Mayor Tomkins

Mayor Tomkins is a character on ABC's Once Upon a Time. He is portrayed by Bill Dow, and it is unknown if he has a Storybrooke counterpart.

During one wolfstime—a period of time in which a wolf terrorizes Red Riding Hood's village-a wolf kills a lot of livestock. Mayor Tomkins asks Granny for support in their hunting party, as Granny is the one who knows the most about the wolves that target the village during wolfstime. However, Granny refuses to help the group and shuts the door in their faces. She tells Red to go to bed and wear her cloak, which Red obligingly does. However, the next morning, Mayor Tomkins' hunting party is found slaughtered by the wolf near the well.

Mayor Tomkins calls for a town meeting and expresses regret over the lives lost. He vows that the slaughter will be the last massacre of their people, but Granny tries to dissuade the villagers from going out against the wolf all at once. She tells them about her own story—how seven fully-grown men were killed in one instant by that single wolf.

Nevertheless, on the last day of wolfstime, Mayor Tomkins leads a hunting party for the wolf, only to discover Granny and the destroyed corpse of the blacksmith's boy, Peter.
