Rumpelstiltskin
Rumplestiltskin was a fictional character from an ancient Earth fairy tale originating in Germany who spun straw into gold. He agreed to do so for a young maiden in exchange for her first-born son. He told her she could only keep it if she guessed his name, which she did, and he became so angry that he killed himself.
The story was one of Molly O'Brien's favorites. In 2369, an alien entity appeared to Molly in the form of Rumplestiltskin. The alien was on a mission of exploration and had followed a ship through the wormhole to Deep Space 9. (DS9: "If Wishes Were Horses")
- "Rumpelstiltskin" was played by Michael J. Anderson.
