Mother Timothy Goose
Mother Timothy Goose, played by Ally Beardsley, introduces himself as Timothy Goose, a caretaker in his village, graying, a little slumped and bumbling but trying hard, and he says he is called Mother Goose and carries a big book in which what he writes is absorbed if it does not mean anything, and he adds that the only word that has stuck is "shoe" NA E1·01:03:50. His weapon is a broom with a sharpened end, he travels with Ylfa, and Boffit asks him to tell stories by the enchanted log fire NA E1·01:07:03 NA E1·01:03:02 NA E1·01:07:50 NA E1·01:07:57. In a flashback he comes home to his husband Henry carrying the bones of their son Jack, saying he saw Jack die and that a goose was involved, and that he made a second wish quickly and the goose gave him the book NA E1·01:19:56 NA E1·01:20:14 NA E1·01:20:28 NA E1·01:21:40. He writes Jack's name in it, and the nursery rhyme "Jack be nimble" drives off the Gander NA E1·01:23:04 NA E1·01:25:56 NA E1·01:26:34.
In the second episode Timothy sits with Cole by the fire, and when a page of his book glows with fiddle music he writes the rhyme with Cole and lets the spell finish NA E2·00:06:21 NA E2·00:17:22 NA E2·00:21:38. Cole is taken into the book, and Timothy says "I don't know what happened." NA E2·00:23:36 In Elegy he is cut down in the fight with the Fairy Godmother NA E3·01:44:37. He stabilizes and has a last vision of the Gander in its bonnet, telling it to take the bonnet off, and says "I will, but I'm dead" NA E3·02:13:30 NA E3·02:13:34 NA E3·02:13:39. When he says "I got my third wish right here", the Gander answers "Granted.", bites his finger off, and he dies in the total party kill NA E3·02:13:44 NA E3·02:13:55 NA E3·02:14:08. In the fourth episode he flies on the Golden Goose, who tells him he is dead, that the Gander is her brother, that the book was granted by the Gander through a clever wish, and that the Jack of the world he is going to is not his son NA E4·02:03:59 NA E4·02:05:20 NA E4·02:11:36 NA E4·02:10:38.

At the Cock & Toad he arrives with a basket of apples and the book NA E5·00:19:07. The Dish tells Timothy his story in a corner NA E5·00:43:15. He then vanishes into golden motes and the page reads "And the Dish ran away with the Spoon" NA E5·00:44:06. A hand in the book writes back from a cave; it is Scheherazade, who speaks with him through the pages NA E5·01:02:05 NA E5·01:02:42. In the sixth episode Jack leaps out of the book in golden light to lend him spryness, and Timothy writes "curds and whey" into the book as he casts Shatter NA E6·00:12:19 NA E6·00:35:55. He seals the spider part into the book by writing "Along came a spider" NA E6·01:32:31. Little Miss Muffet touches the book and chooses to stay NA E6·01:34:31 NA E6·01:35:29. In the seventh he offers Itsy Bitsy a place in the book and writes a carefree Pinocchio story, but the ink is swallowed by the page; when he suggests a different story some day, Pinocchio declines NA E7·00:17:42 NA E7·00:57:35 NA E7·00:57:44 NA E7·00:58:37. In The Lines Between he looks through the Canonade's keyhole at the ink, fails a Wisdom save, feels himself reduced to ink on someone else's paper, and Ylfa's shout brings him back with his hands flat as parchment NA E8·01:05:07 NA E8·01:05:36 NA E8·01:08:13 NA E8·01:08:36.
In the ninth episode the golden ball goes into his book, the ink of The Frog Prince moves into Gerard, and a hole of shadow opens in the book and sucks him in; Ylfa and Rosamund grab on in a chain and the party is pulled into the book with him NA E9·01:36:46 NA E9·01:39:53 NA E9·01:41:48 NA E9·01:41:59. There the Gander tells him his wish to save his son and the Neverafter was a bum wish and that it will be waiting for the third NA E9·01:48:39. Afterwards Brennan says his book has absorbed information from The Lines Between and can cast Legend Lore once per day NA E9·02:11:30 NA E9·02:12:15.

Snow White tells him his wish makes him carry the key to ending the times of shadow NA E12·00:55:46. She offers to caretake the book, and he answers that he gave up too much to have it NA E12·00:56:51 NA E12·00:57:05. He tells Mira that he got his powers from the Gander through a wish NA E12·01:40:38. In the fifteenth episode Rapunzel's hug cocoons him in hair, and afterwards his book is blank NA E15·01:09:10 NA E15·01:55:14. At the bottom of the beanstalk he meets Jack the Giant Killer, a Jack who is not his son in this world, tells him that in another world he is his dad, and when Brennan offers him a third wish he does not take it NA E16·00:15:55 NA E16·01:49:58 NA E16·01:50:07.
The Golden Goose tells him in the seventeenth episode "Your third wish will kill you." NA E17·00:26:27 At the Castle of the North Wind the Goose makes his third wish for his book back, the Gander grants it and tears her apart, and he grabs the falling book NA E17·01:24:26 NA E17·01:25:28 NA E17·01:26:33. Writing with her feather, the words "Goose" and "Gander" stick in the book, and the illustration changes NA E17·01:30:13. He later puts Marco, Ricard and Tomas into the book for safety NA E17·01:39:04 NA E17·01:39:16. In the Baba Yaga's garden he gets a Nature natural 20, pulls a red cloak, a marionette handle and boots out of the ground and touches each to his book, writes the Mother Goose rhyme, and sees how the times of shadow began NA E18·01:27:48 NA E18·01:28:44 NA E18·01:32:23 NA E18·01:34:12. He offers the Baba Yaga a full page of the true book if the party can shred it so that everyone gets a piece and a drop of ink NA E18·01:37:03. He writes the Stepmother's name, which Pinocchio has brought, in the book, and Brennan says this puts part of her back into the Neverafter; he then heals Jack NA E18·02:01:55 NA E18·02:03:52 NA E18·02:05:41.
In the Canonade he casts Bless on the others, Dimension Doors with Pib, pulls Scheherazade into his arms and pleads with her, and breaks Snow White's concentration with Vicious Mockery NA E19·00:15:47 NA E19·01:03:10 NA E19·01:06:00 NA E19·01:41:25. In the finale he concentrates on a spell while Scheherazade works to unweave Snow White's NA E20·00:10:14 NA E20·00:20:26. He heals Rosamund and Scheherazade and feeds Pib a Goodberry by Mage Hand NA E20·00:09:24 NA E20·00:49:12 NA E20·00:49:35 NA E20·01:54:00. Then he releases the spell to rewrite the fate of all stories; as Ally tells it, a small piece of the true book and a drop of ink find each person, almost like communion NA E20·01:54:24 NA E20·02:02:09. Brennan says it takes an 18 or higher with five chances, and the spell works against all odds NA E20·01:55:44 NA E20·02:02:32. Brennan says he asked not for power or an ending but for a chance for everybody to write their own story NA E20·02:02:32. In the farewell he clasps hands with Scheherazade and says people like them are going to be important now NA E20·02:06:49 NA E20·02:07:09. In his epilogue, as Ally tells it, he is at home in Hapley with Henry as a gentle counsellor, and Brennan has Jack come home having traded the cow for the Gander in its red bonnet NA E20·02:19:24 NA E20·02:20:56 NA E20·02:21:14. Brennan says the Gander shakes off the will of its Author and flies through the lands of fairy tale bearing a wise witch, and Henry can come too NA E20·02:22:09 NA E20·02:22:37.
