Actually, George was number 2 on my list, with his fascination for GOLD, and his ruthless atttude towards obtaining it. I can totally see him forcing a girl to spin gold for him. In that respect he fits perfectly; Setting a contest, getting a girl to do his bidding, promising her marriage and then going: Oops sorry, no can do, you’re beneath me and not a profitable match. They both share a lust for power, so that would make the match even more likely. Maybe that makes him even a more suitable match then Midas.
Reason I chose Midas was that when Abigail and Regina meet in Storybrooke they seem to bond like sisters. Not that that would stop Regina from wanting her dead later on…She killed her own father after all.
I don’t see Cora and Rumpel as a love match. Yes, his power will attract her, but I can’t see it the other way round. I don’t think he felt anything for any woman until Belle. Not romantic love anyways. I can see him as a “father” to her though, finding her at a teenage age, alone and orphanned, taking her in and teaching her because he feels sorry for her. This would explain how she gets her magic.
Of course he gets betrayed, as she runs off to spin gold for a King. And we all know Rumpel does not take betrayal very well.
