I was thinking the Woodsman hails from Aurora's kingdom, having been a tracker that was looking into rumors that there was an evil magic user about and then came upon the lovely Mal that thought him tat he best be careful what he looks for because he ended up finding it. From there she corrupted him and then sent him on his way to help Mal, as well as Jareth's plans to corrupt the Princesses.<br/><br/>So just to say in short, the plan will work quite nicely with the passing of the Princesses.
