Rumpelstiltskin is a fairy tale character, not a real person.

In the tale Rumpelstiltskin, a miller boasted to a king that his daughter could spin straw into gold. As a result, the king locked the girl up with straw and a spinning wheel, and told her that she must spin the straw into gold or die the next day. While the girl is lamenting her fate, a dwarf (Rumpelstiltskin) appears, and offers to help her. However, the price of helping her is her first born child. Out of despair, the girl agrees.

Miraculously, the dwarf spins straw into gold! The king marries the girl, and soon the new queen is pregnant and gives birth to a baby! When Rumpelstiltskin comes to take his reward, the mother doesn't want to give the baby, so he tells her that she has three days to guess his name. The first two days, she fails to guess his name correctly. In the final day a servant overhears the dwarf sing a song that contains his name, and tells the girl (who is now a queen), so she gets to keep the child. Rumpelstiltskin disappears angrily, never to be seen again.
are you asking for rumplestilki or Rumpelstiltskin. i think that's how you spell his name.
