He makes sense as the raven from his behavior, the way he isolates and orders Mytho around, and he's the only other character we've seen so far object to the prince's slow recovery of his emotions—for that matter, the only other character who seems to know that Mytho is the prince—but he doesn't feel right. I admit that I may have biased myself with the paradigm of Swan Lake, which would cast Duck as Odette and Rue as Odile, but also Fakir's actions don't quite add up. The prince shattered his heart when he bound the raven, yes? So if the prince were to regain his heart, would this set the raven free? Or has the raven worked himself free already, so that the regathering of the prince's heart represents a threat to him?
This is why we need to know more about Drosselmeyer's original tale. In a sane universe, Duck would just go and read the book.
