Bigby is a hard and cold person, because of his experiences in the fairy-tale Homelands and formerly being the most notorious fairy-tale villain to many of the Fables. His violent past causes him to be despised by many in the Fable community. However despite his coarse nature he seems to truly want to atone for his past misdeeds and takes his role as Sheriff of Fabletown very seriously. He also cares very deeply about the safety and well being of the other Fables, espescially Snow White, whose kindness and love was enough to turn him from his evil ways and become the protector of Fables that he now is.
