I like the idea of King triton the best right now since we’ve heard rumors of a little mermaid story, and his name is whale.
I think the possibility of him making a deal with Regina-ursula, or gold could come into play regaurding a certain mermaid but i definitely feel like he has some power issues and something was taken from him. King triton was know for that
my only draw back is that he’s such a womanizer… I don’t know about him being a father figure, but I like the idea cause that would make things intersting in the mermaid household. also he didn’t really sound like the ruler of the sea when he was revealed other than instigating a mob on regina. It was very Gaston like ( We’ve already seen him)
I’m mixed on my theory, maybe he’s a lost boy, with mommy issues. but Triton is my favorite guess….please thoguth please make the mermaids better than the fairies! 😀
