Oh yeah. But Fiona isn't all ogre, is she? By day one way by night another. Blardy blardy blar. (Laughs Evilly) NOBODY'S SMART BUT ME!

~ Rumpelstiltskin
Rumpelstiltskin (or simply Rumpel) is a minor villain in Shrek the Third and the main antagonist of Shrek Forever After.
He is a derisive and fraudster deal maker who grants wishes/deals to his customers, who later become his items because he twists the deal in his own way.
Rumpelstiltskin appears as a minor villain in Shrek The Third in The Poison Apple when Prince Charming convinces all the villains to attack and take over Far Far Away. Rumpel's appearance and voice are different from his later appearance, and it is also mentioned that he was promised a firstborn that never came.
Shrek Forever After[]
Personality[]
Rumpelstiltskin is extremely tricky, short-tempered, hateful, and power-hungry. He is a rather skilled con man who will do whatever it takes to become King of Far Far Away, even through sinister means, like be tricking Fiona's parents in order to take their throne by erasing them from existence. After discovering that Shrek had rescued Fiona from the tower, (causing the contract with the Kings to be cancelled), Rumpelstiltskin's anger became uncontrollable and his hatred of Shrek grew stronger, to the point where he wished that he never existed. He possesses great talent for manipulation and deception, as he was able to easily trick a vulnerable Shrek through persuasion into signing a contract that would turn him into a true ogre again, knowing that after 24 hours, he would be erased of existence.
Despite his nature, Rumpelstiltskin genuinely loves his pet goose, Fifi, with him being the only one exempt from his cruelty, as he pampers him all the time, and looks horrified when Fifi explodes to death. He also had some comedic moments, albeit a lot minor compared to his actions.

~ Rumpelstiltskin swearing vengeance on Shrek

No, Shrek, it's not what I've done. It's what you've done. Thanks to you, the King and Queen signed their kingdom over to me.

They would if I promised them all their problems would disappear. And then THEY disappeared! They would have done anything if they thought it would end their daughter's curse.

How could you when you never existed?

(takes the contract from Shrek's vest) Here, let me spell it out for you! (points to fine print) You gave me a day from your past, a day you couldn't even remember. A day when you were an innocent, mindless little baby. (puts the contract back into Shrek's vest and hums the "Happy Birthday" song)

~ Rumpelstiltskin
“
No, Shrek. You gave it to me.

Bub-bub-bub-bub...! But you haven't heard the best part. (a witch places a huge hourglass on the table) Since you were never born, once this day comes to an end, so will you.

Silly little ogre. You don't get it, do you? You see, you were never born. You never met Fiona. (menacingly) Your kids don't exist. (Shrek glares, Rumpelstiltskin and the witches begin to laugh) How's that for a metaphysical paradox?! (Shrek grits his teeth, Rumpelstiltskin and the witches laugh even harder) Looks like you got exactly what you wanted!! (Shrek snarls with intense fury as Rumpel and the witches continue to laugh and mock him) HAPPY OGRE DAY!!!

Some people like to look at the goblet as--as half empty. Me, I like to look at it as half full. We've gone from the bottom to the top, ladies, but we're not just an empire, we're a family. Everyone has got their cupcake? Cupcake? Cupcake? Good. Yes? Baba? Good. Yeah, you know, we have put away a lot of ogres. And so one got away. Who cares? It's not a big deal. It doesn't matter to me. It's not like it's the end of the world. Except, funny thing... Now that I think about it, the ogre who got away is Shrek! And if he shares a kiss with Fiona by sunrise, it IS the end of the world! OUR world! MY EMPIRE!! But, as I was saying, I like to look at the goblet as half full. Yelling makes me so parched. Would anyone care for some water? Wet your whistle? A clear, crisp, delicious glass... of aqua purificada? Anybody's thirsty? Nobody's thirsty? No? Well, then does anyone care to tell me what it's going to take to get this ogre?!

Wolfie, my angry wig.

You know, that's actually not a bad idea. Baba! I need a bounty hunter. And if music doth soothe the savage beast... (chortles evilly a bit) then I think I might know just the person!
„
~ Rumpelstiltskin having a meeting with his witches on how to capture Shrek and decides to hire a bounty hunter.
“
NO! N-n-n-n-n-n-no!! No, not yet! No, I'm not ready!! NO, WAIT!! AAAAAAAAAH!!!!!!!

~ Rumpelstiltskin's last words as he meets his defeat after Fiona kisses Shrek to break the contract and fix the timeline.
