stage of invasion.
